Hello 👋
Give me a few to take a look
If you use one of the test cards listed here then the balance should move to available immediately
https://stripe.com/docs/testing#available-balance
For payouts issue, I believe you need to create an external account using the btok_xx you have created, like shown in the example here
https://stripe.com/docs/api/external_account_bank_accounts/create?lang=node

I got the balance, I tried to do a transfer to a connected account - get this error:
Funds can't be sent to accounts located in IN because it's restricted outside of your platform's region.

Ah what country does your platform account belong to?
Can you share the request ID where you're seeing this error?
tacit pilot
I did in the UI - so how to find request ID there?
tacit pilot
failed trasnfer to connect account - req_LftjgNoWO3Iy5I
`platform_account_id = "acct_1NI6WUSE13Uh92D5" # Replace with your platform account ID
try:
platform_account = stripe.Account.retrieve(platform_account_id)
country = platform_account.country
print("Country:", country)
except stripe.error.StripeError as e:
print("Error:", str(e))
`
Output - Country: IN
both connect account and platform account - is IN

Ah I don't think we support separate transfers for marketplaces in India yet

You may need special permission in order to perform that transfer. Unforatunely, our team on discord won't know a ton about it. Our support team can help look into this via
https://support.stripe.com/?contact=true
As a workaround, you can create a direct charge with the test cards I shared above which should settle the fund on the connected account and update the balance
Then you can create a payout for that account

Thanks a ton!
Ok, can I also describe our use case and see if my understanding of implementing Stripe is correct? Or should I make a different question for that?

We will have two type of entities interacting with the platform:
- entity 1 - making an upfront payment to the platform
- entity 2 - a team of accounts getting the payment distributed among them from the platform - out of the upfront payment done by entity 1.
I wanted to implement:
- Upfront Payment - as a direct card transfer + PaymentIntent Creation, confirmation flow.
- entity 2 - recieving the payment in a distributive manner - will each be connect accounts?? - or should we simple use customers instead of connect accounts?
One more question - They is no way to bypass giving out onboarding link for connect accounts using an API or programatically prefilling all the fields?:(parameters from here - https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/create)

No, you can prefill the details but the standard account holder still needs to confirm the information before completing onboarding.

If you're planning to send money to your users' bank accounts then they need to be connected accounts
