#

ohh ok

#

so basically i have created a function where i make a payment via a payment element and it deducts the application fee from the charge so it goes to the platform's account right

#

so it works fine

#

ok

#

now after the transaction i wanted to use this https://stripe.com/docs/connect/separate-charges-and-transfers, separate charges to transfer from the platform's account to two different connected accounts, i created a payment intent first for the transfers and created the transfers but the transfer didnt work

i have a question i think that can clear it up for me

#

when making separate charges and transfers, can i make transfers directly from the platforms account or when i create the payment intent for the transfer i have to accept a payment via payment element before i can run the create transfer function?

manic pike Jul 6, 2023, 10:31 AM

#

can i make transfers directly from the platforms account
only if your platform already has sufficient available balance accumulated on it.

#

please read the link I shared

#

manic pike please read the link I shared

ok sure, is a payment intent necessary for the transfer?

manic pike Jul 6, 2023, 10:46 AM

#

well you need to have money in your account to be able to transfer it anywhere

#

usually you make money by charging your end-customers, and you charge end-customers by using PaymentIntents 🙂

#

maybe that answers the question

#

manic pike well you need to have money in your account to be able to transfer it anywhere

yes exactly

#

ohh ok i understand now

#

i will just use the latest charge attribute from my payment intent and use it for my transfers and also set the source transaction , meaning no need for two payment intents, just the one that made the charge and i can use it and make as much transfers as the use case needs correct?

manic pike Jul 6, 2023, 10:52 AM

#

yes you usually would use the latest_charge from a PaymentIntent as the source_transaction for a Transfer

#

you can use the same charge for multiple transfers (https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges-transfers#transfer-availability again)
