Hello! What's your question?

[smoky jacinth]

Wanted to get info on what would throw a Stripe exception when creating a Transfer? I don't see any 'Status' property returned in the Stripe.Transfer object, so I assume if the transfer fails on some level Stripe just throws an exception?

[lofty ether]

Yeah the transfer would either succeed or fail and that would be reflected by returning an error in the case of failure

[smoky jacinth]

you mean an exception? not an error...

[lofty ether]

well the API would return an error, which would be reflected by the SDK as an exception

so we're both right 🙂

[smoky jacinth]

ok, I didn't see much in the docs related to conditions that would cause any error, do you know if I can find those conditions anywhere? Ex. would an exception be thrown if the receiver (Stripe Connect account) of the Transfer removed his/her account?

another example - transfers are not active or payouts are disable...

[lofty ether]

I don't think we have a canonical list of exceptions - but yeah, if transfers aren't active, or maybe your account doesn't have enough funds to make the transfer that would result in the transfer failing

Also just to be clear - when I say Transfer I'm only referring to the Transfer of funds from one stripe account to another (so all the money is still in stripe balances). Removing the external bank account of a connect account shouldn't have any effect since that's only needed for payout

[smoky jacinth]

If all my Transfers are from my platform account to a Connect account, is that considered "from one stripe account to another"?

*Connect accounts (plural)

[lofty ether]

yup!
