Hello! Not sure I understand your use case fully. It sounds like it would mostly be something you build on your end when it comes to the services piece, but not sure what you mean by redeeming the balance?
Ok I can give a specific example :
- Customer buys from Seller X a service at 100$
- 100$ after fees will go to my Stripe account and 80$ goes into Seller X balance inside my website
- So now Seller X has 80$ in my website's balance and they can use it to buy on my website directly (that would be on my end) | I have 100$ after fees in my Stripe account
- Seller X does not want to use the 80$ in my website, they want to get it in their bank account (or similar). So they will cash out (redeem) the 80$ off my website.
I want to be able to send that 80$ to Seller X using Stripe at any given moment.
I hope I explained it better ๐
Is that something possible with the Accounts API?
Send money from my Stripe balance
even if there is no current payment intent
You can keep 100% of the payment as the platform and not send any to a connected account, and you can later create a Transfer to send money to a connected account, but other than that everything you described would need to be built custom on your end.
Oh so Transfers can happen at any moment?
I thought it was only when a payment intent was made
I saw that doc before and something confused me. Can a transfer be done without any Charge?
Yes, you can make transfers as long as there are funds on your Platform account. However, without charging ('without any Charge') the customer where would these funds come from?
Well the charge happenned before yeah, but I don't want the transfer to be related to a charge. For example, maybe Seller X spent 10$ with their website's balance, so I will only transfer 70$.
Thank you so much ๐
Yeah, that should work. I'd recommending trying it our on your test mode account using the test API key, https://stripe.com/docs/keys.
Ok thanks
