Thank you for that. It looks like the account you're trying to make a Transfer to isn't currently associated with your primary account via a Connect relationship. So you won't be able to make Transfers to it.
Since this is for an existing Stripe account, you can use the OAuth process to link the two:
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/oauth-standard-accounts
We don't recommend this approach anymore as a production solution though, we typically only recommend it for testing purposes.
For production flows with Standard Connected Accounts, we recommend using the approach shown here to create and link accounts to your Platform:

Is there a way I can set this up?
So it works the recommended way
I will read through the link you sent. See if I can get that working

👍 sounds good, I think that'll help clear things up, but let me know if it doesn't. The gist is that right now you have two accounts that aren't related to each other. Connect only allows you to move funds between accounts if they're related, so you have to establish that relationship. With the newer flow you create an account (Connected Account) and generate an Account Link which handles onboarding and connects the Connected Account with your primary account (the Platform Account).
The OAuth flow can be used to connect an existing account to your platform rather than needing to make a new one.
