Hi! Let me help you with this.

Not sure what's Thumbtack.
Do you mean you want to charge the customer first as a Platform, and then trasfer a portion to the provider (Connected account) immediately, and then the rest, after the job is completed?

[ebon plank]

No, so what I am trying to achieve is. A Customer (job poster) posts a job. A worker sends an offer to the job poster. Job poster accepts the job offer (and makes the payment). The worker proceeds to work & finish the job. Once the job is finished the worker informs the job poster and job poster then proceeds to mark the job as complete (& payment is released at this point).

I hope this helps

1. Job poster accepts the job offer (and makes the payment) - create and confirm the PaymentIntent.
2. Once the job is finished the worker informs the job poster and job poster then proceeds to mark the job as complete - create a Transfer to the Connected account.

Basically what I said but without step 2.

I am sorry for keeping you on asking questions, but is this correct for Step 1?

            amount=int(Decimal(str(offer.price)) * Decimal("1.2") * Decimal("100")),
            currency="ron",
            transfer_group="Job" + str(offer.job.id),
        )```

ie. Does Step 1 put the money in the Platform's Stripe account?

[regal echo]

Yes

[ebon plank]

Thank you

Thank you very much. For step 2, is this the correct code?

stripe.Transfer.create(
  amount=(90% to the worker),
  currency="ron",
  source_transaction = {{PAYMENT INTENT ID FROM STEP 1}}
  destination="{{WORKER'S CONNECT STRIPE ACC ID}}",
  transfer_group="Job" + str(offer.job.id),
)

[regal echo]

source_transaction is not required if you got transfer_group, but yes, this looks good.

[ebon plank]

I want to use source_transaction so the payment to the worker is made only when money is 100% available from the job poster. So if i was to do that, should source_transaction reference payment intent id from Step 1?

Thank you Vanya

[regal echo]

What do you mean by "100% available"?

You can either use source_transaction or transfer_group

[ebon plank]

Sorry, i mean if the job poster's payment has been cleared in the platform's account

[regal echo]

If you don't use any, you won't be able to do the transfer until the balance is available in your Platform balance, but that might take a few business days.

If you use one of those params, you will be able to transfer the funds to your connected account immediately (or whenever you want).

[ebon plank]

Yes, I understand

Thank you very much, i think that's all

Happy to help!
