for example: i want to initiate a transfer and a manual payout form my backend. and i want to be able to track this payout callback. hence i want to payout the exact amount of the transfer

(to avoid other transfers happenning in between)

Okie, how does your transfer object look like?

transfer is still on the presentle currency, but your connected account has a different settlement currency?

[woven olive]

correct

transfer only has the presentment currency (usd)

where my connect settlment currency is cad

[vestal dagger]

Okie, does the Balance Transaction corresponding to that Transfer, has any information?

[woven olive]

looks like the py_* object has that information

[vestal dagger]

Yeah the py_ is the genereated Charge on Connected Account!

[woven olive]

i should use that then to find out the final settlement value?

what's the api (and python sdk equivalent) for this?

i cant find anything for Payments on the reference docs. Using Charges doesn't work either

[vestal dagger]

First let's use Retrieve Charge API https://stripe.com/docs/api/charges/retrieve?lang=python on the py object, with the Stripe Account header point to your Connected Account

i am running curl against that charges/py_****

but getting resource missing

{
"error": {
"code": "resource_missing",
"doc_url": "https://stripe.com/docs/error-codes/resource-missing",
"message": "No such charge: 'py_1Ni9Rx2e33YNR1RYpKMcATHv'",
"param": "id",
"request_log_url": "https://dashboard.stripe.com/logs/req_DQA98AkEzMpp8d?t=1692774051",
"type": "invalid_request_error"
}
}

[vestal dagger]

Did you specify the Stripe Account header?

[woven olive]

ah ok i was able to get the py_ from that method

but it still doesn't have the cad settlement

[vestal dagger]

Okie, then now can you find the Balance Transaction to that py object?

expand balance_transaction when you retrieve

[woven olive]

oooo ya ok i get this

i got it

is there a way to chain these or get it in one round trip?

otherwise i would have to go through 3 round trips to get this information: transfer -> payment -> connected_account's balance tranaction

[vestal dagger]

Transfer is on your Platform ,so cannot chain

But payment to balance transaction can be done via 1 API, using expand
