hello! can you elaborate more on what you mean by hold earning balances

[rugged jetty]

I am trying to simulate paying a Connect account after completing a task. I am using Create a Charge but when the stripe function executes the balance doesn't change. (Express Dashboard)

[sacred junco]

can you share the request id [0] of the stripe function you executed but don't see the balance changing?

[0] https://stripe.com/docs/api/request_ids

[rugged jetty]

request id?

const paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.create({
amount: amount,
currency: 'usd',
automatic_payment_methods: {
enabled: true,
},
transfer_data: {
amount: fee,
destination: connectid,
},
});

[sacred junco]

do you have the PaymentIntent id that you can share for me to take a look then?

[sacred junco]

you haven't collected a payment method for the PaymentIntent yet. The PaymentIntent is still in requires_payment_method status, and is not yet successful, that's why you don't see any transfers to the connected account

I suggest taking a look at these pages for guidance on how to collect a payment method / accept payments :

• https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment
• https://stripe.com/docs/payments/quickstart

I am currently using Checkout to collect payments, then at that point a job is created where a Connect user can sign up and complete job. That is when we want to transfer payment

Should I not use Checkout?

[sacred junco]

i'm not sure I understand. You mention you're using Checkout, but your code is creating a PaymentIntent (which shows that you're not using Stripe Checkout)

[rugged jetty]

I guess. I am asking how do I just transfer funds to Connect account? We already accepted payments

[sacred junco]

To clarify, you mentioned you accepted payments. However, the PaymentIntent that you've provided is not yet successful i.e. successful payment has not yet been made

that section of code that you've provided will automatically transfer funds to a Connect account when the payment is successful

if you just want to see how it works, you can use a test card listed here : https://stripe.com/docs/testing e.g. pm_card_visa

Okay so at the point where we want to pay the Connect account, the customer has already paid the platform for the service. Is it possible for the platform to settle the payment ?

[sacred junco]

you could consider https://stripe.com/docs/connect/separate-charges-and-transfers

are your connected accounts based in the same region as your platform account? or are the connected accounts located around the world i.e. internationally?

[rugged jetty]

All US base, may get Canadian but we only accept US currency

[sacred junco]

if you want to perform separate charges and transfers, then you can only create either custom / express connected accounts with the recipient agreement for the CA accounts

otherwise, you won't be able to create cross border transfers

[rugged jetty]

Ok. Do transfers handle the stripe fee? If not how does that work paying it?

[sacred junco]

no, transfers don't handle the Stripe fee, you can transfer less to the connected account to account for the Stripe fee

[rugged jetty]

got it. Last question what percentage are stripe fees?

[sacred junco]

you can take a look at https://stripe.com/pricing. If you have more questions about pricing, you'll want to reach out to Stripe Support - https://support.stripe.com/contact and they'll be able to advise you on your questions!
