here is an example transfer: tr_1NuhyZC4wJCtRlFJ4lLnbZFG

the description is there which is great but on the user side they can't see it (presumably because the payment py_1NuhyZCN2XsSho5XBLe7zHXg
doesn't have a description)

That's expected as the transfer object is owned by the platform vs the payment object is owned by the connected account. There's no way to pass on the description to the payment object.

You can update them retroactively though

hm how would i do that

i just want the user to know what the payment is for

You can retrieve the transfer and look for destination_payment which will give you a py_xxx object ID
https://stripe.com/docs/api/transfers/object#transfer_object-destination_payment

These are charge objects. You should be able to update the description of the py_xx object by calling Update a charge endpoint
https://stripe.com/docs/api/charges/update

You'll need to pass in Stripe-Account header as the connected account ID since this py_xxx belongs to the connected account
