Yeah that's all expected. Destination charges are created on the platform account. Only funds are transfered to the connect account. Params like description, etc are not carried over to the destination account

so what i've done instead is grab the destination_payment from the transfer object and update that charge with the appropriate description.
wispy stone
Yeah you can do that
It won't be carried over automatically
Why do you need it on the destination_payment though?
mellow minnow
that way our customers (connected accounts) know what the payment was for.

but now i'm having a hard time getting WHO made the payment
wispy stone
Yeah I mean w/ destination charges and express and custom accounts those details are mostly supposed to be invisible to the connect account holder. Sounds like you might benefit from using Standard Accounts and direct charges. All those details would then live on the connect accounts and the account holders would have more visibility into these things.
mellow minnow
yes we used to do direct charges and it was awesome! cause that data would show up. But we've changed all our code to now do PaymentIntents so that we can take advantage of ACH and payment plans
wispy stone
You can absolutely do direct charges with payment intents as well
Our direct charge docs reference payment intents: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/direct-charges

No worries! Happy to help

Sounds like destination charges: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/destination-charges

If i'm not doing a direct charge what am i doing?
wispy stone
But would need a payment intent id to check and confirm that
It should be noted that connect account type matters here as well. Destination charges are supposed to be done generally on Express and Custom accounts. Direct Charges are supposed to be generally done on Standard Connect Accounts.
wispy stone
Yup that's a destination charge

gotcha. so i would have to figure out what accout type the connected account is before making the charge
wispy stone
Well you should stick to an account type generally
That way you can have a consistent fund flow
Unless you have a usecase to mix them
But that test payment intent was a destination charge + standard account which is never really recommended
You should be doing direct charges anyway with standard accounts
mellow minnow
thank you so much!
wispy stone
No problem

have a great rest of your friday, enjoy your weekend!
