Hello

hi

#

What type of Connected Account?

sick eagle Oct 11, 2023, 5:01 PM

#

express

#

it is an affiliate marketer who shares referral links and every time a new customer buys a subscription, the affiliate marketer gets rewarded a %

#

So yeah you can delete Express Accounts once their balance is zeroed: https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/delete

sick eagle Oct 11, 2023, 5:02 PM

#

But whatever is still remaining in their balance will be paid out to them and then their balance gets zerod? Or they lose their entire balance?>

#

So I would have to only allow them to delete their website account if they have a zero balance? How would I do that in the API?

#

Yes in Stripe you can't delete a Connected Account until their balance is 0, so yeah I wouldn't recommend you allow them to delete their account in your own database until that is true. You as the developer need to write code for that -- that isn't a Stripe-specific question so I can't help you with that.

#

What do you mean? I want to be able to do a lookup in the API then to see what the connect account's current balance is

#

If zero, then allow website account deletion, if not zero, do not allow account deletion

#

Oh, you are asking how to retrieve the balance of your Connected Account. You use https://stripe.com/docs/api/balance/balance_retrieve and pass the Stripe Account Header, see: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/authentication

okay thanks. And just wondering, I did this a few days ago. Are the payouts still automatic? https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/connect/accounts/acct_1Nu7mfIsMFguiimW/activity

#

Are you asking whether that account is on automatic payouts?

sick eagle Oct 11, 2023, 5:11 PM

#

Yes, it says daily but I don't see any in the payouts section. How would I set it to automatic?

onyx totem Oct 11, 2023, 5:12 PM

#

Daily does indicate automatic

sick eagle Oct 11, 2023, 5:14 PM

#

Cool. Wondering why then I don't see them there yet though

#

Payout schedule
Daily — 2 day rolling basis

#

Still not 2 days yet?

#

There is a 7 day delay on first payout if you have never had a payout on your platform: https://support.stripe.com/questions/waiting-period-for-first-payout-on-stripe
