Hi 👋 this is pretty vague, so I may not be grasping your goal, but in general no. Payments can't be split, you'd handle the logic for splitting the payment on your end and then create two (or more) payments in Stripe to process each split of the payment.

so what are alternatives for example if i handle it myself
for example there are 2 users that are trying to split costs
one of them paid 2nd ones payment didnt go threw in reasonable amount of time
how can i handle it
i meen handle returning money

Depends on how you want the flow to behave. Do you want to actually process each payment immediately and fully, and then have to refund one of the payments if the other fails?

Do you want to retain the funds from one payment if the other fails and allow both parties to try to pay the remaining cost?
Would you rather only authorize the payments (if you're in a market where the card issuers support that) until all parts are authorized, and then capture the funds?

Is there an option to "freeze" either payment until both go threw?
cedar sentinel
Hold on sending funds until both are good

That's referred to as separating the authorization (getting the payment approved) and confirmation (moving the funds to your account) in Stripe, and is discussed in my latest link (pasting again for convenience)

There isn't prebuilt logic to prevent one payment from progressing until the other is in a desired state, you will need to custom build that logic but that's the feature you would use to accomplish that.
