Hi! Can you share the request ID (req_xxx)? Here's how you can find it: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

https://stripe.com/docs/connect/payouts-bank-accounts?bank-account-collection-integration=direct-api#manage-bank-accounts-and-debit-cards you should use external accounts API to create an external account, not payment methods API.

hmmm, my code looks just like the sample for creating the intent I think:
{
Customer = accountId,
FlowDirections = new List<string>() { "outbound"},
AutomaticPaymentMethods = new SetupIntentAutomaticPaymentMethodsOptions() { Enabled = false },
PaymentMethodTypes = new List<string>() { "card", "us_bank_account" }
};
var svc = new SetupIntentService();
var intent = await svc.CreateAsync(options).ConfigureAwait(false);
return intent.ClientSecret;
under the direct-api section

Which country did you seleect?
rotund quail
we are US only, but I didn't select a country in the documentation
rotund quail
that's weird, your docs look very different from mine:
Oh, I missed the part in the docs that says to create a customer for each connect account
How do I link the customer to the connect account though? That's what I was doing originally, but it wouldn't let me use the customer's payment method with the connect account
vernal edge
Which section of the doc that you are currently following?
rotund quail
(i.e. to transfer money from the connect account to the customer's payment method)
vernal edge
"(i.e. to transfer money from the connect account to the customer's payment method)" -> no I don't think it's possible.

Direct API, enable stripe financial connections:
This is the part that is confusing me:
Server-side
Insert a button or link on your onboarding form that calls a server-side endpoint to create a SetupIntent. The SetupIntent represents your intent to collect a connected account’s bank account information. For example, your button might say Link your bank account.
We recommend creating a Customer to correspond to each connected account. When creating a SetupIntent to collect bank account details for a connected account, set the following parameters:```specifically the second paragraph
vernal edge
Just want to clarify what you want to achieve here, you can transfer funds from connected account's Stripe balance to connected account's external account (i.e., bank account), but there's no ways to move fudns from a Stripe account's balance to a customer's payment method.

So I have the code in place to do a payout. The problem is, I can't add any payout methods from my UI because I can't figure out how to add one to a connect account. For testing, I was able to use the testing codes for adding a payout method (that don't require any setup intents or anything to create), but I can't figure out how to create a valid bank or card token for a connect account
My understanding was, I need to create a setupintent, pass the client secret to angular site, then use stripe elements to go through the add payment method flow (with us_bank_account and card selected)
but I can't seem to make a valid setupintent with an ID that starts with "acc_"
I am trying to make that "add card/bank button work"

Before you do that, the integration path for financial connection is a private beta, rememeber to request for access https://dashboard.stripe.com/financial-connections/application
rotund quail
I don't have to use the financial connections way if its not generally available, I just want to know what the normal way is for adding a "Payout" method
vernal edge
rotund quail
So I would need to create the form to collect the bank or credit card info?
vernal edge
Yes you are right.
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/custom/hosted-onboarding or you can use connect onboarding to collect
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/custom/hosted-onboarding#new-reqs-due remember to enable the Collect bank account information for payouts setting in Connect Settings.
rotund quail
We are creating custom Connect accounts using the API though, so I am not sure that method would work
vernal edge
It would, have you tried?
