Hello
warm drift
hey there
gloomy sedge
Sounds like you are referring to Connect Reserves (https://support.stripe.com/questions/reserves-for-connect-platforms-and-connected-accounts) yes?
warm drift
yeah exactly
Is there any API documentation about fetching more detail on them? I'm guessing there might not be much since the stripe dashboard doesn't show any detail, but I wanted to check.
gloomy sedge
No, not really any further API documentation. However, you can see these as balance transactions (https://stripe.com/docs/api/balance_transactions) if you do want to reconcile the amount.
warm drift
gotcha, kk. Aside- do you know if it's normal/expected to see a high volume of balance transactions on express platform accounts? Our customers do process a decent volume of sales (~$5 million/year). Not many refunds though, mostly just charges.
(we're doing direct charges for them, specifying the connected express account's ID)
gloomy sedge
That all depends on your integration really.
Ideally you use destination charges with Express
warm drift
yeah, I get the sense we may have to switch to that for ease of accounting. I know the documentation recommends that.
if we did destination charges I'm guessing we'd see far fewer reserve transactions, since all the funds would flow through us as the platform?
gloomy sedge
Yes
warm drift
gotcha, thank you. I appreciate your time!
