Correct

Confirm is the authorization

Capture is the charge

In most flows we automatically capture after you call confirm

But the separate auth and capture flow (for placing hold) makes it so you need to do it in those 2 steps separately

Perfect,
so in that case I've managed to handle everything up to the capturing of the charge

i've been following the ‘collect payment then payout’ guide, is the ‘separate charges and transfers’ guide the next step to then handle what happens to the payment in the backend? I am making a platform that needs to separate payments between suppliers, influencers, and the platform. I’m just a little bit unsure if i’m connecting these correctly as the guides are not directly referencing eachother

So you want to accept a payment on your platform, and then transfer pieces of it to multiple connect accounts?

If so, then separate charges and transfers is what you want

Ok awesome,
when doing so,
Am I correct in my understanding that the connection between the connected accounts and the actual purchase does not happen until I initiate the transfers?

As in, I don't connect the influencer and supplier to the purchase on stripes end during nor before the payment capture, and instead make that connection only when actually transferring funds to them?

[gilded ore]

The account needs to be connected to your platform first before transferring

But that should happen when you onboard their account

oh right, that makes sense 😅

Last question,
when sending cross-border payouts in need of a recipient service agreement, does said agreement parameter only need to be handled in the creation of the connected account/when they're onboarded? or is it something that needs to be passed/specified from my end for every cross-border payout that occurs?

[gilded ore]

No just when onboarding initially

Should only need to do it once

per connect account

perfect, thank you for your help! 🙂
