This doc outlines how to determine is an account is 'enabled': https://docs.stripe.com/connect/handling-api-verification#determine-if-verification-is-needed

If I was to use destination charges, then would I only have to check that charges_enabled is true?

[cursive sentinel]

charges_enabled isn't really relevant in those instances as the platform is processing the payment

payouts_enabled and having the transfers capability enabled is more relevant

[lean swallow]

is the transfers capability enabled needed if I am going to use destination charges?

and can the platform take payments and send a part of that to an express account even if payouts_enabled is false on the express account?

[cursive sentinel]

Yes, becuase you transfer funds from your platform to the connected account (the destination)

[cursive sentinel]

I think so, but you'd need to test and confirm
