How is this Funding instructions different from Payment intent?
and why do you recommend this?
lucid plaza
I'm not asking you to create Funding Instructions
I'm just telling you what the country does
basically when you create a Payment Intent which accepts bank transfer payments
we will display Funding Instructions to your customer
this is an underlying thing that we do that you don't have to worry about
but it's basically the same underlying functionality so I thought it would help you understand what the country field is for
west goblet
aha okay thank you for clarification that makes sense. So basically you mean to that the country object in "eu_bank_transfer " is related to merchant not the customer, right?
lucid plaza
aha okay thank you for clarification that makes sense. So basically you mean to ...
basically the country param will define what iban country we tell your customer to send the money to

okay so it doesn't matter if my business is registered in switzerland and i pass the country object value any of the permitted values? my target customer is also from switzerland. So in that case which of these values should i use BE, DE, ES, FR, IE, or NL?
west goblet
okay thanks that makes sense to me now.
lucid plaza
if you choose FR for example then the customer will see a french IBAN that they need to send the money to
if you choose IE => Ireland etc.

will the stripe create any special reference for payment so they can include in when making transfers? i mean while displaying Funding Instructions to your customer will it include the reference details etc which we can use later on to verify paymet.
and next question is that can we save this data and show everytime that same customer wants to pay or we need to create separate funding instructions everytime same customer wants to pay?

you don't have to worry about this by default Stripe attempts to automatically reconcile https://docs.stripe.com/payments/bank-transfers/accept-a-payment?payment-ui=direct-api#handling-multiple-open-payments-or-invoices
and next question is that can we save this data and show everytime that same customer wants to pay or we need to create separate funding instructions everytime same customer wants to pay?
you just need to create new payment intents
we will handle the rest
west goblet
Thanks thats very much clear now.

The doc says 1000 virtual bank account numbers (VBANs) so it means we can have only 1000 customers to show the iban, can we use same virtual bank account number to any other customer?
