Hi 👋
The transfer.created event is fired whenever a Transfer object is created. It does not necessarily mean the funds have transferred from the Platform account's Stripe balance to the Connected Account's Stripe balance.
If you wanted to track when the funds have hit the Connected Account's Stripe balance, you can listen to the balance.available event for each Connected Account.
https://docs.stripe.com/api/events/types#event_types-balance.available
But what I think you would want to do is check the transfer.destination_payment property
https://docs.stripe.com/api/transfers/object#transfer_object-destination_payment
This will have details on the actual payment to the Connected Account

Thanks for the answer! Would you recommend then polling the status of the destination payment until it's in a terminal state?
spark hemlock
Yup! Just be aware that you will need to pass the Connected Account ID in the stripe_account header when retrieving the payment.
I just tested this, creating a Transfer from my test Platform Account
The Transfer object exists on the Platform, but the Payment (py_XXXX) exists on the Connected Account
So first I created the transfer
transfer = stripe.Transfer.create(...)
payment = stripe.Charge.retrieve(transfer.destination_payment, stripe_account='acct_XXXXX')
Then the second line I retrieve the destination payment using the Charges API
dull flax
That sounds good. What are the terminal states of the payment?
spark hemlock
The Charge can only have 3 statuses, one of which is pending so the ones you want will either be succeeded or failed

Great 🎉 Happy to help 🙂
