Hello

#

Can you clarify a bit here? You want to charge an end-customer for your Connected Account user but then have those funds paid out to a different 3rd party vendor?

ocean osprey Apr 22, 2024, 2:41 PM

#

Hi,
so, we have a seller with a Connected account on our platform. This seller receives payment from the customers. Periodically, this seller has to pay fees to its vendors.

#

Ah okay, the way to accomplish this would be to use Stripe Treasury: https://docs.stripe.com/treasury

Overview of Stripe Treasury

Learn about the Stripe Treasury API.

#

The vendor is not a third-party but rather has a Customer or Connected account on our platform

#

https://docs.stripe.com/connect/account-debits
https://docs.stripe.com/connect/subscriptions#connected-account-platform

I was looking into debit

Debit connected accounts

Collect funds from a connected account by debiting its Stripe balance.

Create subscriptions with Stripe Billing

With Connect, you can create subscriptions for your customers or connected accounts.

agile kindle Apr 22, 2024, 2:44 PM

#

If they are a Connected Account of yours, then you could charge your own Connected Account then transfer to that other Connected Account

#

And yes, Account Debits would work for that

ocean osprey Apr 22, 2024, 2:44 PM

#

can the vendor account be a non-Connected account?

agile kindle Apr 22, 2024, 2:45 PM

#

No

ocean osprey Apr 22, 2024, 2:46 PM

#

ok. Can we generate invoice to the seller's Connected account 'on-behalf-of' the vendor's Connected account?

agile kindle Apr 22, 2024, 2:48 PM

#

No you can't make "grandfather" requests

#

You can only make requests that deal directly with your own Connected Account.

#

Nor two of your Connected Accounts -- they would have to be Connected to each other and then the one that is the platform is the only one that can initiate requests

ocean osprey Apr 22, 2024, 2:50 PM

#

so, as a platform account, we can debit the money from the seller's Connected Account and then transfer the money to the vendor's Connected account?

agile kindle Apr 22, 2024, 2:52 PM

#

Yes that works if the vendor account is in the same region as your platform

#

As you would be using https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges-transfers to send those funds to that Connected Account

Create separate charges and transfers

Create charges on your platform account and transfer funds to multiple connected accounts.

#

thank you, @agile kindle

agile kindle Apr 22, 2024, 2:57 PM

#

Sure

ocean osprey Apr 22, 2024, 2:57 PM

#

how does the Treasury solution work? Is it for transferring funds to external accounts that are not on Stripe platform?

agile kindle Apr 22, 2024, 3:00 PM

#

Yeah pretty much

#

You would want to look through those docs I provided

ocean osprey Apr 22, 2024, 3:00 PM

#

yes
