Hi, soma. It's something Stripe calls the amount they withhold for about 2 months before releasing it. It's set aside for disputes and whatnot

oh you mean the connect reserve? https://support.stripe.com/questions/reserves-for-connect-platforms-and-connected-accounts
sonic parrot
Perhaps, I'm not sure without reading it. Can I find out what the "connect reserve" amount is for a payout using the payout id?
It does seem like that's what I'm talking about, yes
cyan plume
it's not related to a payout ID, it's related to a Stripe account. if you are the platform account, you can find it by looking at your balance: https://docs.stripe.com/api/balance/balance_retrieve

Hmm. I had the opportunity to look at our customer's Stripe account with a colleague yesterday. We searched up the payout and it listed "Reserved funds" taken out of that specific payout
That means I have to account for the missing amount when I send it to the accounting software
I need what was set aside on each payout so I can make the amount balance out to 0 when I send it to the accounting software
Apparently, these are transactions(?) with IDs that start with ch_
In Stripe, it says "Held reserved funds for ch_3P9oCTAyyYQwWCsZ2FTF5Myb"
and then gives the amount (in this case 140.09 NOK)
I have to get that amount somehow, lol
cyan plume
this is a regular payment, I'm still not sure what you mean by "Reserved funds".
so is your goal to find all payment assosicated with a payout?
if so, this is explained here: https://docs.stripe.com/expand/use-cases#charges-in-payout

Ok, I'll read up on the links you provided. Thanks for guiding me
cyan plume
happy to help 🙂
sonic parrot
Hmm. So I am stuck with the tools I have at make.com and I could probably use the Stripe Shell and CLI (which are both completely new to me) to do some testing; but I'm used to making API calls to endpoints in a different way. I don't know how to translate what I'm reading in the use case link you provided. Do you have any pointers for me to help me understand?
The end product (our integration, our "scenario" in Make.com") is where the action has to happen, so I'm trying to use that to get at information
cyan plume
use "curl" in the dropdown to see tha actual API request:

Found what I needed. Thank you for your assistance and have a lovely weekend!
cyan plume
awesome, thanks 🙂
