Hi there, I believe your question is more about payout failures, and this doc would help you https://support.stripe.com/questions/managing-connect-payout-failures

hi Jack, my question has nothing to do with Payouts. It's about Transfers.
drifting jacinth
Ok, then how do you let your connected account to delete their account?
molten vigil
The user can add or delete multiple Connected accounts on my site (they see them all on a page that shows them in a list). There will be just 1 default account that will be the one used to send transfers. They have the option to delete any of their accounts at any time.
drifting jacinth
OK, did you check their balance before deleting them? for reference, you can't delete an account if their balances are not zero. https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/delete
molten vigil
yes I'm aware of that...
this scenario would be in a case where they have a zero balence.
drifting jacinth
Since your users can only delete their accounts through your platform, you can implement something to disable account delete option if they have only only account with you.

Your question is about what happen if there's no account to send the transfer to, I believe the most effective way to solve this problem to ensure there's always an account available
molten vigil
no! my question is about what conditions are important to look for when creating a transfer.
specifically "CapabilityTransfers" and "PayoutsEnabled", should these conditions be "active" and "true" in order for me to ensure a successful transfer?
ex. If I want to transfer $10 to a Connected Account, should I make sure the account has a "CapabillitiesTransfers" status of "active"?
should I also ensure taht "PayoutsEnabled" is "true"?
or should I not sorry about the state of either of these 2 properties and just try and send over the $10.
this is a question about best practives
*practices
drifting jacinth
Not necessary, you can still perform a transfer to a connected account even though its payout_enabled is false. But I don't think it's a good practice because the connected account can't payout the funds.
Does this answer your question?
molten vigil
no. I'm aware you can still send a transfer to an account that has payout_enabled set to false. What about CapabillitiesTransfers? What if the state is not active? Is this state that can be changed to active by the user editing some of his account info and resubmitting it? More specifically, what changes the state of CapabilitiesTransfers?
