👋 Welcome to your new thread!

⏲️ We'll be here soon! We typically respond in a few minutes, but in some cases we might need a bit more time (e.g., server's busy, you've got a complex question, etc.).

⏱️ We close idle threads, which makes them read-only. Once a thread is closed it won't be reopened, but you can start a new thread if you have another question.

🔗 This thread will always be available, even after it's closed. You can find it again using Discord's search, or you can save this link: https://discord.com/channels/841573134531821608/1247199484019216496

Hello

#

It isn't possible to force payouts to be disabled via the API

#

Instead, if you want to prevent payouts you would switch the Connected Account to being on manual payouts via: https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/update#update_account-settings-payouts-schedule

#

If we changed them to manual payouts, the account would still technically be able to get their payout through stripe. What workaround is there to prevent this on our end?

#

What type of Connected Accounts are you working with here?

tawdry wyvern Jun 3, 2024, 2:50 PM

#

We want to add this because when someones payment fails for their subscription invoice, we want to provide incentives for paying that bill

#

We use Express connected accounts

signal orbit Jun 3, 2024, 2:51 PM

#

Yeah so you can't trigger your own payouts when using Express Accounts

#

The platform controls when the payout occurs

#

So as I stated above, the way to do this is to flip them to manual payouts

tawdry wyvern Jun 3, 2024, 2:52 PM

#

Is the reasoning why we can't pause payouts on our end because they're on an express account?

#

Just wondering why this isn't allowed to be changed via API

signal orbit Jun 3, 2024, 2:53 PM

#

It just wasn't built that way

#

That functionality just doesn't exist in the API

tawdry wyvern Jun 3, 2024, 2:53 PM

#

https://docs.stripe.com/connect/pausing-payments-or-payouts-on-connected-accounts

#

So it can only be done through the dashboard currently?

signal orbit Jun 3, 2024, 2:54 PM

#

Yes

#

I believe there has already been a feature request filed to add this functinoality to the API

#

I can double check on that and note your interest as well

#

But right now it is Dashboard-only and the way to handle this via the API is to switch to manual payouts

tawdry wyvern Jun 3, 2024, 2:55 PM

#

Yes that would be great, okay good to know

#

Will keep a note of this and will look back in the future to see if it's available
