I'm asking because I want to know if it's even feasible

we dont have that much stripe related code, basically only the stuff above

but how do we deal with existing standard accounts?

[sharp oar]

hi! you can't really change existing account types, so if you're going to have both types of account under your platform you'd have to handle that. Or you could ask the existing users to visit your onboarding and create new Express accounts (a Stripe 'user' can have multiple accounts, of both Standard and Express, and switch between them)

[livid grail]

Right, ok! That makes sense. thanks. Then I just have one more question... is it possible to set payout to manual on standard accounts, and then let them initiate a payout to their external bank account via our own platform? And is it also possible to regulate the size of the payout? Perhaps on a per-payment-basis?

I'm asking because we're building a PMS, not a regular store merchant type service, so their customers can reserve accommodations 6 months in advance

and maybe they want to refund 3 months in

for that to be posssible, our connected partner needs to have some funds available for that to be a smooth process

[sharp oar]

not for Standard accounts no, they control their own payout settings

[livid grail]

Always? isn't it automatic by default?

[sharp oar]

not sure what you mean. automatic daily payouts is the default for all accounts yes. Standard accounts(which are just normal Stripe accounts like your own) can change that in the settings section of their Dashboard. For Express/Custom, the platform account(you) can change it for them via the API

[livid grail]

But you're saying it's not possible for us, upon creation of the connect account, to set the payout schedule to manual, and then expose some backend call via our client to allow them to initiate a payout to ext bank account?

Hmm alright

Is there any way to make that process more frictionless? or do they have to go to the stripe dashboard?

to achieve what i want above

[sharp oar]

totally possible if using Express or Custom accounts

[sharp oar]

Standard accounts have to, yes

[livid grail]

Alright! That's good to know, thanks a lot!
