Hello! No, you can't specify a payout bank account for a specific Payment Intent. What you can do is put whatever you want in metadata on the Payment Intent, then use manual Payouts to send the right amounts to the right places.
You can specify a destination when you create a manual Payout: https://docs.stripe.com/api/payouts/create#create_payout-destination

Thank you - that's helpful. With manual payouts, would our software manage the schedule of the payouts? I.e., we send a payout request on a schedule managed on our end.
tame plaza
Yes, see here for details: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/manual-payouts

Thank you. Is there anything stopping us from having our customer set up a separate merchant account with their other bank account? Then, in our integration, we direct payments to the correct merchant account...

You mean a single person would have two different Stripe accounts connected to your platform, each with a different bank account?
quick mulch
Essentially. Our customers are businesses, not individual people, but yes.
tame plaza
That should be fine at a technical level, yeah.
quick mulch
thanks again.
