hi
This is the api call request when i do from dashboard
But when I do the same on Account update api, it says unkown option risk_controls
pulsar lake
yes these are internal parameters. the parameters you can use are listed here: https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/update
one option would be to set the payout schedule to manual, and then don't create any payouts for that account: https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/update#update_account-settings-payouts-schedule
hushed ruin
ahh so there is no way to pause payouts via api?
pulsar lake
or disable the transfer capability: https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/update#update_account-capabilities-transfers

My use case is that I want the users to receive payments. But payouts are disabled until they verify themselves on my side.

👋 stepping in for soma here
Currently there is no way to explicitly pause payouts via the API -- you can only do that via the Dashboard
I do believe we want to add this to the API in the future as well but it is not available currently.
hushed ruin
is there a work around?
viscid tulip
The best way to go is indeed to set the payout schedule to manual
hushed ruin
i see
viscid tulip
Then you can hold the funds until you are ready to pay them out
hushed ruin
i thought manual means that they can login to their express account and MANUALLY initiate payouts
