Hi, let me help you with this.
Are you charging and transfering funds in 2 separate steps?
civic hollow
nope its same, i made an endpoint /payout in which i first check stripe balance and then transfer the request amout to user connect account and then use stripe.payout to drop the balance into his bank
versed ether
That's transfer and payout to the connected account, but I was asking about charging the customer and transfering to the connected account.
civic hollow
im not transfering to user connect account i maintain the wallet local keep all the money into stripe and when withdraw i transfer that amount
i used this approach because in our application we can distributes money from one user to another so i thought its best to keep the the amount in one place stripe and when they request for withdraw transfer it to there connect account
versed ether
and when they request for withdraw transfer it to there connect account
So, as I asked, you charge the customer first, and then, at a different time, you transfer it to the connected account, separately, correct?
civic hollow
yes
versed ether
Ok. In order to transfer a pending amount to the connected account balance, you can use the transfer_group parameter: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/separate-charges-and-transfers?platform=web&ui=stripe-hosted#transfer-options
However, in any case, it can't be paid out while it's pending, regardless of whether it's on the Platform or transfered to the Connected account

civic creek
what is the issue exactly
civic hollow
okay let me explain about our app and what is my approach so far
our app is about where a user create a task a for some money and a service provider complete the task
i maintain local wallet in db for each user when they have to topup the amount i use stripe.charge and put balance into stripe and update there wallet in db
the problem comes when the service provider complete the task i transfer money from user local wallet to service provider wallet and now he has to withdraw that amount but stripe show that balance is low because the amout is in pending now availabe which will take 7 days i need to transfer the amount into his service provider connect account from stripe but because of this i cant
civic creek
civic hollow

civic creek
