That's a charge id

Charges either start with ch_ or py_

So you can use this endpoint https://docs.stripe.com/api/charges/update

[jaunty inlet]

🤦 i didn't specify the connectedAccountID

so it was looking at my main account

i'm sorry for the absolutly idiot q

can you at least validate this flow:

• I check to see if i've added metadata on the charge of the correction, IF not, i issue a transfer FROM the connected account back to the main account and update the charge w/ the audit information

[nova steppe]

Sorry what part do you need me to validate?

[jaunty inlet]

Does what I'm proposing make sense and seem reasonable?

[nova steppe]

Yeah that makes sense to me

[jaunty inlet]

hmm, is there a way for me to reflect the transfer back in the Payment Breakdown?

[nova steppe]

What do you mean

[jaunty inlet]

On the custom connect account, for the paymetn I see this:

with a fee on there then the net amount.

with the reversal of some of the net amount, is there a way this can be updated?

so it's super clear what is happening

Hi there 👋 jumping in as my teammate needs to step away.

[jaunty inlet]

hi Toby 🙂 Thank you!

[regal terrace]

Can you tell me where you're seeing that? My teammates and I in this forum specialize in helping developers work with our APIs, so I'm not as familiar with the UI you're showing and can't place it offhand. It being so heavily cropped makes it harder for me to guess about what you're showing there.

[jaunty inlet]

ahh i'm sorry.

https://dashboard.stripe.com/connect/accounts/acct_1PkTaL2UTQ9bHHLH/payments/py_1PpquK2UTQ9bHHLHkRXSM3m7

It's on a custom account page, on the charge that is associated with that custom account.

I see the entire payment there, with the breakdown showing the existing fee, the charge amount and then the net amount going to the custom connect account.

maybe the better way would be updating the application_fee on the charge object vs doing this transfer.

i'm just trying to make sure I am doing things in a way for audit purposes

[regal terrace]

You can't update the application fee after the payment has been processed, I'm pretty sure.

That page is a page that only you will be able to view, and unfortunately I'm not sure how the Payment breakdown section is populated. I'm seeing it include a payment amount and a stripe fee on one of my test payments.

If you populate the metadata parameter on the Charge object, that should be visible in the Metadata section further down on that page.

[jaunty inlet]

perfect, that's what my initial route was, just wanted to make sure there wasn't a better path to go.

Thank you so much again for all the help, I truly appreciate it!

[regal terrace]

Any time! Happy to help

[jaunty inlet]

I'm sorry one more thing..

Can i create a transfer FROM a custom connected account back to the main account this way?

const transfer = await stripe.transfers.create(
                {
                    amount: amount,
                    currency: 'usd',
                    description: 'Fee adjustment transfer from connected account to main account',
                    metadata
                },
                {
                    stripeAccount: connectedAccountId
                }
            );

or should this be a reversal off the initial transfer into that account?

hmm nope i don't think it should be a reversal.. just need to look at the syntax for transfering back.

[regal terrace]

Debiting from a Connected Account in that fashion has some restrictions and limitations to be mindful of, discussed here:
https://docs.stripe.com/connect/account-debits#transferring-from-a-connected-account

A transfer reversal may be easier/better depending on the outcome you're after. You can use testmode to test both approaches out and see which better fits your needs.

[jaunty inlet]

yep perfect, i caught the error prior to any of the funds transfering off.
