Hey soma!
Sure thanks!
clever estuary
this is a destination charge, so it uses the settings on your platform. did you enable bacs on your account?
harsh moon
Hmmm. I did not. my mistake.
Thought I dont see this option for my platform
clever estuary
Bacs is only available for Stripe accounts in the UK https://docs.stripe.com/payments/payment-methods/bacs-debit
so you would need to use Direct Charge with a connected account in the UK for this to work
you can learn more about this here: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/direct-charges
harsh moon
Hmm, ok I will try that thanks!
So all in all it looks the same but without the destination param
clever estuary
no it's very different. first you have to use the Stripe-Account header, then it's the connected account that becomes the merchant of record and has to pay the Stripe fee and handle disputes/refunds.
changing from desitnation charges to direct charge has many impact, so make sure to read the documentation thoroughly.
harsh moon
Hmm wow. ok thanks will take a look more thoroughly
it works with custom connected accounts?
clever estuary
no we don't recommend Direct Charge with Custom accounts.
it's technically possible, but it would mean building your own UI to let the custom accounts handle refunds, disputes, and so on.
harsh moon
Hmm, got it. Ok I will check it with our Stripe rep.
Thank you!
clever estuary
happy to help 🙂

Hey sorry still the same question.
from here I see that platforms outside can still use destination charges but need to request it?
https://docs.stripe.com/payments/payment-methods/bacs-debit#request-capability
modest apex
That's if your connected accounts are in UK and you use direct charge afaik
but we don't recommend using direct charges with custom accounts as soma mentioned
harsh moon
Ah, so the destination charges is only for UK platforms?
modest apex
Yup
