Hi 👋 is this a new integration you're building? We no longer recommend creating Charges directly, and I would advise against using this approach if this is a new integration you're building.
torn frost
i am just try to add fund in my balance
i ma usyign in test mode to test everything is working
and payout to shoveller
sly pasture
The problem with the code you shared is that you aren't passing a Source to the source field, you're trying to pass a raw card number.
sly pasture
You need to change this line:
source: '4000000000000077', // Test card to add funds
and pass it an actual object rather than a test card number. That field can accept several different types of IDs as mentioned in our description of that parameter:
https://docs.stripe.com/api/charges/create#create_charge-source
I believe it'll work if you pass it one of the Token IDs listed here:
https://docs.stripe.com/testing?testing-method=tokens#available-balance
torn frost
docs are realy confusing for me can you give me the code ?
sly pasture
Can you help me understand what's confusing about them? I'd be happy to recommend changes to our team to make them easier to parse. Do you see the Token IDs in the section I linked to?
This value:
tok_bypassPending
torn frost
const charge = await stripe.charges.create({
amount: 1099,
currency: 'usd',
source: 'tok_visa',
});
will this work?
sly pasture
Yes, but the funds won't be available immediately since you aren't using the tok_bypassPending to bypass the pending balance step. The Token ID I shared is the one that maps to the test card number you were using in your initial message.
torn frost
const charge = await stripe.charges.create({
amount: 1099,
currency: 'usd',
source: 'tok_bypassPending', // Bypasses the pending balance step in test mode
});
is it okay now>
?
sly pasture
Looks good, what do you see when you run that?
torn frost
Yeah it is working

Thank you Toby
really means a lot
sly pasture
Any time!
torn frost
will this balance will be avaiale in my test account?
sly pasture
Yes, that is the purpose of the test cards that bypass the pending balance step. Do you see it reflected when you retrieve your balance?
https://docs.stripe.com/api/balance/balance_retrieve
torn frost
can i see it in the stripe dashboard?
sly pasture
Maybe? We focus on helping developers leverage our API, I'm not as familiar with the dashboard side of these flows.

balance is avaialable and when i try to payout to shoveller it throughs error insufficeint balance why?
sly pasture
Alright, lets try to straighten out some terminology here so we're all aligned. The request you shared is trying to make a Transfer (moving funds from one Stripe account to another Stripe account) rather than a Payout (moving funds from a Stripe account's balance to their associated bank account/debit card).
Now let me see if I can spot why that error may be getting thrown.
{
"amount": 1375,
"currency": "cad",
"source_types": {
"card": 1375
}
}```
Your available balance is a `cad` balance, but your request to create a Transfer is trying to transfer a `usd` balance.
https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_pY9oR4Ca3msYvkAn error is thrown because you don't have a sufficient usd balance to cover that Transfer.
torn frost
Alright, lets try to straighten out some terminology here so we're all aligned. ...
please check this then
sly pasture
What about it, what are you trying to ask?
torn frost
i have webhook as well
payout.paid
payout.created...
if the shvoeller completed the job we will send his payment into his account. i have implemneted webhook for htis to keep track yeah we have send money to this shoveller
sly pasture
I'm still not sure I understand what you're trying to ask.
Those Event types will be triggered by Payout objects:
https://docs.stripe.com/api/payouts/object
Which is a distinct object type from the Transfer that you create with this line:
const payout = await stripe.transfers.create({
https://docs.stripe.com/api/transfers/object
torn frost

can you tell me one more thing
in my database i am storing paymeent in usd
so how can i send him in cad?
because i have payment in cad avaiable
sly pasture
You adjust the currency that you provide when making your request to create a Transfer. Currently you have:
const payout = await stripe.transfers.create({
amount: job.paymentInfo.amount, // Make sure the amount is in the smallest currency unit (e.g., cents)
currency: 'usd',
destination: shoveller.stripeAccountId, // Use the stripeAccountId from User model
});```
So you're telling us to transfer `usd` funds from your platform account to your connected account. If you want to transfer `cad` instead you'd adjust the value you're providing to the `currency` parameter.You're using a Canadian Stripe account, so funds that settle on that account will settle in cad.
torn frost
I'm still not sure I understand what you're trying to ask.
Those Event types wi...
here i ma just asking is there any webhook event which i can listen i have transfer the payment to this shovller
one more thing that i thing i should have to tell you is that i am using stripe oauth connect. allowing shovller to connect his existing account with out platform.
and i will have there stripeaccountId which i will use to transhfer payment into his account if he earn any amount of money.
so the question is is htere nay webhyook evenet which i can listen whnerver i transhfer payment into shoveller account?
bccause i want to update the job status
sly pasture
There is no need to use webhook Events for Transfers. The request you make to create the Transfer provides immediate feedback on whether it succeeded.
(Unless you're using the source_transaction parameter, which I don't see in the code you provided)
torn frost
You're using a Canadian Stripe account, so funds that settle on that account wil...
when clinet post the job i'm accepting payment in usd
according to you i need to accept the payment in cad
isn't it:?
const Checkout = async (req, res) => {
try {
const { amount, jobId } = req.body; // Get jobId from request body
// Convert amount to cents
const amountInCents = amount; // Assuming amount is already in cents
// Create a checkout session with manual capture
const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
payment_method_types: ['card'],

const updatedJob = await Job.findByIdAndUpdate(

res.status(500).send({ error: error.message });

do i need to chnage my checkout page?
sly pasture
You are setting usd as the presentment currency, but when the payment settles on your account it will settle in cad.
https://docs.stripe.com/currencies?presentment-currency=CA#presentment-currencies
torn frost
what do you mean when i accept payment thourgh stirpe checkout page in usd
it will be conveted into cad?
sly pasture
Yup
torn frost
oh i see
sly pasture
That's why the usd Charge you procesed earlier in our discussion didn't give you a usd balance to work with, instead it settled in cad and that was reflected in your available balance.
torn frost
when houseoner post the job at the same time we ask him for the payment and we store payment in usd in the database.
so when the shoveller complete the job how can i send him payment in cad.
suppose the job was 30$.
how can i send the shoveller equivelelnt 30$ in cad
sly pasture
That is kind of up to you. Do you want to source your own exchange rates, or do you want to use the exchange rate we used?
torn frost
can i repeat
30$ --> price for the job
platform charges will be 20%
and rest of money will be send to shoveller in cad
we want to use exchange rate that stirpe used
how can i do that??
sly pasture
Okay, if you want to use our exchange rate, then you'll need to look at the Balance Transaction object associated with the Payment Intent's Charge.
You can use the latest_charge field on the Payment Intent to find the ID of the associated Charge object:
https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_intents/object#payment_intent_object-latest_charge
Then the balance_transaction field on the Charge object contains the ID of the associated Balance Transaction object:
https://docs.stripe.com/api/charges/object#charge_object-balance_transaction
The Balance Transaction object has an exchange_rate field where we store the exchange rate that we used if a currency conversion occurred during settlement:
https://docs.stripe.com/api/balance_transactions/object#balance_transaction_object-exchange_rate
torn frost
const transferToShoveller = async (job) => {
try {
const totalAmount = job.price; // 30 USD (amount you stored)
const platformFee = 0.20 * totalAmount; // 20% platform charge
const amountForShoveller = totalAmount - platformFee; // Amount to be sent to the shoveller
// Transfer the payout to the shoveller in CAD
const payout = await stripe.transfers.create({
amount: Math.round(amountForShoveller * 100), // amount in cents (e.g., 2400 for 24.00 USD)
currency: 'cad', // Set the currency to CAD for the shoveller
destination: job.shoveller.stripeAccountId, // Use the shoveller's Stripe account ID
});
console.log('Transfer successful:', payout);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error transferring to shoveller:', error.message);
}
};
will this code work?
sly pasture
Does it work when you run it? Do you see the result you're expecting?
It looks like you're using the right currency, but I don't see any currency conversion logic in there to make use of our exchange rate.
torn frost
const transferToShoveller = async (job) => {
try {
const totalAmount = job.price; // 30 USD (amount you stored)
const platformFee = 0.20 * totalAmount; // 20% platform charge
const amountForShovellerUSD = totalAmount - platformFee; // Amount to be sent to the shoveller in USD
// Retrieve the Payment Intent using the stripeSessionId stored in the job
const paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.retrieve(job.stripeSessionId);
// Get the latest charge from the Payment Intent
const charge = await stripe.charges.retrieve(paymentIntent.latest_charge);
// Get the balance transaction associated with the charge
const balanceTransaction = await stripe.balanceTransactions.retrieve(charge.balance_transaction);
// Get the exchange rate used by Stripe
const exchangeRate = balanceTransaction.exchange_rate;
// Convert the amount to CAD using Stripe's exchange rate
const amountForShovellerCAD = amountForShovellerUSD * exchangeRate;
// Transfer the payout to the shoveller in CAD
const payout = await stripe.transfers.create({
amount: Math.round(amountForShovellerCAD * 100), // amount in cents (e.g., 2400 for 24.00 CAD)

});
console.log('Transfer successful:', payout);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error transferring to shoveller:', error.message);
}
};
will this work?
sly pasture
Does it work when you run it? Do you see the result you're expecting?
There's a lot of variables in there that are unknown to me, so it's hard for me to say for sure.
torn frost
let me check i haven't run it.
sly pasture
Like if job.stripeSessionId is the ID of a Checkout Session, then no it won't work.
torn frost
yes it is
sly pasture
Then no, that won't work, and you should encounter an error when you run it.
You can't retrieve a Payment Intent using the ID of a Checkout Session. You will need to get the ID of the associated Payment Intent from the Checkout Session object's payment_intent field:
https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/object#checkout_session_object-payment_intent

pi_3Q5ofpRvOCLWc0jZ1dXSJcXp
are you talking about this id?
sly pasture
That is the ID of a Payment Intent. You can tell by the pi_ prefix.
iron spokeBOT

not able to understand what do you means
sly pasture
I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to ask. The ID you shared, pi_3Q5ofpRvOCLWc0jZ1dXSJcXp, is the ID of a Payment Intent object.
torn frost
when houseonwner post the job i store his stripesessionID and i am using webhook to soterpaymentintedID as well

req_2bfZHJCzoZRSns
rigid umbra
Is that balance from your platform account or the connected account?
The balance shown in your screenshot above I mean?
I think it's probably the connected account's balance, not your platform's balance. You're trying to move money from your platform's balance to a connected account, which means your platform's available balance has to have enough funds to cover funds being moved.

The successful response from the Transfer creation request should be all you need. A Transfer from one Stripe account to another like this happens immediately.
We do have transfer.created Events, but they're not going to tell you anything you don't already get in the response.
