hey there. hmm. basically i want to make something like Minnect.

eternal coral
#

I don't know what's minnect unfortunately

leaden sonnet
#

its like a website where you pay people for advice, and when they give you advice you pay them

#

so you are saying i can do something like the above with this? Or do you think there is another way?

#

Because I don't want people to get scammed and be given bad advice for example

eternal coral
#

you can do something like the above with what I just mentioned, you need to be aware of the time limitations though.

leaden sonnet
#

that is why i was thinking put the funds in escrow until the customer is satisfied

#

hmm so maybe trigger a job where it fires after the meeting between customer and connect account?

#

But the customer would need to somehow say that they were satisfied

#

Otherwise perhaps an ethereum smart contract may be the way to go with this...

eternal coral
#

You'll want to consider how your business model should operate. It's not something we can advise on unfortunately

leaden sonnet
#

well, i use stripe, i would like to remain with stripe with this particular new use case i want to build

eternal coral
#

sure, we can help if you have specific questions on how Stripe operates / works, but how you determine your customer is satisfied isn't Stripe-specific

leaden sonnet
#

true, i will figure that part out. So in your example above, is there a way to specify a date to move the funds?

eternal coral
#

there's no way to specify a specific date though. You can do a cron job in your server if you really want to

leaden sonnet
#

ah, because each date will be different depending on the stripe connect user schedule

#

and when the 2 parties meet with each other

eternal coral
#

Manual payouts allow you to create a pay out whenever you want. The caveat is that the payout is created when you make the request, and you can't specify a future date. This seems like what you're looking for. Do you have specific concerns here?

leaden sonnet
#

oh so i can trigger the payout after the 2 parties meet for example? Like when a zoom meeting ends for example, send the payout?

eternal coral
#

yes, that's correct

leaden sonnet
#

oh okay, that might work maybe

#

Are there any webhooks associated with this I would need?

eternal coral
#

whether you need webhooks, depend on what you're trying to achieve and the data you need

#

so you'll need to tell me what information you're looking for, then I can tell you if there're any webhooks that fit your needs

leaden sonnet
#

i am not sure right now, just trying to plan in my head what this system will look like. Like if there would be any common webhooks to use in this scenario

eternal coral
#

I'll suggest that you plan out the system, then come back again when you know the information you need. We can advise you further at that point

leaden sonnet
#

okay thanks for the help so far with this

#

another question, would it be possible to pay a connect user by the minute?

eternal coral
#

paying by the minute is essentially you calculating how much to charge for the total time

leaden sonnet
#

okay, that is what i figured

#

thank you

#

ah i just thought of another thing that i want clarification on.

#

Am I allowed to do this? Pay a connect user for every time a customer buys one of their products. But then also pay that same connect id every time someone sends them a tip. Am I allowed to use the same connect id for these operations. Or would I need a separate connect id?

eternal coral
#

the same Connect account can be used

leaden sonnet
#

perfect, thank you. Because I was told at one point an affiliate marketer would require a separate connect id compared to someone who sells product on my site

#

Right?

eternal coral
#

who told you this?

leaden sonnet
#

someone else who works at stripe on this channel

#

Because they are 2 different jobs, right?

#

different tax purposes i guess

eternal coral
#

do you still have the link to that discussion? There's probably some background context which I'm not aware of

leaden sonnet
#

i would have to look

#

but basically the use case is this: A teacher connect id that sells educational content on my site and gets a percentage from sale. Then an affiliate connect id that just shares link to my site on social media and if someone makes a payment from that link, the affiliate marketer gets a reward.

eternal coral
#

I don't think it's for tax specifically, but more about what the connected account is for / selling. I don't really have the necessary expertise to advise about this, you'll want to reach out to Stripe Support to find out more - https://support.stripe.com/contact,
