hello! how can I help?
I want help with transferring funds from 1 connected account to another connected account
sharp hinge
Can you elaborate more on your business model? I'd imagine that the customer would make payment, and the funds are transferred to the connected accounts (freelancer). Why would there be a need to transfer funds from one connected account to another connected account?
next fulcrum
my business model is, user adds money to the wallet that money is added so stripe[owner of stripe account, not the freelancer], then when user withdraws the amount he gets his money back.
sharp hinge
Who is the user in this case? Why / what would the user add money to the wallet for?

Who is the `user` in this case? Why / what would the `user` add money to the wal...
to pay the freelancers, once he pays the freelancer, the freelancer can withdraw that amount, works both ways.
sharp hinge
so is the user actually the Customer ? Where the Customer is paying for a service by the freelancer?
next fulcrum
right, all the transactions are actually happening in form of coins, when the user/customer is adding the money to his wallet, it is added in form of coins, and then that coin is transferred to freelancer, which he can withdraw later by that freelancer.

You can't transfer funds between two connected accounts. Payment for the services is fairly straightfoward, either use direct charges, or destination charges depending on your use case - https://docs.stripe.com/connect/charges#types. The funds will automatically be transferred to the freelancer connected account.

no, I think I misunderstood it, we are not transferring between connected accounts, we are transferring from stripe balance to connected account, when we are taking the money we are using your gateway and money is stored in stripe balance, when the vendor[freelancer] request for release of payment using API, we intent to transfer the account from balance to vendor's account, for this purpose, we are creating the connected account for the vendor how ever we are not creating connected account for owner.
our business model is exactly like Upwork, where a person[client] finds a freelancer[vendor], get the work done and pay the amount to the vendor through us.
sharp hinge
are your freelancers based in the same region as your Stripe account? i.e. if your freelancers are based in the US, is your Stripe account also in the US?
next fulcrum
no not for US, its only for Canada
sharp hinge
so the freelancers are in CA, and your Stripe account is also in CA?
next fulcrum
yes, only for CA, freelancers are also only from CA, and stripe account is also in CA
sharp hinge
It sounds to me like Separate Charges and Transfers are what you're looking for? https://docs.stripe.com/connect/separate-charges-and-transfers
