What have you tried? What hasn't worked? But yes, you utilise the Transfer API to facilitate moving funds between Stripe account balances

I've tried using transfer_group to group funds that should be transfered to a seller once they onboard. Once their capabilities are enabled, my webhook picks up on that event and transfers it to their Stripe Balance and stage it for a scheduled payout. But I'm unsure if this is best practice.

When a buyer creates a reservation, I create an uncaptured payment intent that the seller can confirm should they accept.

I see a field called on_behalf_of I'm not sure if that is relevant to my case?

Sounds good! Yep, transfer_group is a field you can use to reconsile multiple payments with a single business transaction (i.e. one order). It's for your audit/records, doesn't offer any functionality at our end

I see a field called on_behalf_of I'm not sure if that is relevant to my case?
Likely not, depends really on who you want the Merchant of Record to be – the platform or the conncted account?

I see thanks! Could you explain what Merchant of Record is for?

#

Or point me to a doc I can read, that works too

And a few more questions:

  1. If I create a Transfer, but their capabilities are not enabled—that would just fail right? No other side effects?

  2. Can I create a single Transfer to send all funds within a transfer_group all at once? Or do I have to create multiple Transfers?

  3. Can I fetch the sum of all amounts under a certain transfer_group to display to my sellers?

No it'd still succeed. Their account still can accumulate a balance I think, they just can't pay it out to a bank account

Can I create a single Transfer to send all funds within a transfer_group all at once? Or do I have to create multiple Transfers?
No as explained that fields is just for your tracking/audit purposes. There is no functionality like that in our API

Can I fetch the sum of all amounts under a certain transfer_group to display to my sellers?
Not via our API, you'd need to build that

Should be easy enough for you to test 🙂

#

(create an account, try and transfer a balance)

autumn jetty
#

Yeah I can do that haha.

Should it fail, is there a similar field I can use to label payment intents or invoices?

soft ridge
#

AFAIK, the transfer capability is not required to receive transfers but I could be wrong

#

Not sure what you mean

autumn jetty
#

If I can't accumalate funds in their Connect Balance, I'll need to keep track of which payments should be owed to the seller—so I can transfer when they enable capabilities. I can maintain records on my own database, but just wondering if there was a way to keep it all on Stripe.

soft ridge
#

Probably via metadata I guess

autumn jetty
#

I can query for Payment Intents or Invoices based on metadata?
