Hi 👋
The situation you are describing fits with the Separate Charge and Transfers funds flow.
In this situation you create the Payment Intent on your Platform account and then, whenever the conditions you need are met, you separately create a Transfer to send some portion of the funds to the Connected Account.
Please read through the doc ad let me know if you have any specific questions about how this works.

the amount paid from the customer is temporary transferred to my bank or stay in stripe until I want to transfer?
potent adder
That depends on how you have set up payouts for your Stripe account and how long you plan to wait between the payment and the transfer.
If you pay the entire Stripe Balance to your platform account every day AND it takes longer than 24 hours between the Payment and the Transfer, then you will likely need to move money from your bank to your Stripe account
glacial crow
also in the separate charge I have to specify the connected account id that will receive the payment later
glacial crow
so the all payments of all customers received are in my main platform account?
potent adder
Yes and it's up to you to keep track of what money goes to what connected accounts
glacial crow
is it possible to assign each payment to the specific connected account (host) without transfer immediately but afer 2 or 3 days?
potent adder
No, that is something your integration would need to manage. You can save metadata to each Payment Intent that indicates both the account to transfer the funds to and how much to send.

thanks, but the host sell a service and the gest buy it, why do you suggest to use separate charge instead destination charge, in the documentation I read that separate charge is for single shopping cart for goods sold by multiple businesses
I have a host that sell a single service each time
potent adder
I suggest this approach because this is the only way you can delay the transfer of funds
You cannot split up the transfer using Destination Charges
potent adder
Correct

thank you Snufkin
