Can you explain your use-case a bit more? Why do you need to payout from one connect account to another?
twin palm
hi, thanks. Yes, so we as the Platform Account want to allow our users to set up their own markeptlaces which means they will have their own vendors - so will need to schedule payments to them (eg marketplace will keep a fraction and pay the vendor x). Since we are the platform acocunt, they will both be our connect accounts
its a bit complex - i know
cyan wagon
Ok. I think you need to structure it differently then. If a marketplace has their own vendors, those vendors should be Connect accounts of your marketplaces not of your platform
That way you can create a direct charge on the connect account
And they can transfer funds to their connect accounts
twin palm
can a connect account have its own connect accounts?
cyan wagon
If it's a standard account
twin palm
They are custom atm
cyan wagon
Oh then no
twin palm
Is it impossible then? No other way to do it?
cyan wagon
You'd have to do separate charges and transfers
You can still specify the settlement merchant that way
twin palm
And we woudl be the merhcant on record though right? Unless we specify on behalf of
cyan wagon
You can specify on behalf of
twin palm
I guess that can work. And can we create delays in payment? Eg marketplace wants to pay vendors every 2nd of the month?
They would have to handle it themselves in that case right? Cause we can't schedule payments like these for them?
cyan wagon
They can't handle it themselves if they're custom accounts
You control the integration here
They don't have api access or dashboard access
cyan wagon
You can control when to transfer funds
twin palm
O really?
cyan wagon
With separate charges and transfers, you transfer whenever you want
That's the whole point
The transfer request is separate
You make it whenever you want
twin palm
but can i transfer all to the user who created the marketplace and after some time that will get transferred to the vendor?
And in i dont want to keep the funds myself
That's the issue
cyan wagon
You cannot, no
If that's what you need to do, you should have built with standard accounts
And make the vendors connect accounts of the merchants
twin palm
okay got it thank you.
Thats all, thanks again, we'll figure it out
actually, can i create an invoice from the vendor to the user who created the marketplace?
That would work right? If the markeplace has a stripe customer id?
maybe im not making any sense and this just isn't possible
