hi there!

#

if you are using Separate Charges & Transfer, you have ot keep track of the balance yourself.

#

maybe you could use metadata to store that information on the PaymentIntent itself?

#

Oh... I have no way to check how much was transfered from a payment?

#

I keep track of everythinh on my side but I wanted to double check if the balance left was according to what I have on my side to be able to raise a red flag if something wasn't correct

#

you can check the overall balance of your plaform or connected account. but not how much was transfered for a specific PaymentIntent no.

#

OK, but the balance of the connected account still returns 0, even if I only transfered a few euros from the payment

#

Initially I wanted indeed to check the balance of the connected account (which made sense with what I wanted to do), but since it returned 0 I was wondering what I was missing

#

But if I a making a paymentIntent on_behalf_of a connected account, the balance of this account should return the amount of the payment?

#

Could it be returning 0 because the payment is less than 7 days?

the funds will arrive on the platform account, not the connected account

woeful hornet
#

OK, but you were saying that I can check the balance of the connected account. So how can the connected account balance could be more than 0 if all the funds are only on the platform account?

fallen mortar
#

well, if you make a transfer to the connected account, then its balance will increase.

woeful hornet
#

OK, but what I am doing is making a transfer from a connected account to another. But I get what you mean.

#

Thank you for your help

fallen mortar
#

is making a transfer from a connected account to another
you can't transfer an amont form one connected account to another

woeful hornet
#

It isn't directly from one connected account to another but I was able by doing this seperate charge and transfer. I am making a paymentIntent o_b_o a connected account and later I can make a transfer from this payment to another connected account. AM I right?

fallen mortar
#

there's the platform account (you), and a connected account. if you use separate charges & transfers, then:

  • the platform creates the PaymentIntent, and the platform receives all the funds
  • then the platform creates a transfer to transfer money from the platform account to the connected account
woeful hornet
#

Yes but by making the payment on behalf of another account, even if the money is received by the platform account it is clearly for this connected account. Or there is something I am missing here

#

As far as I understood it is the only way on Stripe to be able to transfer money from one account to another (by making the paylent on the plateform account "in the name" of this connected account)

fallen mortar
#

using on_behalf_of won't change who receives the money. assuming you are using Separate Charges & Transfer, the frunds go to the platform. Then you have to use transfer to send the funds to the connected account.

#

and you can't transfer funds from one connected account to another connected account. you can only transfer money from the platform to the connected account.

I think I get it. Thank you.
