Hi 👋
What do you mean by "pause payments"? If you are the Platform, your code is controlling when payments get created.
Also what do you mean by "silencing notifications"? Do you mean webhook events you are receiving or something else?

For standard connects, we found out that sometimes after we stopped collecting payments on our platform, they sometimes still use the connected account to receive funds through other means (maybe link payments or something) and it's messing with our monitoring & reporting a bit.

Through what mechanism?
Are you receiving webhook events that you are using?
Generally, if a standard account is connected to you, you will be able to see any payments they accept through any platform
verbal wraith
I think because it's standard connect where they have access to their own dashboard, they can create links or invoices through the dashboard and collect payments outside our platform

We have monitoring script that fetches their balanced transactions
*balance transaction
lunar gale
Okay so you need to track which payments are originated by your platform and ignore the ones that arent
verbal wraith
I see we can try that. How would you advise us to achieve that? Through meta data?
lunar gale
A payment intent created by your Connect platform will have the Application ID in the application property.
You will likely want to make sure you check against your specific application ID rather than just checking if there is one. That way, if a Standard account connects to another Platform, you don't start tracking those payments.

Thank you! Is there a way to get the source of the payment through the balance transactions directly?
lunar gale
Yes, you can use the expand parameter in your API call: https://docs.stripe.com/expand
For transactions of type: "charge" the source is a Charge object. It also has the application property
verbal wraith
Got it. Thank you for the help!
btw do you know if there is a way for us to stop receiving email notifications from stripe for some connected accounts? Specifically, we have many old connected accounts for which stripe is emailing us because of overdue requirements. But, since we no longer process payments with those old accounts, these emails are a bit noisy for our support team to deal with.
Are you aware of any programatic means for us to stop these alerts?
lunar gale
Unfortunately, this isn't something that is configured through the APIs so I'm not familiar with how to avoid them, short of disconnecting the account.
verbal wraith
I see. Thank you! That's all of my inquiries. Have a good day!

I'm glad I was able to shed some 💡
