Hi there!

lament walrus Nov 13, 2025, 11:03 PM

#

Just to clarify what I'm trying to achieve. In my sandbox account, I'm trying to simulate a destination charge. In order to do that, I first created a custom connected account. I'm doing this all via postman and in the create account request, I set "capabilities[transfers][requested]"=true. However, in the response, transfers are still coming back as "inactive". This is preventing me from creating a payment intent with transfer_data[destination] set to the custom account I created, as I get an error that transfers are set to inactive

#

Hi Palamedes!

Sorry - was helping someone else as well.

The short answer is that you need to provide information about the account, even in testmode. If you look at requirements.currently_due - that is the information that you need to fill

#

so here

#

no problem. I appreciate the response. I'll check out those docs and come back if I run into any issues

#

I agree it is annoying and I wish we had a magic tool to prefill account information when you onboard new connected accounts in testmode, but we don't

#

I have to do it when I onboard new accounts for testing and it is frustrating.

lament walrus Nov 13, 2025, 11:23 PM

#

Haha yea for testing, it would be nice if the accoutns had those features enabled. Just to confirm, even for an individual connect account, these are the things it says I would need to get transfers enabled?

"currently_due": [
  "business_profile.mcc",
  "business_profile.url",
  "business_type",
  "external_account",
  "representative.first_name",
  "representative.last_name",
  "tos_acceptance.date",
  "tos_acceptance.ip"

#

Yes, that's right

lament walrus Nov 13, 2025, 11:24 PM

#

Ok thanks a lot. I'll test it out later

#

Have a good night

soft ember Nov 13, 2025, 11:25 PM

#

you too!

lament walrus Nov 13, 2025, 11:44 PM

#

Hey sorry to bother - can I ask you one more question?

soft ember Nov 13, 2025, 11:44 PM

#

yep!

Sorry got carried away. I was able to get the transfer to switch from inactive to pending.

For testing, do I need to wait until pending changes to something like enabled?

"capabilities": {
"card_payments": "pending",
"transfers": "pending"
},

#

Just curious if there's anything else I need to do to get the pending to change to enabled or active

soft ember Nov 14, 2025, 12:03 AM

#

No it should transition on its own - I would retrieve the account again and look at it. If I recall correctly it doesn't stay in pending long in test mode

Thanks i'll check rn
