Hi 👋

You use on_behalf_of to specify the settlement merchant. If you are splitting payments it doesn't make sense to specify OBO for 2 accounts

#

You would settle the funds on your platform account and then transfer portions to both accounts

lunar badger Nov 17, 2025, 7:36 PM

#

ok, so how do i automate that transfer to those 2 accounts?

#

i'm managing hundreds of studios, and they all have different % splits that they have set on their in-app accounts

#

when we accept a payment, it comes to us, then X% goes to their studio, and X% goes to their resident artist that did the appointment

#

Okay lets take a step back

lunar badger Nov 17, 2025, 7:37 PM

#

i can get payments to my account, or automatically to one account, with no problems, splitting is where im having issues

rugged stump Nov 17, 2025, 7:37 PM

#

First

#

This is the payment flow you would use: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/separate-charges-and-transfers

#

Here we cover

How to collect the payment <- this happens on your Platform account
How to create Transfers <- this send money to Connected accounts

In step 2 is where your integration would need to determine what % of the original charge each account should get.

lunar badger Nov 17, 2025, 7:41 PM

#

so there is not a way to determine % split inside of the stripe api, i would need to determine that separately and then pull those values in

#

to plug those into amount=''

rugged stump Nov 17, 2025, 7:43 PM

#

Correct

#

This is something your integration determines

lunar badger Nov 17, 2025, 7:43 PM

#

can transfer_group be whatever the hell we want it to be?

#

from my understanding, this is just telling us to run that one chunk of code twice, with separate amounts and destinations, but the transfer_group is the same

#

should be transfer_group always be different for each transaction, or could i just tie them to something like the Connected Account ID?

rugged stump Nov 17, 2025, 7:47 PM

#

Transfer group is generally used to connect the Transfers to the Charges, so generally we recommend it be unique to the transaction. The primary purpose is to help you keep it all straight.

lunar badger Nov 17, 2025, 7:50 PM

#

i see. is there anyway to generate a UUID or something inside of the request, and attach that transfer group to both transfers?

#

or should i generate a UUID in my app and assign that value to the transfer_group

rugged stump Nov 17, 2025, 7:52 PM

#

You would do that in your app
