hey there 👋

Hey
brave dagger
for payout reconciliation, if you want to do this manually (rather than relying on a Stripe report/export) then you can log the Balance Transaction ID for each transaction (charge, refund, etc)
to reconcile, you can use this API to list all Balance Transactions for a given Payout: https://docs.stripe.com/api/balance_transactions/list#balance_transaction_list-payout

Ok great so the balance transaction will be used for all transactions on the payout report?
brave dagger
yep, exactly!
zealous radish
Ok cool thanks, that should make it easier
We will have to backfill all of our existing transactions to get the blanace transaction id, from a paymentIntentId. Is there a reccomeneded way to do this?
brave dagger
technically there's no direct link between the PaymentIntent ID and the Balance Transaction ID
The PaymentIntent object doesn't have a balance_transaction property, as that's related to the underlying/associated Charge object
https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_intents/object
https://docs.stripe.com/api/charges/object#charge_object-balance_transaction
so in short, to get from the PaymentIntent ID to the Balance Transaction ID, you'd need to:
- retrieve the PI,
- expand the Charge, and
- get the
balance_transactionfrom the Charge object
you could also do the reverse by listing all Balance Transactions, and identifying the source (i.e. Charge ID) for each: https://docs.stripe.com/api/balance_transactions/list

Ok thanks for your help
brave dagger
any time!
