Hello! Have you investigated listening for the balance.available event? https://stripe.com/docs/api/events/types#event_types-balance.available

tiny stratus Sep 14, 2021, 6:48 PM

#

Yes but I need to know which payment / transaction is

#

and the balance object doesn't have this information

#

To explain more, actually, when a transaction is made, I create another transaction associated by transfer group. Because we offer £5 discount on each transaction for example. But the problem is that my transaction is already available for the payout (because it comes from our balance). And the payment will be available only in 7 days.

#

So I need to send the £5 discount only when the payment is available for the payout

#

Sorry, I'm still not following. What do you mean by "when the payment is available for the payout" exactly?

tiny stratus Sep 14, 2021, 6:55 PM

#

That's why I think about 2 things :

Know when a payment is unlock to be in the next payout
Have to know when the payout on Monday is done and check each transaction that are in it. And create the £5 transfer for each one

#

When the shopper make a payment, the money is available for the merchant payout after 7 days, on the next Mondays

#

So you want to know when a Payout has been made, then look at every payment included in the Payout and create a £5 for each one?

tiny stratus Sep 14, 2021, 6:57 PM

#

yes exactly

#

Okay, for the first part you can listen for payout.paid events: https://stripe.com/docs/api/events/types#event_types-payout.paid

#

For the second part you can list all Balance Transactions that are associated with that Payout to determine what's contained in the Payout: https://stripe.com/docs/api/balance_transactions/list#balance_transaction_list-payout

#

From there you can issue the £5 Transfers.

#

OK payout.paid is hooked each time a transaction is available for the NEXT payout? Or I suppose I have to check if it's for the next payout or the following one

#

I don't understand what you mean when you say "the NEXT payout". Can you provide more details there?

tiny stratus Sep 14, 2021, 7:01 PM

#

because for the payout, you can have multiple ones. It's not one by one

hoary arch Sep 14, 2021, 7:03 PM

#

Multiple what? Multiple Payouts? Multiple payments within a Payout?

tiny stratus Sep 14, 2021, 7:03 PM

#

But I will check

#

no pultiplate payout

#

one by week

#

so a payment could be on the next payout or on the next next payout

#

I will check it

hoary arch Sep 14, 2021, 7:05 PM

#

So when you get a payout.paid event it will be for a specific Payout. You can use the Balance Transactions list API to determine what's in that specific Payout.
