Balances are not available instantly, they take 2 days to clear in the US, and it's the same in Test mode (otherwise you'd be broken when you go live and don't expect this)
We have test cards for this https://stripe.com/docs/testing#cards-responses
4000000000000077: Charge succeeds and funds will be added directly to your available balance (bypassing your pending balance).
Also usually you don't really transfer funds like that, you tie the funds to an existing transaction so you want to read https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges-transfers#transfer-availability

@serene jungle is it possible to tie the transfer to a checkout transasction?
serene jungle
are you working with @slow bane or is it a different question?
lyric wasp
i am not working with him but I have the same issue
serene jungle
And yes Checkout creates a PaymentIntent which creates a Charge so the flow works the same way
lyric wasp
alright
and can i confirm that the destination param in transfers.create is the target stripe account?
I have been staring at stripe api docs for 18 hours straight so i would appreciate any help😩
serene jungle
yes that's correct. You can also have us do the transfer automatically, see https://stripe.com/docs/connect/destination-charges
lyric wasp
if i were to link the paymentIntent to the transfer, would I still need to wait the 2 days for the balance to clear?
serene jungle
if you use the source_transaction the Transfer is created immediately but the funds will be "pending" the same as the Charge.
