heya @warm laurel, you can't adjust the transfer_data[amount] at this point , the only way is probably to make a separate transfer [0], or probably partially reverse the original transfer [1].

I'll check the links. If the invoice is not yet paid, can I still adjust the transfer_data[amount] of the original invoice or will I just have to void the original and then create a new invoice?

#

you can test it on your own account, i vaguely remember that i've tried it before and it wasn't possible to adjust an already created invoice

Okay. Thank you

If I partially reverse the original transfer of a paid invoice, will the Platform receive the amount?
If the Original Invoice is:
Amount: 100
Platform Fee: 12
Transfer Amount to Connected Account: 88
The update to the Invoice after a partial refund is:
Amount: 90
Platform Fee: 10.8
Transfer Amount to Connected Account: 79.2

In my understanding, the Customer will be refunded 10. Do I only just have to reverse transfer 8.8(88-79.2) from the Connected Account balance?

i'm a bit confused, what is your expected outcome here? i.e. what do you want to do, and what do you expect to happen?

If I refund the customer with 10, I want the Connected account to only be transferred with 79.2 and the Platform will keep 10.8 (though I'm not sure if I should take into account the Stripe fee also).

so if you refund the customer, you can choose to refund_application_fee and reverse_transfer. Stripe will auto calculate the amount to reverse for the transfer and the application fee if it's a partial refund

https://stripe.com/docs/api/refunds/create#create_refund-refund_application_fee
https://stripe.com/docs/api/refunds/create#create_refund-reverse_transfer

#

but keep in mind that when you do a refund, it's not going to reflect in the invoice

I Create a Refund by passing the payment_intent_id and then attach the refund to the credit_note_options.refund to create a credit note.
If I use transfer_data[amount] , will still be able to use refund_application_fee?

ah i see, yep that makes sense with the credit_note_options.refund.

Sorry i forgot the part where you only used transfer_data[amount]. So no, you won't be able to use refund_application_fee if you're using transfer_data[amount].

Using your previous example of original invoice amount $100, and you refund $10 to the customer with reverse_transfer=true - what happens is that :

Stripe takes 10 from platform balance and refunds to the customer
8.8 is transferred from the connected account to the platform.

Okay. Will be able to see this in the Dashboard?

#

I see it now in the balance page under all transactions.

#

yep, that's where i typically check for it too
