thanks :)
To be clear, you mean reverse the transfer to their account and charge them on top of that?
yep. i don't think we can use POST /v1/transfers to debit their account as the account may be in a different region
If these are Express or Custom accounts you can debit them as per this doc: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/account-debits
There is complexity to the requirements/execution there but does that look basically like what you are looking for?
This feature is available in Australia, Canada, Europe, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, and the U.S. Stripe supports Account Debits only when both your platform and the connected account are in the same region (for example, both in Japan).
this is the issue we encounter with that solution sadly
Ah I see. Otherwise I'm not sure if you can debit them through connect.
I know another option in some connect situations is to create a Customer object for these connected accounts, have them set up a PaymentMethod with you, and charge that when appropriate
Will look in to this a bit more
What part of that specifically are you running in to can I ask?
the majority of our accounts will not be in the uk (our region)
Thank you, looking in to this with that in mind
So yes, the best way forward here would be to collect payment method details and charge them yourself
okay. thanks for the info. would there be a way for us to track our own balance for the customer using stripe to account for negative balances without actually putting the account below zero (aka, the debt isnt debited from the connected bank account, but future payments are used to offset it until it's zero)?
Track the dispute fees from one account, essentially?
yeah
@vagrant bramble I'm not sure I see what your flow would look like. But the dispute fees are taken from your own platform account (assuming you use destination charges) so you can definitely keep track of this yourself
i guess we could, thanks. also, if we refund a payment and set reverse_transfer to true, or just POST /v1/transfers/:id/reversals, does the account's balance have to be able to cover the entire cost, or will stripe not allow the balance to fall below zero?
You likely want to read through https://stripe.com/docs/connect/account-balances as it covers all of this in details. but we let connected accounts go negative and take a reserve on the platform's balance instead
got it, have a nice day :)
