Looks like you're providing a different account ID (acct_1Jw3LpPFOZ6yD7KZ) to the destination parameter for your transfer: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_qvWQBKcTrmWNPz

I saw that too... Its a bit weird because I dont know where it comes from
after copleting the test onboarding , when I log in . is the account assigned another account id ?

rich oxide
Nope, account ID persists from creation
For reference this an account that hasn't yet onboarded successfully (hence why capabilities are disabled)

Ah I understand , so it must be some mistake in my backend
rich oxide
Yeah that request is coming from your Node application. So a variable must be a different value to what you're expecting

Thank you !

Finally got back to the point of my initial question : how can I bypass having no money in the stripe account for transfers?
If it help , this is the request id : req_0KPOv3NS0p9Sut
And this is the error : You have insufficient funds in your Stripe account. One likely reason you have insufficient funds is that your funds are automatically being paid out;
rich oxide
Well, are there funds in the account?
Specifically, do you have a EUR balance on the Platform?
rich oxide
Yeah, you'll need a balance in order to do transfers. The test API simulates live mode as closely as possible. https://stripe.com/docs/connect/testing#testing-top-ups

Ahh this is adding 'virtual' EUR , got it ! Thanks !
rich oxide
Yeah, it's completely fake money 😄
left eagle
🙂
rich oxide
You can obviously also do fake payments on the platform do accrue a balance
left eagle
Cheers !
So sorry for all these questions , but it seems like , because im not in the US , I cannot make even virtual top-ups. Is there any way to bypass this ?
rich oxide
Hmm, my bad. In that case you should just process some fake payments using test cards
left eagle
O I have , but it is regarded as a sepreate balance .. I guess , since I have more than enough money in that balance to cover these test transfers

That's because those funds are set aside in a reserve balance: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/account-balances#understanding-connected-reserve-balances
they're not 'available' to be transferred
