hello @urban rampart! for a Transfer, if the request has succeeded, this means that the Transfer has been created.

#

are you trying to check on something specifically?

urban rampart Dec 13, 2021, 9:04 AM

#

my main use case would be to create a manual payout when a transfer is marked as completed - so that's where i thought to look first, after a transfer status

#

but then if the transfer is created means success, why are there other events like failed

#

when would i receive a failed transfer webhook, wouldn't that prevent the transfer to be created?

#

and what about the paid event

wild helm Dec 13, 2021, 9:09 AM

#

for context, the transfer.failed and transfer.paid are legacy events from back when transfers were still being used for payouts

urban rampart Dec 13, 2021, 9:10 AM

#

oh

wild helm Dec 13, 2021, 9:10 AM

#

so those aren't relevant unless you're on a super old integration

urban rampart Dec 13, 2021, 9:10 AM

#

then it all makes sense now

wild helm Dec 13, 2021, 9:10 AM

#

yeah, sorry about that, i'll pass on the feedback that we should really include a note about those events

#

it's really confusing

urban rampart Dec 13, 2021, 9:10 AM

#

great, thanks for clearing these out !

#

@wild helm oh, one more question on these, then after a transfer is created, does it mean the funds are available for a payout? meaning i can create one immediately? or that's somehting that happens later?

wild helm Dec 13, 2021, 9:17 AM

#

it depends

#

so if a transfer is created with source_transaction specified, the transferred funds will follow the source_transaction available_on date

#

if you create a transfer without source_transaction specified, the funds will be taken from your platform available balance and will be immediately available on the connected account

urban rampart Dec 13, 2021, 9:19 AM

#

source transaction means something like pulling from the account's bank account?

#

(sorry, haven't read the docs on that yet)

wild helm Dec 13, 2021, 9:19 AM

#

https://stripe.com/docs/api/transfers/create#create_transfer-source_transaction

#

it would be a PaymentIntent object id

urban rampart Dec 13, 2021, 9:20 AM

#

ah, got it

#

my use case would be 100% from the balance, so i guess it should be available immediately

wild helm Dec 13, 2021, 9:20 AM

#

yep

urban rampart Dec 13, 2021, 9:21 AM

#

awesome, thanks for the support!
