Hello 👋 do you have the request ID (req_XXX) from where you tried to make this payout?
Ah, I see. That external account belongs to your connected account, not your platform account. So you need to use the Stripe-Account parameter/header to specify the connected account's ID.

No, the Account ID of the connected account:

You're not making the request to the connected account, you're making the request for the connected account.
Essentially you're telling us that the connected account wants to payout money from their balance to their external account, and we won't let your platform account do that itself. The platform has to tell us which connected account it's making the request for.

For a connected account?
bitter patio
Sorry, we don't do that here.
knotty prairie
okay

bitter patio
Where are the funds that you want to move sitting currently?
knotty prairie
in my (stripe account) (account against which i have generated my api key)
bitter patio
So your platform account?
knotty prairie
yes\
bitter patio
You can't send funds directly from your platform's Stripe balance to an external account belonging to a connected account. You have to first transfer it to the connected account's Stripe balance.

And then you make a payout request for the connected account
knotty prairie
okay
