Are you trying to add credit to a Connect account, or just to a customer?

#

to a customer.

#

our intention is to allow employers to gift X GBP to their employees, which they can use to pay for services with our stripe connect users

Gotcha - have you been looking into customer credit balance? https://stripe.com/docs/billing/customer/balance

i did check this out, i applied credit to my account and then went to make a payment as that customer, the money was still taken from my card - which led me to beleive i had misunderstood this featuer

Ah, were you creating Payment Intents with this? Customer Credit Balance is meant to be used specifically for Billing (Invoices + subscriptions)

#

yes they are Payment Intents

#

Yeah, that would be why it wasn't working. You'd need to use Invoices if you want to use the Customer credit balance
