you could check the request log from when you created the payment intent / charge, to verify that the on_behalf_of param was passed

got it - thank you!

the on_behalf_of attribute can be used for sep charges & transfers as well, right?

tidal flame
#

yup!

#

perfect. the benefit of using on_behalf_of is that it allows our platform to transfer funds to a connected account using a different currency, correct?

For example, we are a FR platform who wants to transfer GBP to a UK connected account

#

sorta - it allows you to settle charges on behalf of a particular connected account

#

one of the things this means is that the charge is kept in the deposit currency of the connected account, if possible

#

eg: if you make a gbp charge for a UK account which has a gbp bank account, the charge will stay in gbp, and the transfer to the account will also be in gbp

#

if the UK account had a eur bank account, though, the charge would be converted to eur, because that's the deposit currency of the account

#

or if the UK account had a gbp bank account again, and you created a charge in jpy, the charge would be FXd to gbp - it doesn't stay in jpy

ah, very cool! thank you

#

would there be any issues of using on_behalf_of for charges done in the same currency as the platform?

eg: a EUR charge is made on our FR Platform and we are paying out to a FR account which has a EUR bank account

nope, that's fine
