You are debiting a Connect Account on_behalf_of themself, it doesn't make sense, so the API seems to just ignored the parameter

#

ok, so on_behalf_of is ignored in Charge API?

#

why would it be included in the docs here? https://stripe.com/docs/payments/connected-accounts

Charge on behalf of a connected account

As a marketplace business using Stripe Connect, you can use the Payment Intents API to create charges on behalf of connected accounts.

#

It's just ignored in your use case. It means for Separate Charge and Transfer

#

https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges-transfers

Creating separate charges and transfers

With Connect, you can make charges on your platform account on behalf of connected accounts, perform transfers separately, and retain funds in the process.

#

But honestly you should use PaymentIntent APIs instead of Charge API. Charge API is legacy

yeah, we do use OBO for sep charges & transfers and destination charges.

The reason why we added it to the debit here is because we don't want the GBP to be converted into EUR. We want it to remain in GBP

It doesn't control the currency conversion in Account Debit. I recommend talking to our Support and they might have suggestions!
