well i guess that answers my question. i dont know why this error wasnt thrown when creating the checkout session. but it really should be

Ah yes, OBO is required to indicate settlement in the currency of the Connected Account.
pseudo narwhal
would it still not be possible if the transaction currency is the same as the one for transfer_data.destination?
civic warren
The destination parameter does not have the same effect on determining the settlement currency.
pseudo narwhal
so we have no other option than to use on_behalf_of?
civic warren
Double checking my understanding. This doc might help both of us: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/currencies
I'm reading it now

Do you have a request ID I can take a look at?

But on_behalf_of was not used in this case?
I thought you were going to try that since, as the doc I linked suggested, it is the only way to settle in the connected account's currency
pseudo narwhal
i havent used OBO at all
yeah but we cant use OBO as it would make the connected account the MoR
civic warren
Then unfortunately you cannot settle in the connected account's currency
pseudo narwhal
and there's no other way apart from OBO?
even if we added the currencies as a settlement currency in our platform account?
civic warren
Hmmm 🤔
pseudo narwhal
otherwise we'll have to do payouts outside of stripe
which thinking about it sounds like a real pain lmfao

I think that would be difficult to maintain but you could test it out. But now we are getting into an area that has more to do with international banking regulations. Honestly Support is much better equipped to advise you there.

we could use https://wise.com 's api. we use them for our financial accounts instead of having a bank account

as far as transfers go, i feel stripe really needs to make https://stripe.com/docs/connect/cross-border-payouts at least somewhat available outside the us. without it, businesses like mine are unable to use stripe. it doesnt make business impossible, but its just weird that companies like paypal and wise are able to provide cross-border transfers but stripe isnt, especially seen as stripe has a lot more information than those companies would have regarding SOF.
