Hi there, Stripe Connect supports payout in Australia, see https://stripe.com/docs/connect/bank-debit-card-payouts for the supported settlement currencies

Setting bank and debit card payouts

Stripe allows platforms to specify payouts for their connected accounts.

oh thanks! i was confused with this section https://stripe.com/docs/connect/add-and-pay-out-guide which says its only available in the US

is there a difference between payouts and this guide on "add and payout"?

Yes there are some difference here in the doc that you are referring to

The top-up a U.S. only feature
It's using transfer API for payout instead of payout API

#

Are you a platform user? is your platform also based on Australia?

ah right thanks,

I'm not quite sure what you mean by platform user, but yes we are based in Australia too

ideally we are looking at something similar in terms of payments like Lyft, where say a 'rider' would pay for rides, and then the 'driver' could withdraw to their debit/bank as needed (just in Aus)

When you have accounts connected to your account, that make you a platform.

#

This is a example for lyft-like use case https://stripe.com/docs/connect/collect-then-transfer-guide

okay great! makes sense, appreciate the help

with this, I understand that users being paid out can set up debit/bank accounts

but can the party we accept payments from also accept debit/bank accounts with some sort of automatic billing? the docs mention that you can use stripe checkout to accept payment each time, but would it be possible to save their payment info beforehand and accept automatic payments whenever the event is triggered?

in the lyft example, this would be the 'riders' set up automatic billing from their end with their bank account and payment would triggered automatically by them completing a ride

There's a feature called instant payouts (https://stripe.com/docs/connect/instant-payouts) but it's not yet available in Australia.

The closest solution that I can think of is scheduled payouts (https://stripe.com/docs/connect/manage-payout-schedule) you can use it to automate payout to your customers

thanks, i think the payout schedule should be perfect for our use case in paying our 'drivers'

i was more so asking about the 'riders' in accepting payments, but i might have found the docs relevant to this https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges or more akin to billing/invoicing https://stripe.com/docs/connect/invoices

appreciate it

You can refer to the same doc ( https://stripe.com/docs/connect/collect-then-transfer-guide) that I shared earlier for accepting payments.
