👋 happy to help

#

since there's not much going on in that thread would you mind asking your specific question here?

#

i was using transfer_group in separate charges and transfer with one time payment,

#

i would like to do the same on subscription too

#

but actually not sure if the transfer_group is something which can track the transfer ? if yes, how should i use it for subscription?

#

I don't really follow your question

#

Could you please explain your use case?

strange garden May 18, 2022, 8:36 AM

#

i'm using this approach for one time payment

#

but subscription doesn't have a transfer_group field, so what should i use in place of transfer_group for subscription transfer?

https://stripe.com/docs/connect/subscriptions#transfer

Create subscriptions with Connect

With Connect, you can create subscriptions for connected accounts, optionally taking fees in the process.

#

this one transfer the amount when subscription is created with active status?

#

we would like to hold the amount in platform account for n days, then will transfer the amount to connected account

#

is it possible?
the above doc that you send only mention about direct charge and destination charge. it doesn't say anything about separate charges and transfer

I'm looking into this, sorry for the delay

#

ok

@strange garden note that transfer_group is mostly optional so it's not really needed. But ultimately like you say, you can't set it when creating a subscription, so one option is to just create the subscription as normal and then later update the resulting charge with a transfer group https://stripe.com/docs/api/charges/update#update_charge-transfer_group

yep!

#

ok understood. thank you

#

but may i ask, what does this transfer_group do?

digital lantern May 18, 2022, 9:32 AM

#

it's for accounting/audit so that it's possible to track the flow of funds

#

e.g. this Payment in group "A" led to money being transferred in these other transfers, so that we can audit where the money goes and where it comes from

#

sorry?
this is the transfer that i've made after few days from the original payment made by customer .
so with this transfer_group, i can identify the corresponding transaction made to the platform account?
i mean customer - platform transaction?

digital lantern May 18, 2022, 9:35 AM

#

sure

strange garden May 18, 2022, 9:36 AM

#

oh? is it possible from the dashboard?

digital lantern May 18, 2022, 9:36 AM

#

like that's what https://stripe.com/docs/api/charges/list#list_charges-transfer_group is for

Stripe API reference – List all charges – curl

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

strange garden oh? is it possible from the dashboard?

you can probably log into the platform's dashboard and search in the search bar in the top for the transfer group

strange garden May 18, 2022, 9:37 AM

#

i see.. let me check

#

ok found , thanks.
so there is no way to identify it from the transfer detail page right?
