#Dustin - Payout API
hybrid plaza
HI 👋
You cannot delay a payment intent per se but you can immediately authorize the PI and then capture the funds later

Great! thanks for the info!

However, that hold is only up to 7 days so it still wouldn't cover the 2 month timeline
So would the "host" be Stripe Connect Account?
outer mural
Yes, host will walk through connected account onboarding

In that case you could do a separate charge & transfer approach to collecting funds:
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges-transfers
So you could use the transfer_group to link the Transfers to the charges to your end-customers

Can the transfer payouts be delayed?
hybrid plaza
Sure
They are separate API calls and can be staggered as much or as little as you want
outer mural
Ohh that makes sense
i could make the original paymentIntent at the time of booking, then make the transfer call at the check-in, and link to 2 calls with transfer_group flag i think, right?
hybrid plaza
You just need to make sure you are linking the correct payments and transfers. As long as your system keeps track of which transfers belong to which payments that will work
In that case you might want to include some additional identifying info in the metadata for the payment intent

Is there a difference between a payout and a transfer?

A transfer is funds from one Stripe Account to another. A Payout moves funds from a Stripe Account to that account's bank
