Hey. Nope, don't believe that's possible

Hmm. Where is your Stripe account located?

[plucky oriole]

I think that's possible on the dashboard, is that right?

This seems relevant: https://stripe.com/docs/issuing/funding/connect#add-funds

Doesn't use the funding instructions API, but still don't think you can separate the balance topup and the issuing credit

[plucky oriole]

thanks, we've already implemented this flow

[plucky oriole]

who doesn't? dashboard?

[foggy verge]

That link I sent doesn't use this API directly: https://stripe.com/docs/api/issuing/funding_instructions/create

[plucky oriole]

I might be missing some things, and connect terminology is quite hard to wrap my head around for me, but I'm pretty sure I can add funds to a connect account without adding funds to issued cards on the dashboard.

[plucky oriole]

ha, didn't know about this api, let me check

[foggy verge]

Instead it uses topups with destination_balance paramater

[foggy verge]

Yeah, but that will draw funds from the source (bank) directly to the Issuing balance/card

[foggy verge]

You can, yep. But the issue is then adding to the Issuing balance from the balance. They're 2 separate balances

Don't think it's possible

[plucky oriole]

Isn't it possible using the dashboard with this "add to balance" button?

[foggy verge]

Yes, but that will draw directly from an external account/bank AFAIK. Not the other Stripe balance

Which will bypass your original ask:

Is there a way to programmatically add funds to a connect account (but not make these funds available to issued cards), then, after some validation, pass these funds to their issuing card balance?

[plucky oriole]

got it, thanks. let me try and come up with an alternative maybe with the funding instructions api.

[plucky oriole]

Hi, just confirmed I can move funds from connect account balance (confusingly, called Stripe balance and card balance at the same time) using the dashboard, after clicking the button I highlighted in yellow. Am I missing anything?

[foggy verge]

Hmm, I'm not sure how that's achievable via the API

[plucky oriole]

:/ thanks

[foggy verge]

Let me check

[plain palm]

not finding anything I'm afraid

[plucky oriole]

so the dashboard is using an internal API, am I understanding this correctly?

[plain palm]

quite possible, lots of things are dashboard-only with no public API availability
