Hi there, are you creating Direct Charges to the connected accounts?

I tried that but then i can't get automatic tax calculation because the connected account must enable that on their dashboard so I scrapped that idea

what i need is a way to delay the transfer payouts from the checkout session

[tawny owl]

What's the account type?

[plush bison]

express

we are still in testing so I could still change the type

[tawny owl]

Since you must use Stripe Tax for automatic tax calculation, you can only use Checkout.

[plush bison]

yes

is there a way to delay the transfers to the connected accounts? I used these options when creating the checkout session:
payment_intent_data: {
application_fee_amount: fee ,
transfer_data: {
destination: connected_acc_id
}

You can change the capture_method to manual so that you can hold the funds for up to 7 days https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create?lang=curl#create_checkout_session-payment_intent_data-capture_method

I see... that won't work for me because people could pay for events months in advance. I don't want to transfer to the connected account right away because they could drain it and not hold the event. I want to wait. I think I can set the connected accounts to manual payouts and then trigger a payout at a time of my choosing. Does this sound right?

[tawny owl]

Or you want to do a separate charge and transfer (https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges-transfers) and use the transfer_group param (https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create?lang=curl#create_checkout_session-payment_intent_data-transfer_group)

[plush bison]

Yes this could work as well. Can I also get automatic tax calculation with this method?

[tawny owl]

I haven't tried this flow to be honest, can you test it out and let me know if there's any problem?

[plush bison]

Sure! No problem. I will see if manual payouts work first and if it does I will just keep that flow. If not I will try this way and let you know.

Thanks for your help!!
