hi! the options are at https://stripe.com/docs/connect/account-capabilities#transfers-cross-border

If you’re not covered by these scenarios, create a platform account in that same region and onboard accounts to that account. Depending on your business structure, this might require creating a legal entity in that region and additional work to onboard users to the new platform account.

Alternatively, you can facilitate international payouts by using the card_payments capability to make charges directly on the connected account.

~~(note that second paragraph is only applicable for US platforms sending to international destinations, it doesn't work for platforms in other countries)~~
ah sorry, was thinking of something else (https://stripe.com/docs/connect/cross-border-payouts)

as that paragraph says though, the alternative is to not do Transfers(Destination charge) and do Direct Charges instead, or do Destination Charges with on_behalf_of, (https://stripe.com/docs/connect/destination-charges#settlement-merchant) but those have their own implications.

Hmmm, we can't do direct charges, and I think we would probably need to keep the platform as the settlement merchant 🤔

#

yep! so usually the only option is multiple platforms

royal hill Jul 5, 2022, 10:49 AM

#

Do you know how many platforms would we need to make for the best international coverage?

queen compass Jul 5, 2022, 10:50 AM

#

nope since it depends entirely on your business

#

the EU is its own region( see the link I posted) and then as far as I know other countries are their own individual region(for example a US platform can't transfer to a CA connected account)

Does the cross border payouts thing you mentioned - https://stripe.com/docs/connect/cross-border-payouts - mean that if we re-make our primary platform to be in the US, that we can make transfers to all the countries listed on that page?

#

Generally yes, although some of those countries are in beta (and would require special gated access)

@royal hill What's up?

royal hill Jul 5, 2022, 12:50 PM

#

Thanks! Just wanted to check about this. I created a US platform account and enabled Connect. I then went to set which countries could onboard and which countries have transfers/payments supported, etc, and saw this

#

#

But if I enable test mode, then the countries are supported

#

(for transfers)

#

Is this just because I didn't complete the platform setup?
