there isn't a way to do it since a manual payout it just paying a lump sum, there's no way to say what specific payments might be involved with that.

#

like if you transfer $10 and $5 and $15 for a balance of $30, and you payout $15 , is that associated with the first two transfers, or is it the last transfer? there's no way for Stripe to know that since we just deal with the lump sum

Okay how about this, can I see if a Transfer has been paid out? I can then list them and filter out the ones that have been paid

can I see if a Transfer has been paid out?
only if youre using automatic payouts

#

the concept of being "paid out" doesn't exist/make sense in the context of manual payouts for reasons like my example above(which of those transfers is paid out?)

hearty willow
#

Yeah okay

#

All of this comes about because our users what to be paid out twice a month, and also want to see what the payouts relate to.

#

Which seems like an impossible task

#

easiest way would be to change the business requirement and pay out weekly instead so you can use interval:weekly with automatic payouts

#

But that's weekly rather than every two weeks right? The costs spiral for us if we go to weekly 😮‍💨

#

maybe experiment with interval:weekly and delay_days:7? I don't know if that works, I've never tried adjusting schedules too much so not sure what is possible

#

It'll still payout each week, just delayed by a week. If you take feature requests, a twice a month payout would be great:)

#

If I create a manual payout halfway through a month, and then an automated Payout happens at the end of a month, will all of the Transfers involved in that month be associated with the automated Payout? Even if the total of the automated Payout is less than the total of all the Transfers?

#

I don't think it works that way. If you change from manual to automatic payouts we pay out any accumulated balance in one big payout at the next scheduled time and zero out the balance

hearty willow
#

So I guess we have to figure another way of associating a transfer with a payout internally when doing a manual payout

#

Or suck it up and do weekly payouts
