Hi there

#

Hmm good question

#

Will your platform and Connected Accounts be located all in the same region?

misty hare Jul 21, 2022, 4:35 PM

#

For now, yes

#

I want the "driver" to be able to see the $ in their stripe account immediately, but that won't work if I use separate charges and transfers, right?

edgy ocean Jul 21, 2022, 4:37 PM

#

Correct

#

Are you using Express accounts?

misty hare Jul 21, 2022, 4:39 PM

#

Yes

edgy ocean Jul 21, 2022, 4:39 PM

#

Gotcha, then yeah. It sounds like you would want Destination Charges here. What is the reason for wanting manual payouts?

#

Like why pool the funds for a payout?

misty hare Jul 21, 2022, 4:41 PM

#

Because there might be lots of "riders" in my use case, and I wouldn't want dozens of separate items on a "driver"s bank account. I think it would be messy and make it hard to tell if he/she was paid the correct amount

edgy ocean Jul 21, 2022, 4:42 PM

#

Gotcha. Well they will still see the individual payments if you use destination charges even if you use manual payouts and batch the payouts.

#

But if that works then manual payouts would work

misty hare Jul 21, 2022, 4:43 PM

#

They will see the individual payments in their Stripe account (which is fine), but not in their bank account. Is that right?

edgy ocean Jul 21, 2022, 4:45 PM

#

Correct

misty hare Jul 21, 2022, 4:47 PM

#

Thank you, that's really helpful. My last question would be--is there a good way to batch the payments? I don't think I can use a webhook because I'm waiting for a bunch of different charges $ to become available. Should I just wait a set number of days?

edgy ocean Jul 21, 2022, 4:48 PM

#

When you say "payments" here do you mean the payouts to your Connected Accounts?

misty hare Jul 21, 2022, 4:49 PM

#

yes, sorry

edgy ocean Jul 21, 2022, 4:52 PM

#

What paymentmethod types are you intending to support?

#

Are they all going to be synchronous?

#

How do you expect to handle if one of the batch's charge fails?

misty hare Jul 21, 2022, 4:55 PM

#

We support cards and currently we support ApplePay, but we might not be able to support applepay in the future?

#

Won't we know at time of charge if it fails, or is it possible to find out that it fails days later?

edgy ocean Jul 21, 2022, 4:58 PM

#

Yes you will know at time of charge if you are only using synchronous paymentmethods like cards

misty hare Jul 21, 2022, 4:59 PM

#

Ok, great

#

I am thinking I will run a function 1-2 times a day that checks if the available balance is >= the cost of the "ride", and in that case initiate a payout

edgy ocean Jul 21, 2022, 5:10 PM

#

That should work. Note though that the funds won't be available immediately upon a successful charge.

#

So you will want to check for 2 days ago or however long the availability takes (depends on country of account)

misty hare Jul 21, 2022, 5:17 PM

#

Yep, that's why I plan on doing it daily, and I will check the account's "available" balance, not just their "pending" balance

#

Does that sound right?

edgy ocean Jul 21, 2022, 5:18 PM

#

Yep
