How to perform a manual payout? (For Express accounts)

This section goes over the 'Stripe - Perform Manual Payout' workflow action to payout a Stripe Express account manually.

Note: The user must have completed the onboarding steps for a Stripe Express account.

To perform a manual payout make sure that the payout schedule for the Express account is set to manual. You can retrieve the users current balance by performing the 'Stripe - Retrieve Connected Account Balances' data call. Using this call you can see the Pending and Available balances.

Keep in mind that it takes some time for balances to go from 'Pending' to 'Available' depending on the country. Only balances that are 'Available' can be paid out.

Important - Cross Currency Payments

If your onboarded user receives funds from a country with a different currency, the funds will be converted to that currency (instantly & automatically by Stripe). This means that the amount and currency to payout will be different than in your system. You will need the following call to retrieve the new amount and currency for a payout. You should make this call right after a payment is made.

• GET Charge details (to receive the balance transaction ID)

• GET Balance Transaction details
