Here, I am using Stripe APIs for payment gateway.
There is no requirement to make payment through bank account to stripe account and vise-versa.
That's why I am making payment with one stripe account to other stripe account.
This process I have done with "https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges-transfers" that is complete working.
I have done all the functionality but main question is as below.
Question:
Can I hold payment in between from one stripe account to other stripe account?
For e.g. If one user is making payment from stripe account, the balance should be deduct.
But when I want to release that payment, then other user will get that balance.
In between is it possible to make the payment in hold?
Suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.
Here, after some research and some implementation, there is process to hold the funds by using Charge API with capture parameter that is related to bank account.
But there is no any API to capture or hold the funds from one stripe account to other stripe account because stripe is not a wallet service.

The situation
In my e-commerce project, I'm using stripe card element to catch payments from customers to the platform's Stripe account. After my Laravel application listens to the webbook of a successful payment that is fired by Stripe, the app then fires a job to add credit on the seller's platform account. This part works perfectly fine.
The question
Is there a way to add some sort of a button in the seller's profile on the platform that allows the seller to receive exactly the amount that is on their account on the platform?
Let's say he has $100 credit on the platform, after clicking 'pay me' button, the seller will get this $100 paid out from the platform's stripe account to his bank account.
I have accomplished until now:
1- A visitor can add item to cart and checkout.
2- Uses stripe card element to take the payment.
3- When payment is successful, the amount goes to the platform's stripe account.
4- The application listens to successful payment webhook and adds credit to the seller's account on the platform (As simple as having a column on the database for each seller with the default of 0 and it increases upon each successful customer payment).
Thoughts
What do you think about this? https://stripe.com/docs/connect/add-and-pay-out-guide
I'm thinking of using this technique since I'm doing everything manual. I believe I can skip the part where I top-up my Stripe account (Since it should be having credit by default from the successful payment).
So here is what I think:
0- A customer makes a successful payment towards some products and the application catches Stripe webhooks and fires a job to add credit to the seller's platform account.
1- The seller receives a notification that he has credit on the platform's account.
2- The seller then can click on a button that takes him to a route where I redirect him to create (stripe express account)[https://stripe.com/docs/connect/add-and-pay-out-guide?integration=with-code#with-code-create-account-link]
3- After the seller gets redirected to the platform again and I catch the webhook that account has been created, The seller then will be redirected to receive the determined amount by my platform. https://stripe.com/docs/connect/add-and-pay-out-guide?integration=with-code#with-code-pay-out-to-user
You can ask your sellers to register an express account when they onboard your platform, so that your sellers can submit all necessary documentation for account verification and make their accounts payout enabled.
When your customer is about to make a payment, you should create a destination charge so that Stripe can automatically transfer the funds from platform to a connected account, you can also opt to charge an application fee from this transaction if you wish.
Stripe will automatically perform payouts based on the account's payout schedule , if you prefer to do it manually, change the schedule's interval to manual . Visit this page to learn more about manual payouts.
I'm trying to understand Stripe Connects api.
I've a platform where people come and sell their products and customer will pay immediately but I want to hold it in escrow and release it later. That is fine but my all sellers might not have stripe account and just have bank accounts.
I checked this api https://stripe.com/docs/api/php#create_charge which allows destination and platform fees as well but the problem is it requires stripe account of my sellers too. Can I directly send money to their bank accounts and save my commission only on stripe ?
I can't find any API for it or any similar solution if anyone have.
Suggestions are appreciated.
In your case, your sellers will need to have Stripe accounts. It's not possible to directly payout funds from your Stripe account to an unconnected bank account(Stripe is required to perform various know-your-customer checks before allowing payouts). You will need to use Connect, so you should check the Stripe Connect docs on payouts. [0] But to summarise:
In Standard Connect, you cannot trigger payouts from the connected account balance to a bank account- the payout schedule is controlled by the connected account holder as they manage the Stripe account.
If you use Express or Custom Connect, you as the platform can control when payouts from the connected account occur.

I want to make payment from credit card to 2 Paypal account users.
sender will not create either Paypal account or merchant account, he will send payment using only credit card.
Thank you for a help.
Parallel payments enable a sender to send a single payment to multiple receivers. For example, your application might be a shopping cart that enables a buyer to pay for items from several merchants with one payment. Your shopping cart allocates the payment to merchants that actually provided the items. PayPal then deducts money from the sender's account and deposits it in the receivers' accounts.
You've got two main options: use the Mass Pay Api or try out the new Adaptive Payment Api.
The Adaptive Payments option gives you a lot more control over the payment and is the future direction of the Paypal APIs, so that's where i'd start if i were you. It supports SOAP, NVP, JSON and plain XML. MassPay has both a SOAP and NVP interface.
IPNs are a totally different subject:Paypal
Hi we are creating a mobile app for marketplace where we are hoping to get eBay model implemented. Where buyer will pay the seller and we will take our cut from the seller. We actually don't want to get payment ourself for the sale and handle the disputes for order shipping or chargebacks.
When a sale is done on our app, the buyer should send the payment to the sellers paypal and then Paypal will handle all the other stuff regarding that like disputes or chargebacks.
I want seller to link his paypal account to our app and we will take permissions for future payments and maintain a record where we can calculate his fee regarding sales made on our platform. Paypal Mobile SDK support this feature.
But my question here is how can we automate the original purchase process? One option is when a sale is done, we will send invoice from seller side to the buyer (possible using Paypal REST API) and open invoice pay link on the buyer side. Once the buyer pay the invoice and transfer the funds to the seller we will know that sale is approved successfully because as a Paypal facilitator we have access to that invoice (we actually sent that invoice to the buyer as we have permissions of invoicing of seller account).
But what if we don't want invoicing system? Can we implement anything where buyer will send the funds to the seller without generating an invoice from our app. Like when a sale initiated, we will present buyer a page where he will pay directly to the seller (without us involved) and we will track that transaction and make outstanding cut on that sale?
My Research so far
Payapl mobile SDK for iOS don't allow us to take permissions for invoicing, we can take single, future or profile sharing permissions in app
Paypal Rest API allow us to take permissions for invoicing but not for future payments (that is necessary to take our cut from the seller's account)
If we use Paypal Mobile SDK, we can take funds in our account but not directly to our sellers account
Adaptive payments is an option where can take funds from buyers and after deducting our cut send the rest to the buyer but in that case we will be primary recipient and seller will be secondary, being a primary recipient we are responsible for shipping the product which at this stage we don't want. Want want to be seller as primary recipient
Any help regarding our situation would be greatly appreciated. We just want to automate the system somehow with the APIs and SDKs without being the primary recipient. Please give us suggestion to make this a reality. Thanks
Using any other payment gateway like Stripe or Braintree will not help here because in that case we will be taking money as registered merchants. We would really like to work with Paypal for handling all order related stuff
The Express Checkout API supports Parallel Payments, in which case you specify the SELLERPAYPALACCOUNTID in the request. This is where the money for that particular payment would be sent.
You can use this functionality even with a single payment on the order, though. So you can just setup a single payment and include that SELLERPAYPALACCOUNTID parameter, and the money will go directly to that account.
When doing this you can use your own API credentials and no permissions or anything are required from the 3rd party account to send the funds directly to them.
This PayPal PHP SDK will make the Express Checkout API calls very quick and easy for you, so you could just setup some simple PHP services to hit from your mobile app(s).
I need to implement chained payment with paypal pro. Can I do it as I can do in adaptive payments? Means doing payments to multiple receivers from one payer who does not have a PayPal account and can pay from his/her credit card.
You would not be able to do this with Website Payments Pro the same way that you use it for Adaptive Payments. The only way to split a payment in the Website Payments Pro flow is to process multiple DoDirectPayment API requests. You would either need to have all of the API credentials for all of the accounts that you are going to be making the API calls on, or you would need to have those accounts grant 3rd party permissions to your API credentials and then just pass over the email address of their PayPal account in the variable subject.
