Stripe Payout to User

Anvil Q&A
1

Hi!
I’d like to create a payout system to pay users, ideally to their bank account directly. Can this be done with the stripe.Payout.create() function of the API? If so, how?

Thanks!
Andrew

From what I can see in the docs, it looks as if the account receiving the payout needs to be linked to a Stripe account. Would this be the case in your instance?

I was hoping to pay users through Stripe Connect, and prompt the user to create a Stripe account from within my Anvil site. I tried doing a lot of the security/handshaking/connection described in the Stripe Connect documentation, but was a little intimidated by the security side and couldn’t get it to work on Anvil. The last month or so I’ve been paying customers manually, but there are now too many to keep track of and I had to shut it down until I can automate this securely. My general user story is User 1 submits a payment via stripe-> I process this and take a small percentage-> money is sent to User 2 (who may not have a Stripe account yet) Any ideas? Thanks so much!
