Payouts & Connect

Onboard a trader as a Stripe Connect payee, then pay out the trading profit they've earned. The payout amount is computed by the validator — it's an estimate you read, not an arbitrary amount the user requests.

How it works

Create a Connect account → send the user to the Stripe onboarding link.
Stripe returns them to the return URL registered on your app row — in this app, /dashboard/payouts?onboarding=return.
The API learns the account is payout-enabled from Stripe's account.updated webhook. In local dev only, it also self-heals from Stripe on the next list call, since webhooks don't reach localhost.
Read the estimated payout owed. Disbursement is run by the platform, not by your app — there is no partner-callable endpoint to move money.

charges_enabled stays false — that's correct

These are payout-only Express accounts: the platform requests the transfers capability and nothing else, because the platform takes the payments, not the trader. Watch payouts_enabled — that is the flag that governs whether money can move, and status reads active once it flips.

Estimated payout (read-only)

The amount owed is computed from realized trading profit via the validator's high-water-mark. Read it; don't invent it.
