Transcript what's up welcome back in this series we're building out a platform for creators we're embedding finance so that they can store and send funds and in this episode you're going to learn all about making payouts between your payments balance and your financial account balance so let's get into it right now we have a little bit of money in our payments balance that we received through a payment on a payment link and we want to move that into our financial account balance and the way we're going to do that is with a payout so let's generate a new controller we're using rails here we're going to call this controller the payouts controller and really it should just be a create action here that allows us to move money from the uh the available balance on our payments balance to the connected account or to the financial account balance so we're going to uh before action require that the user is logged in and what we want to do is figure out how much money we want to transfer and then move that over so this stripe account class is a set of methods and helpers that are that enable us to interact with the stripe api for connected accounts and financial accounts and what we want to do now is create a new way for us to move money with a payout so i'm going to make a new method here called payout and inside of here we're going to make an api call to create a payout and this payout is going to have some amount that we're going to look into in a minute and we don't need to pass in a destination this header again is going to include the stripe account id for this current connected account so this amount is actually going to be the payments balances so payments balances dot available dot first dot amount so when we say payout that should create a new payout and move the money into this new account so let's go back to our payouts controller so we need to initialize a new stripe account object so we'll call this the service we're going to say stripe account dot new currentuser.account and then we're going to say service.payout and we'll redirect to um the accounts path okay now we need some button on the dashboard actually let's go back to the dashboard dashboard path so we need a button on the dashboard that will allow us to move the money i was thinking it would be kind of cool to have the uh a button between these two panes here that had a down arrow so that it would show that we're gonna we're gonna move money from the payments balance to the financial account balance i'm not sure if that's very clear but uh hopefully tailwind ui has a component that will make it look nice i guess we can use these buttons and maybe there's one with an icon on the right side that looks pretty cool and we'll drop that in here and we're actually going to use a form and the action is going to be slash payouts the method is going to be post and we're going to say that should be good okay now let's go to hero icons and find a button or an icon hero icons for a down arrow let's see down okay um i don't know i kind of like this chevron double down arrow and yeah so let's copy the svg and then we're going to use that here all right and this is going to be payout okay let's see what that looks like oh my gosh we copied too many of them all right so how come we have so many oh we copied a whole bunch of buttons alright so let's delete all of those ones and we don't need the super ridiculously massive button i think we can probably do padding to padding to let's see all right that's pretty nice let's give it margin top of four oh you know what we need we also need to have our input type is hidden the name is authenticity token all right one last thing let's disable turbo on this cla on this form so we're gonna say data turbo is false and we're gonna refresh the page and click payout that's gonna make the api call to stripe to create the payout and it should come back all right let's see where this is not working so payouts controller is do we have a route for this yet so route should be resources payouts only all right let's look in the logs here and see what's going on so we click on payout the button type here needs to be type submit okay click on payout all right it's doing something nice okay so now available is zero and the cash down here is 2234 and now it's 31.75 okay so it takes just a minute for it to actually land in the the cash balance there um okay so that is pretty cool what i'm wondering is if we want to wait to redirect or something so there is a little bit of a race condition there we can figure that out later okay so this is how you move money from your payments balance to your financial account balance thanks so much for watching and we'll see you in the next one [Music] --- [Back to all videos](https://www.cjav.dev/videos) --- ##
