How to know when a deposit happens on a stripe virtual account - stripe-payments

I generated a stripe ACH account as highlighed in this doc. How do I get notified when this deposit happens so I can give user value for there payment.
I am looking at using webhooks but I can not find what the structure of data stripe will send looks like.

How to make custom payment to a customer

I am looking for a way to make payment to a customer like a business do.
for eg. a business will ask you to fill the form with bank name, acoount number IFSC code etc.
so customer can receive a payment.
I have user who is having a digital wallet with some amount.
I want to transfer the amount to user's provided bank account on the request.
I saw stripe documentation but I am not sure if stripe support custom payment.
Stripe provides refund as per below method where I have to provide charge id string
and because of charge id stripe will refund only the amount which was charged earlier and this is linked to particular charge only.
const stripe = require('stripe')('your_stripe_key');
const refund = await stripe.refunds.create({
charge: 'charge_id_string',
amount: 100,
});
I want to make custom payment/refund so I can transfer users wallet available balance to bank account.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
I don't think you should use Refund because you can only create a refund based on an existing charge.
You should probably look at Transfer, which allows you to send funds from your Stripe account to a connected account. In your use case, you should create a connected account for your customer so that you can transfer refunds to your customer and eventually payout to their bank account.

When receiving a `payout.created` Stripe webhook, what is the easiest way to determine which Stripe Connect Custom account it is for?

(Stripe api version: 2020-08-27)
I am working on setting up Stripe to create payouts automatically each week to our Stripe Connect accounts with earnings.
I want my own api to listen for the payout.created Stripe webhook, so I can record and track the event data in my local database. However, I don't see any easy way to tell which Stripe Connect account the newly created payout is for, by looking at the object's properties (API reference).
I was going to try and make the determination by looking at the $payout->destination property, which would give me the bank account the payout was for. I could then retrieve that bank account and see which user it relates to. However, in order to retrieve a bank account, I have to already know the customer id, and I don't have that info. I'm not even dealing with a customer here, I'm dealing with a service provider that has earnings that we need to pay. The bank account is not the same thing as the stripe connect account.
How do I deal with this? Seems weird that it would be so difficult to figure out who the payout is for.

Xero Workflow and payment accounts when creating paid invoices via API?

I'm trying to work out the correct method of attributing payments on invoices that are automatically created after a user purchases something on site, payment handled by Stripe (or other payment gateway). Here is the current flow from user action to Xero interaction (all working fine):
User purchases membership on site
Payment is processed by Stripe on-site
If payment is successful, an Invoice is generated in Xero (and a contact if it doesn't exist)
Payment is added to the invoice immediately after it is generated, and it's status is set to Paid.
Paid invoice is emailed to new member from Xero
Stripe deposits money in nominated business account each day
I have two questions about this workflow
What is the normal practise for dealing with PaymentAccount when applying a payment? Should we create a new payment account just for Stripe? A new "Bank" account for Stripe? The context of this question is selecting the correct PaymentAccount ID for the payment when creating the invoice.
Will reconciliation still be possible for these paid invoices when Stripe sends payments (assuming they send itemised payments)? Even if the money is deposited in a different (Real) account integrated in Xero?
Thanks
Your questions about stripe are more appropriate in Xero forums, since they are bookkeeping questions not API qestions.
Stripe can provide a bank feed to Xero, and you should set this up.
This means you have a Stripe bank account, which is the therefore the payment account. Payment reconcilations are easy (but can't be done via API).
The actual deposit of real money into a real bank account will be a consolidated amount typically called a 'settlement', typically one day of transactions, less fees, refunds and possible timing issues etc. The Stripe bank feed will have an entry for this. It is reconciled by a Xero user as a bank transfer between the Stripe bank and the real bank, and is nothing to do with the payment on the invoice.

Stripe transfer receipt

I am developing app where transfer money from platform to connect when completing some task.
And then my app customers can get money in their stripe account.
I think they need to get receipt for getting earning when using my app but I can't see how to send receipts to customer's email for transferring.
I know it can by specifying receipts_email when charing and refund but no such stuff in transfer object.
How can my app send receipt to customer for transferring ?
if it's impossible what is providing instead in stripe?
Really I need to get help.
Thank you.
The email receipt feature is only available for Charges which happen when you charge a Customer's card. This is documented here: https://stripe.com/docs/receipts
Stripe does not send email receipts when you transfer funds to a connected account or when funds are sent to their own bank accounts. This is something that you would need to build on your side instead based on the funds you're sending to them.

User to user payment on stripe

My requirement is, from my application I want my user to transfer the amount to another user of my application. Assume that both user have stripe account. I have gone through stripe docs, and I understood that in order to do transfer from one user account to another I need to use stripe connect. I could able to do authentication and I'm getting access token successfully for the sender. How can I make a transfer to a recipient ? I have only recipient's email id with me. Should I need to create a recipient through code and do the transfer using that recipient id returns from stripe ?
Im using php. Please help me.
Stripe Connect doesn't work like that. Instead, Connect allows an application to make card charges on behalf of a user and take a portion of the amount. The rest is automatically and immediately put into the user's Stripe account, where it's subject to the normal bank account transfer rules (2-7 day rolling transfers or API-driven manual transfers).
Another way to do this is using Stripe Recipients and Transfers. For example, your application charges a customer $10. You create a Recipient for your user using their bank account information (account number and routing number). Then, you can create a Transfer from your Stripe account to their bank account. Note that this only works for US bank accounts as of today.
If you really want to do user to user transfers, unfortunately Stripe isn't the platform for you. You could use PayPal or you could possibly use Balanced Payments, although again you can only transfer money to and from US bank accounts.
