How do I test Stripe Express manual payouts in the test mode?

Question

I am working on a project which is a simple hirer-worker platform. I have used manual payouts to hold connected account balance. I wanted to test the payout after a worker has certain amount of balance in his connected account. But the balance shows up on Available Soon. I read the docs and it said that it requires 7-14 days for the first payout. Do I have to wait that long even in the test mode ?

Answer 1

Stripe provide test card numbers in their documentation that let you reproduce various flows such as specific card brand or card's country. They have a dedicated sub-section where they recommend using the card 4000000000000077 or its equivalent pm_card_bypassPending to create a payment that makes the funds immediately available in Test mode. This should allow you to test this flow on your connected accounts!
