stripe: No such external account but the external account do exist

Question

I create an account in stripe under test module by stripe api. And bind a bank account with this account. Go to Stripe dashboard -> connect -> accounts, I could see the account which I created. Click it and to see the detail, I could see the external accounts:

but when I want to create a payout to this bank account:

curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/payouts    \
     -u sk_test_*********:   \  
     -d amount=400     \
     -d currency=usd    \
     -d destination=ba_1CrVQnJziGn15h8UAvSlEUfI    \
     -d source_type=bank_account

It gives me error:

{
  "error": {
    "code": "resource_missing",
    "doc_url": "https://stripe.com/docs/error-codes/resource-missing",
    "message": "No such external account: ba_1CrVQnJziGn15h8UAvSlEUfI",
    "param": "destination",
    "type": "invalid_request_error"
 }
}

@BHARATGUPTA finally I changed to Stripe Express Account. Easy to manage and implement — sydridgm, Jun 11 '19 at 16:20

Here's the correct code to do this.

When trying to list payouts on a connected account, you have to make the API request authenticating as this account so in addition to the destination bank account ID you need to pass the stripe account ID.

payouts = Stripe::Payout.list(
  {:destination => external_account},
  {:stripe_account => "acct_XXXXXX"},
)

According to Stripe docs, in order to create Payouts for connected accounts you must specify the connected account on the request:

curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/payouts \
  -u {PLATFORM_SECRET_KEY}: \
  -H "Stripe-Account: {{CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID}}" \
  -d amount=1000 \
  -d currency=usd
