Tipos de transacciones de saldo

Obtén más información sobre los diferentes tipos de transacciones de saldo que impliquen un movimiento de fondos en tu cuenta de Stripe.

Las transacciones de saldo son nuestro punto de partida recomendado para crear informes sobre la actividad del saldo de tu cuenta. Las creamos para cada tipo de transacción por la que hay un ingreso o salida de saldo de tu cuenta de Stripe.

Puedes crear informes que empleen las transacciones de saldo usando la API o Sigma.

Cuando recibes un pago por primera vez en tu cuenta, inicialmente lo reflejamos como un saldo pending (menos las comisiones de Stripe). Este saldo pasa a estar available en función del plazo de acreditación de las transacciones, que puede variar según el mercado, el método de pago o el tipo de transacción. El atributo status en las transacciones de saldo indica el estado del saldo. Para obtener más información, consulta Saldos y tiempo de acreditación de fondos.

Para clasificar las transacciones con fines contables, usa el campo reporting_category en lugar del campo type.

Fuente de transacciones de saldo

Las transacciones de saldo incluyen un campo source que contiene el ID del objeto de Stripe relacionado.

Usa la API para recuperar más información sobre la actividad de pago que provocó la creación de la transacción de saldo. Si usas Sigma, también puedes combinar la tabla balance_transactions con otras tablas mediante la columna source_id.

Tipos de transacciones de saldo

Puedes organizar los tipos de transacciones de saldo en diferentes grupos según la actividad subyacente que generó las transacciones de saldo.

Si no usas la API Connect o la API Issuing, tus transacciones de saldo pertenecen a los dos primeros grupos («relacionadas con cargos y pagos» o «relacionadas con cambios de saldo de Stripe»).

Balance transaction types related to charges and payments

These balance transaction types are related to creating and refunding charges as part of processing payments.

Type	Description
charge	Created when a credit card charge is created successfully.
payment	Created when a local payment method charge is created successfully.
payment_failure_refund	ACH, direct debit, and other delayed notification payment methods remain in a pending state until they either succeed or fail. You’ll see a pending Balance transaction of type `payment` when the payment is created. Another Balance transaction of type `payment_failure_refund` appears if the pending payment later fails.
payment_refund	Created when a local payment method refund is initiated. Additionally, if your customer’s bank or card issuer is unable to correctly process a refund (e.g., due to a closed bank account or a problem with the card) Stripe returns the funds to your balance. The returned funds are represented as a Balance transaction with the type `payment_refund`.
payment_reversal	Created when a debit/failure related to a payment is detected from a banking partner. This balance transaction takes funds that were previously credited to the merchant for a payment out of the merchant balance.
refund	Created when a credit card charge refund is initiated.
refund_failure	Created when a credit card charge refund fails, and Stripe returns the funds to your balance. This may occur if your customer’s bank or card issuer is unable to correctly process a refund (e.g., due to a closed bank account or a problem with the card).

Balance transaction types related to Stripe balance changes

These balance transaction types are related to changes that affect your Stripe balance such as payouts, fees and top-ups.

Type	Description

For example, some of the most common reasons for adjustments are: Refund failures. If your customer’s bank or card issuer is unable to correctly process a refund (e.g., due to a closed bank account or a problem with the card) Stripe returns the funds to your balance. The returned funds are represented as a Balance transaction with the type `adjustment`, where the description indicates the related refund object. Disputes. When a customer disputes a charge, Stripe deducts the disputed amount from your balance. The deduction is represented as a Balance transaction with the type `adjustment`, where the source object is a dispute. Dispute reversals. When you win a dispute, the disputed amount is returned to your balance. The returned funds are represented as a Balance transaction with the type `adjustment`, where the source object is a dispute. In the past, fees for Stripe software and services (e.g., for Radar, Connect and Billing) were represented as adjustments. In the past, Connect platform fee refunds were represented as adjustments. The `description` field on the Balance transaction describes the purpose of each adjustment.
advance	Incrementing funds as part of an advance operation to change the date that funds settle to your balance. For example, this can occur when you create an instant payout and the requested payout amount is greater than your available balance. Funds are credited to a new `available_on` date and debited from the original `available_on` date to cover the difference.
advance_funding	Decrementing funds as part of an advance operation to change the date that funds settle to your balance. For example, this can occur when you create an instant payout and the requested payout amount is greater than your available balance. Funds are credited to a new `available_on` date and debited from the original `available_on` date to cover the difference.

Balance transaction types related to Issuing

These balance transaction types are created as part of using the Issuing API.

Some merchants can also update an authorization to request an additional amount (e.g., to extend a hotel booking or add a tip), and this is also represented as a balance transaction with the type `issuing_authorization_hold`.
issuing_authorization_release	When an authorized purchase, made with an issued card, is captured by the merchant, the funds previously held for the authorization (`issuing_authorization_hold`) are released with a `issuing_authorization_release` balance transaction. Simultaneously, an issuing transaction is created, and the purchase amount is deducted from your Stripe balance in another balance transaction with the type `issuing_transaction`.
issuing_dispute	When you dispute an Issuing transaction and funds return to your Stripe balance.
