stripe pay

Use stripe pay to send money from the authenticated Stripe business to another Stripe business identified by a Stripe Profile handle, for example @recipient.

The stripe pay command is for business-to-business money transfers. Both the sender and the receiving business must have a Stripe Profile. In addition:

• The sender needs a funded financial account.
• The receiver needs an eligible transfer destination linked to their Stripe Profile.

If the user needs details about financial accounts, read Money Management. The command resolves the recipient’s payout configuration, which can route the payout to an attached financial account or linked bank account, and reports the fee and delivery timing before confirmation. Don’t assume that a transfer is free or instant.

Safety Rules

1. Don’t send money unless the user explicitly asks you to make the transfer.
2. Before running a command that can send money, show the exact stripe pay ... command you plan to run and get confirmation.
3. Use --agent or --json first so the user can review the transfer details.
4. Don’t pass -y or --yes until after the user confirms the reviewed transfer.
5. Don’t guess at the user’s intent. Don’t guess at the username, financial account ID, amount, currency, internal note, memo, or any other detail. Always confirm with the user.
6. Don’t print full API keys back to the user.
