In the destination flow, which fields determine the recipient and the transfer amount?

• A. application_fee_amount and transfer_data[amount]
• B. transfer_data[destination] and currency
• C. transfer_data[destination] and transfer_data[amount]
• D. currency and transfer_data[amount]

Answer: (C)

In the destination flow, who gets paid and how much they receive are controlled directly by the transfer_data fields. The recipient is determined by transfer_data[destination], which specifies the connected account that will receive the funds. The amount sent to that recipient is determined by transfer_data[amount], which sets exactly how much of the charge goes to the destination account (in the smallest currency unit, e.g., cents). Currency defines the charge’s currency and isn’t used to pick the recipient or set the transfer amount. (If you’re also using an application fee, that affects how much remains before the transfer, but it doesn’t redefine the recipient or the transfer amount in this context.)
