Approval-Triggered Co-Parenting Reimbursements
Review itemized receipts and split calculations before authorizing direct Stripe Connect payouts.

When a reimbursement request is approved, payment processing is executed by Stripe Connect directly to the receiving parent's bank account.
How should a reimbursement request move from review to payment?
A reimbursement request should separate review from payment authorization. The recipient first sees the expense details, receipt, category, date, and calculated share. Only after approving the request should the payment step begin. This sequence helps prevent accidental payments and preserves a clear record of what was reviewed and authorized.
Practical review checklist
- Review the receipt, amount, split calculation, and request date.
- Approve, partially approve, or dispute before opening the payment step.
- Keep the resulting payment status attached to the original expense record.
FairSplit uses Stripe Connect for integrated payment flows. Stripe documents that Payment Links can route payments to connected accounts and that the exact fund flow depends on the selected charge type. FairSplit displays applicable platform and processing fees before authorization and does not decide whether an expense is legally owed.
Primary sources and review standard
FairSplit separates sourced facts from product interpretation, discloses when it is the publisher or a compared product, and accepts evidence-backed corrections. Read the editorial policy and corrections process. Product guidance is not legal advice, and controlling orders and local law take priority.
