# Start Stripe Funding

POST https://live.tradovateapi.com/v1/fundTransaction/startstripefunding
Content-Type: application/json

### Start a saved-card or Apple Pay or Google Pay debit-card deposit.**Available to:** All authenticated users**Environments:** Live**[Rate Limit](/connect/overview/core-concepts/rate-limits):** 20 requests per rolling hour, 3-second back-off, counts all requests, CAPTCHA enabled**CAPTCHA fallback:** If a penalty response includes `p-captcha: true`, stop API retries and do not retry with `p-ticket`. A server-side integration cannot solve the reCAPTCHA challenge. Direct the user to the [NinjaTrader-hosted funding flow](/connect/overview/partner-integration/embedding-funding-page-with-i-frame), or wait approximately one hour for the penalty count to clear before resuming API calls.Use this endpoint for the deposit operation after checking eligibility.**Saved Card**Send `accountId`, `amount`, `currencyId`, and NinjaTrader's approved numeric `fundingMethodId`. The method must have been approved by ANI or a successful Dyneti scan and must not be archived.**Apple Pay or Google Pay**Use Stripe Express Checkout in the user's client to create a confirmation token. Send `accountId`, `amount`, `currencyId`, `stripeConfirmationToken`, and `flowType: WalletFunding`. Wallet funding does not call `addStripeDebitCard` and does not run ANI or Dyneti.**Warning:** The generated schema also exposes `stripePaymentMethod`, `signature`, and `date`. The supported partner flows use either `fundingMethodId` or `stripeConfirmationToken`; do not use the legacy fields as a direct-deposit path.**Warning:** HTTP 200 does not guarantee the deposit succeeded. A successful deposit, a canceled deposit, and another terminal Stripe outcome can each return an empty body with no `errorText`. Do not credit the deposit from this response alone.Before calling this endpoint, retrieve the account's existing [`CashBalanceLog` entries](/connect/api/rest-api-endpoints/accounting/cash-balance-log-dependents) and record the highest `id`. After the call, poll that endpoint with the same `accountId` as `masterid`. Confirm the deposit only after a newer entry appears with the requested `currencyId`, a positive `delta` equal to the deposit amount, and `cashChangeType: FundTransaction`. An empty `startStripeFunding` response without that matching ledger entry is not confirmation; do not retry the charge blindly. If your integration cannot perform this reconciliation, use the [NinjaTrader-hosted funding flow](/connect/overview/partner-integration/embedding-funding-page-with-i-frame).**Common Failure Scenarios**- Account is closed or restricted
- Eligibility check fails
- Saved funding method is absent, unapproved, archived, or does not belong to the account holder
- Another fund transaction for the account is in progress
- Wallet token has no wallet PaymentMethod preview
- Wallet type is not Apple Pay or Google Pay
- Card is not debit or the cardholder name does not match
- User has a declined card under review**Related Endpoints**- Use [`checkStripeFundingEligibility`](/connect/api/rest-api-endpoints/funds/check-stripe-funding-eligibility) immediately before the deposit.
- Use [`addStripeDebitCard`](/connect/api/rest-api-endpoints/funds/add-stripe-debit-card) and, conditionally, [`processDyScanResult`](/connect/api/rest-api-endpoints/funds/process-dy-scan-result) to prepare a saved card.
- Use [`cashBalanceLogDependents`](/connect/api/rest-api-endpoints/accounting/cash-balance-log-dependents) to confirm that the deposit posted.
- Do not use `submitDebitCardFunding` as the deposit operation.
