Balance

Scope: balance:read. Available in the sandbox, where it is always zero.

  }
}

Read straight from the ledger, not a cache. settling_minor will always be 0 until settlement is automated — the settlement object says so out loud so you do not have to infer it.

A developer seat on the dashboard cannot see the balance, deliberately; a key with balance:read can. Give that scope to the server that reconciles and withhold it from the one that takes payments.
