Hello! You can use the Search API to do that, yep: https://stripe.com/docs/api/pagination/search

Hello Rubeus, with the collected fees I get from foreign countries like GBP will I collect them in USD on GBP?
mild oriole
That depends on the specific payment scenario. You can find out more here: https://stripe.com/docs/currencies/conversions
simple oar
It doesn't talk about the collected fees.
My scenario is that we have a seller who is from UK, and they're selling an item for 100USD (We are displaying USD for the prices but it the payment will be converted to GBP for that seller), and then we take a 50% fee.
mild oriole
Oh, so this is a Connect scenario?
simple oar
In Stripe's dashboard we saw that the 50% fee was converted to GBP as well, will I need to convert this back to USD?
Yes it is in a connect scenario
mild oriole
Gotcha, we have a separate guide for multiple currencies with Connect here: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/currencies
simple oar
I've just went over the documentation
and from my understanding, if I use transfer_data[amount].
Then I can get the application fee in USDC while the connected account will still receive it in GBP, did I understand that correctly?

Are you referring to "Destination charges without on_behalf_of"? Yes that should be correct
simple oar
But I have to use on_behalf_of because otherwise it flags an error in my transaction
Is there anyway that I can retain the collection fee for my platform in USD without it getting converted into GBP?
woeful valley
What error is that?
You can switch to Separate Charges and Transfers too, it doesn't matter with on_behalf_of and you will always keep your part in your currency
simple oar
Okay thanks, I'll change my implementation from Destination charges to separate charges.
About the metadata searching. We're not searching it via API but more on the Stripe dashboard if it can be done
