Hi 👋

hello

#

The choice of charge types is tightly coupled with the types of Connect Accounts. Direct Charges are the correct charge types to use with Standard Connect Accounts. Destination Charges are one of the two potential charge types when working with Express or Custom accounts

#

There are a lot of problems that occur when platforms start using charge types that are not designed to work with the types of Connect accounts being used

narrow shore Aug 12, 2022, 5:15 PM

#

We have an express account type but we use direct charges.

👋 stepping in as Snufkin had to step away

narrow shore Aug 12, 2022, 5:18 PM

#

ok thanks

limpid shore Aug 12, 2022, 5:18 PM

#

So yeah if you are using Express then Destination is the recommended flow.

#

Are you planning on using on_behalf_of with Destination?

narrow shore Aug 12, 2022, 5:18 PM

#

what should we look out for when switching

limpid shore Aug 12, 2022, 5:18 PM

#

This would be the major consideration, as it will keep the charges using the Connected Account info

#

Other than that, you want to determine whether you are still going to take an application fee, or just transfer less than the whole amount of the charge.

#

Either way is fine

#

The App fee may help make your reporting easier.

#

can we just update that in the API or do we need to cancel all subscriptions for Connect users?

limpid shore Aug 12, 2022, 5:23 PM

#

If you have Subscriptions currently running via Direct Charges then you would have to cancel them and recreate them to move to Destination Charges. However, Subscriptions don't currently support on_behalf_of out of the box.

#

If you do want to utilize on_behalf_of with Subscriptions then I would recommend reaching out to our Support team (https://support.stripe.com/contact/login) and asking if that is something that can be supported for your account.

#

on_behalf_of is destination charges

#

app_fee is direct charges

#

??

#

Have you read: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/destination-charges#settlement-merchant ?

narrow shore Aug 12, 2022, 5:26 PM

#

I have not

#

does this change any of the following:

our dispute responsibilities
how and who determines the Stripe fees

#

(I will read that doc you sent now)

limpid shore Aug 12, 2022, 5:27 PM

#

Yes all of that will change

#

Well... kind of.

#

Those things do change to your platform

narrow shore Aug 12, 2022, 5:28 PM

#

currently we have an issue of sometimes not charging enough for international payments to cover our stripe cost for the transaction

limpid shore Aug 12, 2022, 5:29 PM

#

Ah okay, well there are a couple ways to fix that.

#

But let's come back to that

narrow shore Aug 12, 2022, 5:30 PM

#

ok

limpid shore Aug 12, 2022, 5:32 PM

#

So first, give a full read through https://stripe.com/docs/connect/destination-charges

#

Then let me know what questions you have about destination charge behavior

narrow shore Aug 12, 2022, 5:34 PM

#

will do
