You can achieve this with Payment Links/Checkout: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout/pay-what-you-want

[hollow prism]

also the amount fee?

[cyan portal]

Yup, works with Connect!

[hollow prism]

wow nice!
Thanks 😄

Is it somehow possible to get a specific percentage from the paid amount just over the link?

[cyan portal]

Not possible right now, just a fixed amount

[hollow prism]

also not with the creation with the api?

[cyan portal]

Unfortunately not

[hollow prism]

ok thank 🙂

[cyan portal]

What's your account ID?

[hollow prism]

from the plattform account?

[cyan portal]

This is a common pain point for users, so I'm keen to share how its impacting users with the team

[hollow prism]

ah sounds great. My account id is acct_1I8W9ZK7gRZLSJmg

do you add me on an email list, when this feature comes?

[cyan portal]

It's not something we're actively working on, but we'll keep you in the loop

[hollow prism]

ok nice 👍

[hollow prism]

Hey me again 😅
Can I somehow manage it, that the connected account pays the stripe costs, but I also get the transaction fee?

[glad rose]

what does "get the transaction fee" mean exactly to you?

[hollow prism]

I gonna clarify it a bit:
Donation: 10 €
Plattfirm get: 2€
Connected get: 8 € - Stripe Costs

Then it's just a normal Connect integration with what we call Direct Charges : https://stripe.com/docs/connect/enable-payment-acceptance-guide

https://stripe.com/docs/connect/direct-charges

[hollow prism]

ok and this happends automaticaly when using payment links with choosable amount?

[glad rose]

no, I don't think PaymentLinks use Direct Charges that way, you have to use the guide I linked and call the API and write code.

it does all definitely work though, just try it out in test mode

[hollow prism]

ok. Can I initiate a debit from the connected Account, which will then be debited from the deposited Payout Account?

[glad rose]

why would you need to do that exactly? What's the use case?
There are Account Debits for that : https://stripe.com/docs/connect/account-debits but they're generally used for Express/Custom accounts which is a different platform set up then Standard accounts + Direct Charges and would require you to take on the liability for fees.

[hollow prism]

The customer only have an account number and I can not validate any numbers and neither get payment "the normal way". So I would like to get these funds from the connected account and stripe then can collected from the linked payout account.

[glad rose]

I don't understand. You can't charge the end-customer so you want to take money from the connected merchant?

[hollow prism]

nah, just want to charge the connected account, cause I cannot do it without stripe @glad rose

[glad rose]

I still don't really understand but there's no real way to do that. Account Debits as linked as one option. The usual option is you create a Customer on your platform by collecting payment details separately from the same person who owns the connected merchant, and you charge that customer directly.

[hollow prism]

ah ok. So I cant charge the connected account directly (the conncted is than in minus) and then stripes does not collect it automaticaly?

[glad rose]

not with Standard accounts, no.

You can with Express/Custom accounts, that's what Account Debits are for, but in that model you 'own' the connected account and have ultimate liability. For example, if we can't debit the connected accounts bank accounts successfully, we will approach you for the negative balance. If it's Standard, you don't have that kind of relationship with the merchant so we can't let you create a negative balance on them that they owe to Stripe and we have to try to take from them.

[hollow prism]

Ahh got the Point 😊
Thanks for clarify 👍
