HI 👋

#

Hmmmm....Payment Links are intended to be generic and represent a mechanism to allow for multiple payments.

#

They might work in this case but using Checkout Sessions would allow for greater flexibility

Thank you! Looks like I would set the payment_intent_data.on_behalf_of to the contractor Stripe Account ID?

#

Yup.

#

There's also the payment_intent_data.transfer_data.destination parameter

Thank you! So if I don't include anything in payment_intent_data.transfer_data.amount then it will transfer the entire payment amount to whoever i put in payment_intent_data.transfer_data.destination?

Yup

#

You determine how much your platform retains by either specifying an amount less than the total charge or by setting the payment_intent_data.application_fee_amount

#

Cool. Our intention is to actually eat the Stripe fees ourselves and pay the contractor the full amount intended by the company A. Will that require any more special settings?

#

Hmmmm...I'm not 100% sure. You can see the funds flow for destination charges here: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/destination-charges#flow-of-funds-app-fee

#

That Stripe fees are assessed on the application fee amount. So i think you'll be good but I would run some tests to be sure.

#

so test mode includes destination fees? (not real ofc)

spiral stone Aug 22, 2022, 4:26 PM

#

Yes. You should be able to examine your balance transactions and see the fees deducted
