Hi there. Are you getting a specific error? Can you share that here? I believe application fees aren't possible with Mexican connect accounts with US platforms
ebon bronze
Yes, that's the error. I was just hopping that you'd have a workaround 😓
```Request req_FXCMha7wvCtQaS: You can only apply an 'application_fee' when the request is attempting a direct payment on behalf of another account (using an OAuth key or the Stripe-Account header) or destination payment (using transfer_data[destination]).
Are you using destination charges? If so, you can just transfer a lower amount to the Connect account to account for the application fee
ebon bronze
Yes, we're using destination charges. Ok, so I just do a transfer with the application_fee_amount from the Connected account to our Account, correct?
knotty spruce
Oh no
But I just took a look at the request
You never specify transfer_data[destination]`
That means the funds are never being transfered to the connect account
You'd have to specify transfer_data[destination]
This is for req_FXCMha7wvCtQaS
Can you first try to issue the request and specify the transfer_data
ebon bronze
ohh ok, let me try
knotty spruce
I suspect you'll still get an error since it's mexico -> us but let me know and we can go from there
ebon bronze
I do not get an error, but i think it ignores the application fee
actually, in the object it appears the application_fee_amount. Let me make the payment to check if it works somehow
ebon bronze
Yes, on Payment i get an error:
So you say if I remove the application_fee and make a transfer to the Platform's account should it do the job?
knotty spruce
Yeah that's what I thought. No what I was saying is you can remove the application fee param and just transfer less money to the connect account
For example if you have a charge for $100 and you want a $20 application fee, you can just transfer 80$ to the connect account here: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/create#create_payment_intent-transfer_data-amount
