I am not able to create a direct payment from backend

hi! what's the context exactly? Generally if you are able to go to dashboard.stripe.com and login, that's a full/Standard Stripe account.

#

I am not able to create a direct payment from backend
what code are you using and what exact error message do you get?

#

here's the snippet, parameters are dynamic

#

        amount: amount,
        currency: currency,
        payment_method_types: ['card'],
        payment_method_options: {
          card: {
            capture_method: 'manual',
          },
        },
        confirm: true,
        customer:customerId,
        payment_method: nonce,
        //application_fee_amount:platformFee
      });

#

I am unable to charge the application fee

#

you need to make that request on a connected account, which that code does not.

#

i.e. you need to pass stripeAccount : https://stripe.com/docs/connect/direct-charges#create-a-charge

#

what guide are you following? I suggest using https://stripe.com/docs/connect/enable-payment-acceptance-guide .

#

okay, can we charge platform fees for our application? with this code?

deep quail Sep 21, 2022, 9:14 AM

#

not sure what you mean

#

you can use our Connect product(Standard Connect with Direct charges) to :

connect your platform to a user's Stripe account
call the API to process a payment between that account and an end-customer
take an application fee which is a "cut" of the payment for your own platform

that's what the guide linked above is for.

#

was there something else you were trying to do?

#

okay that's the usecase I had to implement. Thanks for the help, so I can use the direct charge, right? to take the application fee for my own platform.

Yes as my colleague mentioned above.
In the same page, you can find a diagram that explain that flow

It's not recommended to use Direct Charges with Express connected Account
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/direct-charges#create-a-charge:~:text=Using direct charges is recommended for Standard accounts

Yes if you want to work with direct charges
