Hi there

You can set metadata, but otherwise no way to tie it together

(The metadata would be on the invoice to clarify)

(You can't set metadata on a balance transaction)

I’m using the stripe api and when I retrieve the balance transaction using the id, I don’t see anything that points to the invoice. Where would the meta data show up?

[opal quiver]

Nothing ties it together by default

I'm stating if you wanted to track this yourself somehow then you could update metadata to do that

[wooden crater]

Would you be able to look up a balance transaction for me?

[opal quiver]

I can look at it, but I'll mostly just see what you see

Is your goal here to be able to know which Invoices caused the fee in your balance transaction?

[wooden crater]

The type property of this balance transaction is “stripe_fee”

Source is null

The amount itself is fee

ReportingCategory is “fee”

It’s different from a balance transaction for a charge. That I can trace back to the invoice.

To answer your question, that is correct. I’d like to tie the fee to the invoice(s) the fee was for.

Yeah as far as I know this isn't really possible via the API. I think there may be a way to do it via Dashboard Reports, but I really don't know much about the Dashboard as I focus on the API. I think you'll be better off reaching out to our Support team about this (https://support.stripe.com/contact/login) as they know much more about the Dashboard and can let you know if there is a non-API way to tie this fee to the specific Invoices.

Ok, thank you!
