Hello 👋
Can you share a screenshot of what exactly you're looking at? Want to make sure I am on the same page 🙂

#

Typically, When you collect a transaction fee on top of a charge made for your user (using Connect), an Application Fee object is created in your account.

Please explain in a different way? I am not understanding.

#

Sure thing. Are you familiar with Stripe Connect?

cinder blade Jan 10, 2023, 4:24 PM

#

No

#

Ah hmm 🤔
So Stripe Connect allows you to collect Payments and route it between multiple parties. Like how uber, lyft, doordash collect payments and then distributes it between drivers and restaurants etc.

#

Let's take DoorDash for example

#

With Stripe Connect, DoorDash is a Platform application that allows customers to order food and get it delivered.

#

In addition to that it allows restaurants to deliver in places they may not usually deliver

#

And for this they charge a fee per transaction

#

Which is what an Application fee is theoretically.

#

does that clarify?

#

Yes, a little. In our case, these are sales made in Comment Sold. Would this be our "application"

fossil fog Jan 10, 2023, 4:29 PM

#

Yup, exactly. So "Comment Sold" might be charging you a fee per transaction.

#

Ok - sounds like they are. And that would show in our Stripe account, correct?

#

That's what we're seeing, we just want to be sure we know who to ask about what fee

Yup I believe that's what you're seeing! 🙂
