Okie I see that's Direct Charge. What's your question?
rocky hemlock
I've followed this guide here (photo above) which gives me this flow (photo above), but as mentioned I want the flow where the connected account pays the stripe fees, not me.

I see. Let clarify a bit here
The first 2 screenshot is Direct Charge used with Standard account. The next 2 screenshots is Destination Charge used with Express/Custom account. They are 2 entirely different fund flow
Direct Charge = Connected Account bears the Stripe fee. Destination Charge means Platform bears the Stripe fee.
But really not just who is bearing the fee, there are bunch more conditions you need to consider to make the decision of choosing which flow
ie. in Destination Charge yes Platform bear the fee, but you can adjust the application_fee_amount to cover it

okay i am currently using destination charges i believe with an express account
what is the current stripe fee?
lofty dagger
it will depend on the country of the Platform account

US

If you have a specific Transaction, you can look at its Balance Transaction

okay i am currently using destination charges i believe with an express account
since this is the guide i am following: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/collect-then-transfer-guide
No, i have not gone live yet

Test mode transaction works too
US should be 2.9% + 30c
You can create some Test transaction and look at it on your Dashboard
or retrieve the Balance Transaction via API
Looking at this property: https://stripe.com/docs/api/balance_transactions/object#balance_transaction_object-fee_details

What is the difference between the guide you linked and the one here:
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/collect-then-transfer-guide

lofty dagger
You just ... follow the Doc link I provided. I has the sample code. You write your own code
