There's not much difference, you can use either to achieve your goal. You can see these diagrams that explain how the funds flow:

What is your opinion? Is it helpful to show our customers the fees they have to pay, or is it better to just give them their money without them being able to see what fees have been deducted from it?
Or better question: Is my understanding correct? Is the only difference between these two possibilities, that in variant a (app-fee) our customer can see the fees and in variant b (amount) the customer cannot see the fees?
urban hound
That's correct.
It depends how much are they relying on Stripe interface. If you explain them clearly what's your fees in your own UI, it doesn't matter then.

When we use the application fee, is it possible to take a procentual fee?
And then when we get our application fee, when exactly are the taxes applied or due on that? As soon as we get the money from the application fee? Or only when we have the money paid out by Stripe to our company account?

You set the fee yourself, so you can calculate the way you want.
The taxes apply at the same time as the Stripe fee. So, as soon as the customer pays.

Ah so we have to write an algorithm that calculates the application fee? Because at the moment it is a fixed number, if we set it to "9" then only 9 Cent will be deducted. Is there an easy way to calculcate and set the fee to a percentage value?

You can calculate it in your code based on total amount.
