No, you have to create the Application Fee at time the time of charge: https://stripe.com/docs/api/application_fees?lang=python

Alternatively, you could implement Separate Charges and Transfers, then just create the Transfer for the original amount minus the fee you want to charge. This is a way to collect a fee without explicitly using Application Fees

Creating separate charges and transfers

With Connect, you can make charges on your platform account on behalf of connected accounts, perform transfers separately, and retain funds in the process.

so for my application, I have an add-to-cart but The buyer can buy from multiple vendors and pay all in one transaction. So from my understnading, I just subtract the fee manually before every transfer to collect fee?

Yup. You would just send the Transfer, less the fee amount in that case
