Hello 👋
With Destination Charges, platform would be responsible for the fees. That's the expected flow.
There's no way to pass it off to the connected account automatically. You can increase your application fees and then once Stripe fees have been charged, transfer the remaining amount back to the connected account

Can we consider specific case, for example: app_fee is $5, product price is $100. Stripe fee (2.9% + 30 cents) = $3.35. So we should increase app_fee from $5 to $8.85 and then?

There's no way to know the exact amount of Stripe fees that'd be charged per transaction as it depends on various things. But yeah in general you'd want to play around with different amounts and see what works for you

One more question, by increasing the app_fee, stripe fee will be increased also, right? In my case amount from which stripe fee is calculated = $105, but after "adjustments" $108.35, right?

Correct. Like I mentioned earlier, Platform is ultimately responsible for fess with Destination Charges 🙂
The only way to completely pass it off to the connected account is by using Direct Charges

But by using direct charge we can't use save payment method, right? It was the reason why we select destination charges

You can save payment methods on the platform account and clone it across connected accounts when you need to use em

And it possible to use direct charges?
graceful juniper
Depending on the type of the connected account you're creating, it might be possible.
We recommend using Direct Charges with Standard accounts only
