We want merchants to pay the stripe commission. Then we want to receive our application fee from Stripe.
Nope, that's not how it works
You can see the funds flow here: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/direct-charges#flow-of-funds-with-fees
wispy cypress
Please look at this chart.
Confused. The customer is paying the merchant not the market place. The market place received the application fee afterwards. What have I misunderstood. Thanks
The merchant is paying the stripe commission
tardy tendon
This is Direct Charges which is the recommended flow for Standard Accounts.
If you wish the Platform to be the one the customer interfaces with then you would likely need to use a different funds flow and possibly different account types

I want the customer to pay the merchant. The platform has nothing to do with the transaction other than it earns an application fee. The merchant payment needs to be seen by the customer. How do we create a Merchant Payment Page link that will generate my application fee behind the scenes as per the chart above and redirects the customer to a specified web page for prcessing after payment.
Typo Merchant Payment Page
How does a market place get paid when a customer pays a merchant directly. The merchant is a standard connected account
We have to code the payment link / payment page somehow. Thats what we are trying to find out. Thanks
tardy tendon
You collect the application fee by specifying it when you create the Payment Intent on behalf of the Connected account
wispy cypress
Sure makes sense. How. Can't find anything about redirection in the api docs
tardy tendon
What do you mean redirection? I'm not clear on what surface the customer is interacting with. Stripe Checkout? Or something you build yourself?
wispy cypress
payment successful redirect user to success page url
tardy tendon
Okay but what APIs are you using?
wispy cypress
Please show me what api i should use that achieves this
tardy tendon
What do you mean by the "merchants payment page"? Would Stripe Checkout work? https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout/how-checkout-works
wispy cypress
Sure this is what we mean by the Merchant's Payment Page. 2 things need to happen. We need to code the redirection on success url and we need to get paid our application fee. We can't find out how. Now as the merchant I can build a payment link myself and set up redirection easy. But there is no mention of an application fee. How do we create this checkout page, ensure application fee payout and redirect to a nominated web page on success. Once we know how to do 1,2, and 3 we can do the rest.

- Get paid the application fee: You specify the application fee amount when you create the checkout session: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-payment_intent_data-application_fee_amount
- Redirect the customer: You specify the
success_urlwhen you create the Checkout session: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-success_url
wispy cypress
Sorry I do see in 1) Where you add the application fee. Can you kindly show me an example of the syntax
- Seems to refer to setting this up for my own account not a connected account
tardy tendon
You would just need to specify the Connected account using the Connected Account header
These examples are not exactly the Checkout Session but they show the same concept
wispy cypress
OK thanks for your help. Unfortunately I have run out of time. Catching a plane but i'll work on this on the plane. Thank you for your help. See you on thebother side
