Hi!
thick spindle
Have you determined which type of Connected Accounts you are going to work with?
I'd start by reading through https://stripe.com/docs/connect/accounts
real cove
Yes I looked at it and I think the standard account is fine for what I want to do
thick spindle
Great then you want to work with Direct Charges + Application fees. So https://stripe.com/docs/connect/direct-charges is the doc to look at for that.
Have you decided on which integration flow you want to use? Like Stripe Checkout vs. an Elements custom flow?
real cove
Using as checkout either woocommerce or shopify
thick spindle
Are you using the WooCommerce/Shopify plugin integration where they control everything?
Or you are going to build this yourself?
real cove
Yes I am using their default systems I would like a program that I can use directly stripe side without having to go touch shopify or woocommerce?
thick spindle
Okay so then you basically want to integrate Checkout like we show here: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment and when you create the Checkout Sessions you create them directly on the Standard Accounts (see: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/authentication) and add an Application Fee (https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-payment_intent_data-application_fee_amount)
real cove
I need to go and edit the woocommerce checkout and shopify to use it like this
thick spindle
I'd recommend first reaching out to Shopify directly to see if they already have a plugin set up to do this for you.
real cove
Is there no other solution?
thick spindle
Otherwise, yes you would need to modify to take an app fee from their Checkout flow
real cove
For example as soon as an order arrives automatically it is moved to connect post checkout?
thick spindle
With Standard Accounts you create all the objects right on those Accounts.
So the payment takes place on the Connected Account and then you pull back a fee (the Application Fee) to your Platform account.
real cove
Using a type of connect account could avoid working in checkout?
thick spindle
Not sure what you mean by that exactly
real cove
For example by using a different account type on connect rather than the standard, can I send commissions from the sale of a product without having to go to shopify or woocommerce to edit the checkout?
thick spindle
That is all up to you and your integration
The account type has no impact.
We aren't familiar with the Shopify integration specifically
So I don't know the specifics of their integration at all.
You would need to reach out to them about that
real cove
I would like to avoid having to touch the checkout or edit it.
I would like the whole thing to happen automatically postcheckout
thick spindle
Then you need to talk to Shopify
And see if they support this type of integration out of the box
real cove
Okay, but I want to do it subsequently to shopify I want to leave the standard checkout them subsequently as soon as an order comes in the commission is done maybe with a cronjob every minute I don't know.
thick spindle
Okay that is a bit different
We would not recommend using Standard Accounts in that case.
I'd recommend using Express Accounts and you would need to create Transfers
You would also need to ensure your Connected Accounts are in the same region
real cove
For example if I have an account in france should my account be located in france?
thick spindle
You need to have a business in the location of your Stripe Account
real cove
i dont understand
