hey 🙂
application fee is set to 299 (£2.99)
but don't see any mention of this on the Express Checkout page

the application fee is purely internal to your app
it's not additive to what the customer pays

var details = { 'mode': 'payment', 'line_items[0][price]': priceID, 'line_items[0][quantity]': 1, 'payment_intent_data[application_fee_amount]': 299, 'payment_intent_data[transfer_data][destination]': clientID, ...
This is what I post to Stripe's API

OK
so if we wanted it to be an added cost...
we would need to do it on the Price object right?
stiff violet
I'm not sure which exact API you're using, the code examples you shared is likely specific to your app. But you you use the Create Checkout Session API https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create then yes
gentle bay
yes using that
so im just wondering what best practice would be for adding on the application fee...
like do I setup a new Price object with the price set as the application fee?
stiff violet
There isn't really a best practice that I can recommend other than "hiding it" really
Most platforms, they don't show their fee to the end customer. When you pay on Apple or Amazon or Shopify they don't show you the price of the object and then separate their fee right?
stiff violet
Yeah in that case you do 2 separate Product and Prices I think
gentle bay
gotcha...
one more question
is there like a commission option?
to set application fee as % of the price?
stiff violet
no, it's always a set amount for one-time payments. We support percentages for Subscriptions (because you don't know the final amount on a recurring basis)
