👋 happy to help

The summary question would be - Is there a way to get the stripe fees for a charge before making that charge?
Short answer not really

[pallid cradle]

ah, i see. do you know how this use case might be solved by other people? are they just setting a rather big fee that would definitely cover the max stripe fee in any country?

or maybe they do indeed keep a list of the stripe fees manually and check? and if so, do you know of a resource where these are listed? currently I can only see them by accessing each country's individual landing page

that's one way to solve it, another one would be to create a separate charge and transfer

We've done it by charing large fee like 8% to cover Stripe's fees 🙂 Also Connect here + Express but we're MoR

@shell cape for the separate charge and transfer, I see that if we want to stil use the on_behalf_of - it's still the connected accounts fee structure being used https://stripe.com/docs/connect/separate-charges-and-transfers#on-behalf-of https://share.zight.com/nOuQmyDA

we might try to actually compile a list with rates. not sure if those are compiled anywhere?

@gilded cairn ah, i see. yeah we don't want to be MoR so not sure we can use nothing near 8% - thanks for the insights though, really helpful

Oh I didn't capture the OBO constraint, sorry about that
