👋 Hey @nova ingot ! I read the question 3 times but I unfortunately don't understand what most of it means yet. Can you explain this further by mapping it to Stripe's vocabulary? Like for us a Customer is the person paying and an Account represents the entity receiving the funds/providing the service.

My creators are express account

#

My viewers of the creators' content are customer

#

Viewers can have one time donate, or self defined subscription with self defined ammount and intervals using price_data

Okay so Customer John (cus_123) pays $10 for creator Alice (acct_123). You as the platform take $10 from John and send say $9 to Alice's account right?

Let me tell you more

Okay can you pause and explain cleanly all in one message in that case instead of many short sentences

So customer pays to product, not directly to creators, one product here is a digital content, I've created a product for each digital content, it would be kept updating by a group of creators, viewers could donate one time, or pay recurrly in self defined ammount and self defined intervals using subscription price_data inline payment.

Say after the previous payout to creators completed, now in this current self-defined intervals, viewers donate some one times, and some new and existing subscriptions paid, how do I fetch those new payments, collect platform fee and transfer the remaining funds to the group of creators?

Or does the collecting fees and transfering the remaing funds has to happen right after a customer pay? If that's the case, I see no problem of one time, I could start transfer immediately right after pay, but what about subscription?

And for moving funds from customers to my platform. Do I need to create charges to move those money to my platform account? When exactly should that happen, right after a user pays, or I don't need to, since those are already paid to my platform account

not sure what that could mean. Like $10 that you then split between different creator on your own?

$10, platform collect 14% fee, and the rest would split between the creators

#

how are you deciding who gets the money? Like is it set for a specific product? does it depend on usage that month?

nova ingot Oct 16, 2023, 6:28 PM

#

It doesn't depend on usage, it is set for a specific product, the product here is a kept-updating digital content

#

And each digital content is maintained by a group of people, hope it makes sense

#

Viewer only pays to digital content one time donate or recuriing using subscription

We're getting there 🙂
So I am John, I pay $10 about some say "video game content" and then I get access to content/video/whatever from 3 creators and you (the platform) take 14% and give the rest to those 3 creators

@nova ingot are you still around?
