What's the relationship between affiliator and you, is affiliator a connected account that use the service that your platform provides?

opaque sky Oct 31, 2023, 8:25 AM

#

exactly

wild gyro Oct 31, 2023, 8:26 AM

#

Is the connected account a standard account or express account?

opaque sky Oct 31, 2023, 8:26 AM

#

standard account

wild gyro Oct 31, 2023, 8:27 AM

#

Ok, I assume you are using direct charge? https://stripe.com/docs/connect/direct-charges

Creating direct charges

With Connect, you can make charges directly on the connected account and take fees in the process.

opaque sky Oct 31, 2023, 8:29 AM

#

but we're providing monthly based subscription

wild gyro Oct 31, 2023, 8:30 AM

#

You can do direct charge with subscription as well

#

You should specify a stripe_account in the request.

By specifying a stripe_account, you are telling Stripe that you want to make an API call on behalf of a connected account. You can refer to this doc to learn more about making API request for connected account (https://stripe.com/docs/connect/authentication)

Making API calls for connected accounts

Learn how to add the right information to your API calls so you can make calls for your connected accounts.

#

can you share the exact link or method

#

because I have not found it

#

I have already implemented authentication part

wild gyro Oct 31, 2023, 8:31 AM

#

So basically you just need to specify the stripe_account header in the request to make an API call on connected account.

#

Are you collecting an application fee?

opaque sky Oct 31, 2023, 8:32 AM

#

no

wild gyro Oct 31, 2023, 8:33 AM

#

Also help me to understand your business model. If I'm the affiliator and I'm accepting a $10 subscription from a customer. Am I expecting to get $10 + 10% * $10 = $11 ?

We currently offer monthly subscription-based AI services. We are planning to introduce an affiliate program, where users can connect their Stripe account to our platform. They will then be able to create referrals and share them with others who can use our platform's services. When someone purchases a subscription through an affiliate's referral link, we aim to send 10% of the subscription amount to the affiliate's Stripe account in real-time, immediately after the user's purchase

wild gyro Oct 31, 2023, 8:39 AM

#

Is my understanding correct? if not, can you walk me through with an example?

opaque sky Oct 31, 2023, 8:40 AM

#

I'm sharing a example with you

#

I run a platform that offers subscription-based services for $100 per month. I'm planning to launch an affiliate program, where you can connect your Stripe account to our platform. Once connected, you'll receive a referral link that you can share with your friends. If any of your friends purchase a subscription through your referral link, our platform will send you a 10% commission, which amounts to $10, to your Stripe account as a reward for bringing them on board

wild gyro Oct 31, 2023, 8:50 AM

#

So in another words, you just want to transfer additional funds to a connected account?

opaque sky Oct 31, 2023, 8:50 AM

#

yes

wild gyro Oct 31, 2023, 8:52 AM

Stripe API reference – Create a transfer – curl

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

opaque sky Oct 31, 2023, 8:54 AM

#

directly, there is no way to transfer using the create subscription checkout method?

#

because we're using the stripe checkout for our subscriptions

wild gyro Oct 31, 2023, 8:55 AM

#

No

#

You can listen to checkout.session.completed event and create a transfer

opaque sky Oct 31, 2023, 8:57 AM

#

okay but if the user create dispute then how we will get back 10% amount from the connected account?

wild gyro Oct 31, 2023, 9:02 AM

#

Standard accounts are responsible for disputes, you don't need to handle them.

There's no direct affiliate solution in the API really. Couple ways you can do it:

Utilise a customer credit balance: https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/customer/balance
Utilise coupons/discounts
