@steel sandal hello! So the error says you can't pass payment_intent_data so you shouldn't pass it. You want subscription_data

#

Gotchu, i'll give that a shot

I was wondering how subscription_data.application_fee_percent relates to subscription_data.transfer_data.amount_percent

winged tide
#

It's all an accounting/flow of funds choice between keeping a portion for yourself and sending the rest, or sending the full amount and taking a portion back as a fee

#

What i meant to ask is that if subscription_data.application_fee_percent is 5%, then it only makes sense for subscription_data.transfer_data.amount_percent to be capped at 95%, right? Or am i mistaken

#

you're misunderstanding things. You can't combine both, it's one or the other.

#

Imagine a $100 Invoice
You either

  • get $100 and transfer 95% to the connected account with transfer_data[amount_percent]: 95.00 and they get $95 and you keep $5 (and pay Stripe's fee)
  • get $100, transfer 100% to the connected account (default) and then get back 5% as your own fee with application_fee_percent]: 5.00 and they keep $95 and you keep $5 (and pay Stripe's fee)
#

the math is the same, but the flow of funds varies

#

What are the pros/cons of each approach? How do I decide which one I should use

sorry just the section below

#

Up to you, they are about the flow of funds and your own accounting/reconciliation.

#

Got it, thanks

winged tide
#

Sure!

steel sandal
#

How do I know how much stripe will take from this transaction?

#

Idk if I can see this in test mode

winged tide
#

it's right there on your screenshot on fee right?

steel sandal
#

No, that's the amount the platform (me) charged

winged tide
#

no it is not

#

ah so that's the picture from the connected account and not your own account?

#

If so, look at your own account's Dashboard (the platform's) and it will be right there
