hi! what part are you struggling with exactly, what have you tried so far or what guide are you reading?
lavish lodge
Sounds stupid but I can't find the documentation chapter 😄
Example: my connect account makes a 100€ transaction, I want to charge him an additional 22%
void oracle
charge who?
void oracle
where does the connected account obtain the 22 euro from then to pay you?
lavish lodge
I would be fine with an additional invoice
void oracle
sure but you can't invoice a connected account.
an option might be to collect a credit card from the person who owns the account, and create a Customer account in your platform account, and charge that Customer for the extra fees. Does that make sense?
lavish lodge
It would, but I guess that there isn't an automation to calculate the 22% of the value of the transactions
Maybe I could create a function that calculates the amount and create an invoice?
void oracle

correct
void oracle
Maybe I could create a function that calculates the amount and create an invoice...
sure, you can. But the point is, who/what are you invoicing
so that's why there's the suggestion of charging a credit card or other payment method you collect separtely from the owner of the account
lavish lodge
Every connect account we have is a shop. The shop makes transactions with its customer. Let's say the make 1000$ of transactions with their customers in a month. Every month, I want to invoice THE SHOP with 22% of 1000€
void oracle
you can't just charge the connected account itself for fees, in general, since it has to get that money from somewhere.
lavish lodge
I'm fine with not invoicing directly the connected account
void oracle
if they make $1000, that will get paid out to their bank account(minus Stripe fees) and then it's gone from inside Stripe. But you can collect a payment method from the shop owner and charge that
lavish lodge
Every connect is also a customer we have listed here https://dashboard.stripe.com/customers/
So we have the data we need
void oracle
ah perfect, then you already implemented this, sounds good then
lavish lodge
Ok so I only need to create an invoice every month
void oracle
that's why I asked " what have you tried so far" since that would have been useful context to know you already are familiar with the model of having a Customer for the connected account and tying them together in your system
lavish lodge
It's not something I can set-up from the Connect, but I have to use the Customer
void oracle
It's not something I can set-up from the Connect, but I have to use the Customer
yep it has zero relation to Connect or to the connected account
void oracle
it's purely just your platform account charging a customer using it's own API keys, it's only your own system/database that knows the payment is associated with the connected account, it's not modelled in the API directly
lavish lodge
I think I found what I needed, it was the application_fee_percent parameter in the creation of paymentlinks, that our shops use
