hello! If you explicitly want to retrieve the fees that Stripe charge via the API, there's no way to do so if the payment has not yet been successful
short gulch
@slim geyser yes that's the issue.
is there any better solution for calculating platform fee?
slim geyser
what you can consider instead is to use Separate Charges and Transfers (https://stripe.com/docs/connect/separate-charges-and-transfers) - After the Charge is successful, find out the Stripe fee from the corresponding Balance Transaction (of the Charge) and deduce the amount to be transferred to the connected account
short gulch
seems like separate transfer is not supported in UK
slim geyser
Are your connected accounts all based in the same region? i.e. your platform is in the UK, and your connected accounts are all in UK also?
short gulch
not always.
for now we are planning to use UK accounts only. But we have plans to use in US and EU as well.
slim geyser
you can do Separate Charges and Transfers if both accounts are located in the same region
with your current fund flow (Destination Charges without OBO), you won't be able to support US and EU with a UK platform account. To do so, you will either need to use Direct Charges, or Destination Charges with OBO

OBO is on_behalf_of

what OBO is?
got it.

If your platform is based in the US though, you can use https://stripe.com/docs/connect/cross-border-payouts which would allow you to Transfer crossborder

I implemented everything based on destination charges.
my connected accounts are based in UK.
and most of the customers are also based in UK.
and Platform is also based in UK.
i just want to deduct application fees from total amount - stripe fees.
currently its deducting from total amount without stripe fees.

Yep, i understand you implemented everything based on destination charges. For your future consideration though (whereby you also want to support connected accounts in US with a UK platform account), you need to be aware that Destination Charges does not support cross border connected accounts. It's only possible if you use Destination Charges with OBO, or Direct Charges
For your current situation where you only have UK connected accounts (and you are a UK platform), Separate Charges and Transfers should work. Where did you see that Transfers are not supported for UK?

Stripe supports separate charges and transfers in the following regions:
Australia
Brazil
Canada
Europe
Japan
Malaysia
New Zealand
Singapore
United States

Should work fine, let us know if not!
Alright then. I think UK is not in Europe
