Hi 👋
Sorry your question is unclear to me so let me try to get it straight.
- You are creating Custom accounts for your users https://stripe.com/docs/connect/custom-accounts
- How are you creating Charges?
stripe must deduct some charges for payout right?
Onboarding, verification and compliance, Funds routing and platform management, Payouts these charges
@pine dawn
No sorry you are not answering my question.
Which of these three approaches are you using to create charges? https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges
direct charges
Okay then your platform takes a fee from the charge but the funds settle in the Connect Account's balance during the payment
You can see the funds flow here: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/direct-charges#flow-of-funds-with-fees
so are custom users charges any fee for active account?
Also you should not be using direct charges for custom accounts
And it is up to you as the platform to add your fee
custom user buys a google subscription and the money is creadited to my personal account from where i do a bces_debit for strip i create a paymentintend. once i recieve money i payout it to another custom account
That is not direct charges, that sounds like separate charge and transfers. Could you please review the Charge docs I linked and clarify which type you are using?
https://stripe.com/in/connect/pricing in this doc its not clearly mentioned who would be paying the charges
That isn't the doc you want to read
Also your language is confusing. the Customer "pays the charge".
Please review this doc about how you are creating charges:
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges
let me rephrase it
The questions I have are very simple
• there is a fee that Stripe charges for each active user of Custom Stripe account? How does the payment gets processed for this? Does the stripe deduct the payment from available balance or the payout for that user?
• The other doubt is regarding the payout fee. Lets assume we are paying out to a Custom Stripe account user based in Australia, how much fee will be deducted? Can you provide the information with breakdown? Also who bears the charge?
These fees are collected from the Platform Account. You can see exactly how they are collected by reviewing the Funds Flow diagrams for the proper Charge Type you are using.
can you explain what do you mean my platform account
I think you need to review our Connect documentation: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/collect-then-transfer-guide
The platform account is the Stripe Account you use to create the Custom accounts
Payout fee will also be borne by Platform account???
