HI 👋
- This is referred to as surcharging and you need to make sure it is a legal practice where you are based.
- We have a formula this you can review here: https://support.stripe.com/questions/passing-the-stripe-fee-on-to-customers

- I am including the stripe fee into my platform fee, is that okay?
ember pewter
That's something you need to figure out. I cannot offer legal advice here.

Is there a way of including platform fee in the stripe?
ember pewter
I don't quite get what you mean here.
Are you asking if you can increase the application_fee_amount you take from Connected Accounts to account for the Stripe fee?
vital shale
Yes, how to manage the calculations you mentioned above with applications_fee_amount?

You would use the same formulate to calculate the Stripe fee and add that amount to your application_fee_amount. However, the same legal questions hold true and it's up to you to determine if this is a legal business practice where you are based.
