Hi 👋 based on the wording in the error message, it sounds like you might be trying to add an Application Fee to a Payment Intent that isn't being created using one of our Connect charge patterns.
Are you setting either the stripeAccount header or transfer_data.destination parameter when creating the intent?
verbal kestrel
No, this is how it looks now
var options = new PaymentIntentCreateOptions
{
Amount = amount,
Currency = "eur",
Customer = customerId,
PaymentMethod = paymentMethod.Id,
ReturnUrl = "https://example.com/order/123/complete",
Confirm = true,
OffSession = true,
ApplicationFeeAmount = 100 + (int)Math.Round(amount * 0.015) //our fee
};
in which scenario should I use stripeAccount/destination?
pastel schooner
Yeah, getting an error is expected then. You can't charge an Application Fee for your own payments, they're only applicable when creating Payment Intents using one of our Connect patterns.
Which header/parameter you should use depends on the type of Connected Accounts you're using
https://docs.stripe.com/connect/accounts
and the charge pattern you're building for
https://docs.stripe.com/connect/charges#types

In my scenario, where I need to redistribute the payment to several other express accounts (and keep a fee), would I be able to collect the fee through the parameter? It looks that the Application fee only works for direct payments (that go straight to a single connected account)
in my case it's not essential to use the parameter, just more convenient to have it nicely stored in stripe directly
pastel schooner
No, you would not use an Application Fee there, because you will need to use the Separate Charges and Transfers pattern to split funds from a single payment across multiple Connected Accounts. With that pattern, any funds not sent to Connected Accounts are kept by your Platform:

Understood, thanks
