Hello, can you tell me more about what you would like these fees to look like? You can definitely break this out in to multiple recurring subscription items or add one time invoice items to represent the fees

Hey @plucky meteor! Thanks for the reply.
We're adding a 3% fee for credit/debit. I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to NOT bundle this fee into the price field.
We want to do a fee that's charged each time we bill a subscription (if they choose to use credit/debit), rather than setting a price change.

Gotcha, so whatever the rest of the subscription's price is, you are adding 3% and want that specifically broken out from the rest?

Ideally, yes. We'd like to have the fee split out — because we only charge if it chose to pay via credit/debit. And they can change their payment method at any time. So constantly updating the price, via price changes, would be extremely messy.
Just being able to add/remove an additional fee would be much easier, if it's possible.
Example: Parking is $100/mo. They've been paying with ACH for 2 months, but now decide to start paying via card. We want to tack on a $3 fee the next time the subscription renews.

If this subscription is automatically charged each month, you can add a subscription item with a product named something like "Card network fees" and a unit amount of 3% of the entire order https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-items-price_data
If this is a month by month manual payment thing and you are adding these fees after the fact, you can add this as a one time invoice item on the customer and the subscription will automatically add it to the subscription's next invoice

These are all automatically charged each month using Stripe Billing

gotcha, so subscription item would probably make more sense because that will persist month to month automatically.
