Hey

I'm trying to collect the stripe fee before it hits the connected account.
Can you provide a concrete example of what you want to achieve?

Hi there

#

Sure - the player owes the manager $100, I calculate the fee - $1.70 and the player will pay 101.70 and then I want to stripe take the 1.70 and transfer 100 to the manager's connected account

#

The fee is created, but I don't think the transfer to the final connected account is correct?

#

What about the Connect Account? the manager is a connect account ?

raw rover
#

Yes - that's correct

leaden flame
#

and you as a platform account, you don't take any fee ?

raw rover
#

At the moment, we charge a separate subscription (via Stripe) for the platform

#

For now, I just want a passthrough with the exact Stripe fee paid for by the player

#

There's a few other minor issues - my fee calculation result is slightly different from Stripe's.
And Stripe is collecting tax, when I have asked it not to.

Ah this is included in the Fees, I though Stripe collecting your Tax on your behalf without configuring that.

raw rover
#

It shouldn't - and if it is , it out by an order of 100

#

The tax in Asutralia on 132 would be $13.2

leaden flame
#

I don't know honestly how the tax in Stripe fees are computed

#

Sorry, but this channel is for technical integration question only.

raw rover
#

I will, for sure

#

Yes - tax and fees are minor

#

What I am trying to do is make sure I can subtract the fee from the amount that goes to the connected account - via API

#

Because at the moment I am being charged the fee and passing that fee amount on top of the target amount to the manager.

#

You know there is 3 types of Connect charges: Destination, Separate and Direct. With Destiantion and Separate, the platform account is responsible for paying Stripe fees while with Direct Charge the connect account is responsible for paying Stripe fees.

Okay - so when I create the checkout session -it

#
  • it's using the connected account as the host, not mine?
#

Then I don't need the fee, I just need to calculate it for the payment amount?

#

I see - with the Stripe-Account header...

leaden flame
#

yes

raw rover
#

Okay - that's a solid plan - I'll get in have a crack. Thanks - I really appreciate you following my issue through.

leaden flame
#

Happy to help!

raw rover
#

looks good - have realised that I need to set up connected webhooks now!

Okay - that all seems to work.
I have one final question?

#

I can see that the fee is being handled in the connected account.
The payment in the checkout session webhook says the gross amount:

#

So I can reconcile at my end, how can I tell that 799.46 is being returned.
I need to be able to say: You asked for 800 and you got 799.46

it would involve looking at the balance_transaction objects associated with the payment object
