Hi, let me help you with this.

Why do you think it's not working correctly?

[solid smelt]

it seems to be trasnferring the full amount of the payment minus the stripe fee and mostly disregarding the amount to keep for the platform

[honest stone]

But I see that it's commented out: // amount: roundedExpressAmount,

What do you mean by "full amount of the payment minus the stripe fee"? How it's different from "the amount to keep for the platform"?

[solid smelt]

right, i think it should not be that. i was trying a different method to see if it would work but it did not really

say someone is booking a class at $5, and Stripe on any payments takes 2.9% + 30 cents, that's always happening

in my case i'm trying to hold a percentage of the earnings and then pass what remains on to the person receiving money for the class

[honest stone]

I totally understand that. You can use both transfer_data.amount: total - application_fee or application_fee_amount: application_fee, and calculate the application_fee however you prefer.

that didn't work when i tried it

Payment error: StripeInvalidRequestError: You may not provide the application_fee_amount parameter
and the transfer_data[amount] parameter simultaneously. They are mutually exclusive.
at StripeError.generate (C:\Users\Sam Troyer\Desktop\ym-user\yogamatt\server\node_modules\stripe\cjs\Error.js:10:20)

[honest stone]

Why do you provide both of them?

[solid smelt]

oh nevermind, i thought that's what you were telling me to do
