const processPayment = async (req, res) => {
try {
const { customerId, price, currency, paymentMethodId, providerCustomerId, providerDefaultPaymentMethodId } = req.body;

if (!providerCustomerId) {
  return res.status(400).json({ error: 'Provider customer ID is missing' });
}


// Calculate total deduction (Stripe fee + platform fee)
// const totalDeductionPercentage = 0.20; // 20%
// const totalDeductionAmount = price * totalDeductionPercentage;

// Calculate the amount to transfer to the Express account (80% of the total payment amount)
const stripeFeePercentage = 0.029; // 2.9%
const stripeFeeFixed = 0.30; // $0.30
const stripeFeeAmount = (price * stripeFeePercentage) + stripeFeeFixed;

const platformFeePercentage = 0.0499; // 4.99%
const platformFeeFixed = 0.99; // $0.99
const platformFeeAmount = (price * platformFeePercentage) + platformFeeFixed;

// Calculate amount for Express account
const expressAmount = price - platformFeeAmount - stripeFeeAmount;
const roundedExpressAmount = Math.round(expressAmount)

console.log('Amount for Express account:', roundedExpressAmount);
console.log('Platform fee amount:', platformFeeAmount);
console.log('Stripe fee amount:', stripeFeeAmount);

// Create a payment intent or perform payment directly
let paymentIntent;
if (providerDefaultPaymentMethodId) {
  paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.create({
    customer: customerId,
    amount: price, // Replace with the actual amount in cents
    currency: currency, // Replace with the desired currency
    payment_method: paymentMethodId,
    confirm: true,
    transfer_data: {
      amount: roundedExpressAmount,
      destination: providerCustomerId
    },
    application_fee_amount: Math.round(platformFeeAmount), // Platform fee amount in cents
    return_url: `https://samtroyer.com`
  });
}

so 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

and as a result of the code i get this response:

Payment error: StripeInvalidRequestError: You may not provide the application_fee_amount parameter
and the transfer_data[amount] parameter simultaneously. They are mutually exclusive.

Hi, let me help you with this.

I believe we chatted yesterday.
Why are you sending both parameters at the same time?

[true crypt]

i'd read somewhere that i could but that seemed to be a mistake

how instead can i just have my platform account hold our percentage and the rest is transferred to the connect account?

[true crypt]

we did talk but my chat got closed before i really understood how to solve the problem

[eager reef]

These 2 parameters basically solve the same problem, so you never need to use both of them.

The difference is:

transfer_data.amount = total - application_fee

application_fee_amount = application_fee

And you can achieve the same result with either of them.

i see

const platformFeePercentage = 0.0499; // 4.99%
const platformFeeFixed = 0.99; // $0.99
const platformFeeAmount = (price * platformFeePercentage) + platformFeeFixed;

would it make sense that in my code the platformFee Fixed should be 99 instead of 0.99 because Stripe deals with $5 like 500 ?

[eager reef]

Yes

As long as price is also in cents.

[true crypt]

seems to be that way and i think that the issue is solved actually

thank you

[eager reef]

Happy to help.
