Hi Pompey!
torpid citrus
Hello 👋
Can you tell me more about your usecase? How are you currently charging through Stripe? Checkout? Your own elements page?
thorn parcel
Yes! So ive connected stipe via a chekout page Which I belive is the default way to connect stripe. Im new to this so sorry If i word things weird im just learning!
torpid citrus
Gotcha, so with Checkout you are either manually setting a price per session or you are using Price objects
If you are setting the price via price_data, you can just start passing prices that are 10% higher going forward. If you are using Price objects, you will need to define new ones for your higher prices and then pass those IDs going forward
thorn parcel
Price per session seems right because it is a marketplace people can set there own price
torpid citrus
In your code that would mean you are using price_data https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-line_items-price_data
thorn parcel
So this allows my company to take 10% of each product sold on my marketplace?
torpid citrus
Ah sorry I misunderstood your question. So you are talking about setting your platform fee.
thorn parcel
Maybe. let me explain a little more thats my fault!
So Im building a ecommerce marketplace which alows sellers and creators to sell digital products like Software, Courses, Templates. When someone signs up and starts selling and one of there products gets bought I would like to take 10% from that order and 90% of the money will get sent to the seller.
Just so my business/website can make a profit and not take a loss
torpid citrus
Gotcha, and have you looked in to the Connect charge types and decided on which one you want to go with? https://docs.stripe.com/connect/charges
thorn parcel
No but I will right now and let you know!
torpid citrus
Sounds good! It is pretty straightforward to apply those to Checkout once you have chosen. Basically there is a payment_intent_data parameter when creating a checkout session. You can set application_fee_amount if you are using the direct charges flow or transfer_data if you are using the destination charges flow
https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-payment_intent_data-application_fee_amount
And definitely let me know if you run in to any questions about which may be better for your situation
thorn parcel
I think im leaning towards Direct
That sounds like what Im trying to do
Do I need to create a seperate file for the payment_intent_data? Ive created a payment-router.ts and was wondering if I could put the application_fee_amount & transfer_data in it
torpid citrus
This should be more of adding lines to the existing file. This will be a part of the same API call that you are already making to create these checkout sessions
thorn parcel
Ok Sweet
Will I have to add anything to my dashboard via stripe?
Does this look right?!
// Calculate the total amount
const totalAmount = filteredProducts.reduce(
(total, product) => total + (product.priceId ? parseInt(product.priceId, 10) : 0),
0
);
// Calculate the application fee (10% of the total amount)
const applicationFeeAmount = Math.floor(totalAmount * 0.10);
// Create the Stripe Checkout Session with application fee and transfer data
const stripeSession = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
success_url: `${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SERVER_URL}/thank-you?orderId=${order.id}`,
cancel_url: `${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SERVER_URL}/cart`,
payment_method_types: ["card"],
mode: "payment",
metadata: {
userId: user.id,
orderId: order.id,
},
line_items,
payment_intent_data: {
application_fee_amount: applicationFeeAmount,
transfer_data: {
amount: totalAmount - applicationFeeAmount,
destination: "connected_account_id", // Replace with the actual connected account ID
},
},
});
For direct charges, you will only want to use application_fee_amount, you can remove transfer_data from your code. Both of those are trying to do basically the same thing, but those two parameters are for two different flows, so the API won't know what to do if you pass both. If you remove that and test this call out in test mode, does everything seem to work from there?
And you don't need to change anything in your dashboard, these fees are set on a per payment or per subscription basis, so setting this in your code is all that you need to do.
thorn parcel
For direct charges, you will only want to use `application_fee_amount`, you can ...
I got rid of the transfer_data let me test it real quick should I look in stripe logs?!
torpid citrus
That is one way, you also should be able to see a payment for the amount of your application fee in your platform account's dashboard
thorn parcel
Were in the dashboard!?
torpid citrus
thorn parcel
In collected fees tab it says I have no results
torpid citrus
Can you send me the ID of the checkout session that you completed that this should be showing for? (cs_test_123)

I don't see the application fee amount in our logs of your API request https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_gBwOTG2yrViWf2
Is it possible that you ran an older version of the code that didn't have the new application fee stuff that you added?
thorn parcel
Hmmm let me show you I do not believe so
Here are the two files in which contain stripe
sour crow
Hi there 👋 taking over, as my colleague needs to step away
As far as I can tell, there was no application_fee added as a parameter to the request that created that checkout session
thorn parcel
Hi! Interesting could you expand a little more! Sorry I’m pretty new to this
This is in my payment-router.ts
const stripeSession = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
success_url: ${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SERVER_URL}/thank-you?orderId=${order.id},
cancel_url: ${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SERVER_URL}/cart,
payment_method_types: ["card"],
mode: "payment",
metadata: {
userId: user.id,
orderId: order.id,
},
line_items,
payment_intent_data: {
application_fee_amount: applicationFeeAmount,
},
});
// Calculate the total amount
const totalAmount = filteredProducts.reduce(
(total, product) =>
total + (product.priceId ? parseInt(product.priceId, 10) : 0),
0
);
// Calculate the application fee (10% of the total amount)
const applicationFeeAmount = Math.floor(totalAmount * 0.1);
Not really. The request you sent to Stripe didn't contain an application_fee. For whatever reason, the code you're posting is not the code that created this Checkout Session: cs_test_b18uPnDyAcHQ9HVSJcgL8Jga2OxbA9S1UsYXNuKyDiJZfdHvTB8c7ClI4T
thorn parcel
Ok give me one second! I bet im looing in the wrong place!
Found it!
is the checkoutsession considered a webhook?
sour crow
No, but a webhook might contain a checkout session
thorn parcel
Check this one please

Do you know how to view logs in your dashboard? You can check the request's parameters yourself to see what was passed in.
https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request
thorn parcel
listen man I cant get it im not sure what im doing wrong here
sour crow
You're in your Developer section of the Dashboard looking at the Logs and you can't find the request you just made to create that Checkout Session?
thorn parcel
No I know how to see logs 😂 I’m trying to create a 10% deduction from all products sold on my site. It’s a marketplace which allows people to sign up and post products when someone buys the product the seller should get 90% of what they sold I should get 10% because it’s my marketplace.
The previous person told me to use application_fee_amount
sour crow
Yeah, you're gonna need to figure out why the code you're posting isn't using an application_fee. The Previous person was right. But you still haven't figured out why the code you posted in this thread is different from the code that's running when you create a Checkout Session
thorn parcel
Yes and that’s were I’m stuck. What’s should I be looking for code wise to find where the stripe session is being created
sour crow
I can't really help you there. You're the developer. You should be able to track down where your code is running from
thorn parcel
Kinda brand new to this but I’ll figure it out and get back to you
thorn parcel
Yo I have an error I need help with can you close this thread or can you answer it?
I get this in my logs 400 ERR
resource_missing - line_items[1][price]
sour crow
Do you have a request ID for that request?
Here's how you can find a request ID: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request
thorn parcel
req_utNLlvNZfZaier
sour crow
The error message indicates that the Price object you're using doesn't exist on that account. A different account has that Price, but not the one that created the request
thorn parcel
I got it thank you!
thorn parcel
The error message indicates that the Price object you're using doesn't exist on ...
Heres another one I think I know what it is asked but I just want to double check with you.
ERR:
parameter_invalid_integer - payment_intent_data[application_fee_amount]
ID:
req_s3K0cL3IicgYsL
Its telling me I've put down the amount fee wrong for example I put
// Calculate the total amount
const totalAmount = filteredProducts.reduce(
(total, product) =>
total + (product.priceId ? parseInt(product.priceId, 10) : 0),
0
);
// Calculate the application fee (10% of the total amount)
const applicationFeeAmount = Math.floor(totalAmount * 0.1);
// Create the Stripe Checkout Session with application fee and transfer data
const stripeSession = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
success_url: `${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SERVER_URL}/thank-you?orderId=${order.id}`,
cancel_url: `${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SERVER_URL}/cart`,
payment_method_types: ["card"],
mode: "payment",
metadata: {
userId: user.id,
orderId: order.id,
},
line_items,
payment_intent_data: {
application_fee_amount: applicationFeeAmount,
transfer_data: {
destination: "connected_account_id", // Replace with the actual connected account ID
},
},
});
If you look at that Request in the Dashboard, what is the error message?
thorn parcel
parameter_invalid_integer - payment_intent_data[application_fee_amount]
Looks like you passed the wrong value for the application_fee_amount field.
The value of this field should be positive integer, in the smallest unit for the given currency.
For example, $10 should be 1000.
For further details on this field see the application fee amount subsection in the API reference.
Was this useful?
Yes
No
SO if i wanted to take 10% what should my integer look like? 1.0000? .001? 10 itself?
10.0
0.1?
I bet its 100
thorn parcel
@sour crow Heres what I tried
// Calculate the application fee (10% of the total amount in cents)
const applicationFeeAmount = Math.floor(totalAmount * 100);
// Create the Stripe Checkout Session with application fee and transfer data
const stripeSession = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
success_url: `${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SERVER_URL}/thank-you?orderId=${order.id}`,
cancel_url: `${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SERVER_URL}/cart`,
payment_method_types: ["card"],
mode: "payment",
metadata: {
userId: user.id,
orderId: order.id,
},
line_items,
payment_intent_data: {
application_fee_amount: 100,
transfer_data: {
destination: "connected_account_id", // Replace with the actual connected account ID
},
},
});
it did not work it still tells me:
parameter_invalid_integer - payment_intent_data[application_fee_amount]
Looks like you passed the wrong value for the application_fee_amount field.

req_4C7dtkYQHcavsd
sour crow
I mean, it looks like the code is not what's actually running when you create the Checkout Session. If you were actually passing application_fee_amount: 100 then you wouldn't be getting that error
thorn parcel
im confused why this does not work
const applicationFeeAmount = Math.floor(totalAmount * 0.1);
because its not an integer?
sour crow
math.floor() rounds to the nearest integer, as far as I know, but it doesn't necessarily mean the value of the applicationFeeAmount is an int type. You should do a console log of the value and the type of the value before the checkout session is created to see if it's actually an integer or not
Does it work when you just hardcode the 100 value in? Instead of using the applicationFeeAmount variable?
thorn parcel
I was just about to do that let me try!
thorn parcel
could you explain this a little?
parameter_missing - application_fee_amount
Looks like you are missing the application_fee_amount field. This field allows the platform to take an application fee on direct charges. It can be any positive number up to the amount of the charge.
