Hello!

#

Im in a little of A pickle here I cant do what I said above without connect and I also cant do what Pompey said for creating a product fee because I also need connect.

He said:
The key part of that error is "(using an OAuth key or Stripe-Account header)", basically the application_fee_amount parameter can only be used when you are making that call as your connected account. You are currently making that call as the platform account itself, not the connected account, hence the error.
This doc shows how to make a checkout session that makes a direct charge, lines 25-27 show how to specify that the call is being made as your connected account. If you want the payment to be made on acct_1234 you would pass
{
stripeAccount: 'acct_1234',
}

👋 stepping in for my teammate, give me a few minutes to catch up

#

Okay, I'm still a little lost on what you're doing. Can you explain in 1-2 sentences what you're trying to do and where you're blocked?

tall seal
#

Yes

#

So Im building a ecommerce store that is a marketplace for sellers and creators to sell there items. I need to be able to do two things.

  1. Add a 10% fee off every product so that my business makes money. I want the other 90% to go to the connect account which would be the sellers.
    2.The next thing I am trying to do is have sellers get paid but I need to make sure thay are connected to stripe and I am not sure how to do it.

#

Okay, and where are you blocked? This is a perfect scenario for Connect so you may just need to set up a new Stripe merchant account to test Connect

What do you mean?

willow elk
#

As a customer, can I add multiple items to my cart from different sellers? Do I have a relationship with the individual sellers or with just you, the ecommerce store?

tall seal
#

Oh

#

Yes yes yes you can buy multiple items from different sellers!

#

It’s a marketplace!

willow elk
#

This way, you can transfer funds to the different sellers and keep a portion of those funds as a fee.

#

As for making sure they are all connected to Stripe, you would have to create a platform account and have each of the sellers onboard to your platform. This involves them having to provide information about their business and other details.

Ok sweet sounds amazing but I can’t access it unless my account is active! Do I have to make a new account?

willow elk
#

Yes, correct
