Hi there. We're not experts on fees nor betas but, based on those docs, it looks like you should be able to use these pricing tools to customize application fees by account

#

I recommend filling out the form at the top of that page to request a beta invite then playing around with the features once your account is granted access

queen sage
#

Yes however the problem is I can generate only 1 fee structure from there and it will be either manually set for that account from dashboard or for all users. We can not have 3 types of fee structures set via api.

#

I have access currently to it. Is there any way of me setting it via api maybe? If not do you know how I can implement these fee structures via normal api's? If you do not know who would be the best person to contact you think?

tame eagle
#

Ah, gotcha. These are kind of mutually exclusive. Platform Pricing Tools in the Dashboard are intended for folks who are looking for a no-code solution.

#

Otherwise, you can decide on the application fee amount you want to add to a direct or destination charge, then pass that programmatically when creating the charge

queen sage
#

And even in the api version do you know how I can set fees depending on card brand or similar? I currently set on the backend a manual application fee. However the aplication fee should change depending on card brand and card issuing country. How can I do this?

#

We only use direct charges where the customer of us accepts payments from their own customers. We do not get the funds and they get the funds to their connect balance.

#

We are using terminal however. The card will be present, How can I do that with terminal?

tame eagle
#

The beta is the functionality to collect and inspect payment details prior to confirming. I recommend signing up for the beta if you're interested in using this flow

queen sage
#

We are using the bluetooth bbpos wisepad 3. This is purely for server driven terminal machines I think?

#

Can I update the application fee in react native here? Do you have any knowldege on that?

tame eagle
#

No, any updates to PaymentIntents happen server side

queen sage
#

So would it be good practice to send the card details to the backend and then have the backend update the payment intent?

#

Is that even possible?

tame eagle
#

Hold on a second. Let's capture all variables in one message.

#

So you're currently using Terminal + Connect with a BBPOS WisePad 3 and want to be able to dynamically adjust application fee amounts based on the card used by the end customer. Is that correct? Anything I've missed?

queen sage
#

No that is all correct. We charge less fees for UK based cards and more fees for example for AMEX cards.

tame eagle
#

Got it

queen sage
#

The problem with the first beta is we have 2 account types:
Standard Accounts, 0.79% fee for local UK/EEA cards + 1% for Amex & International cards
Premium Accounts, 1.79% fee for local UK/EEA cards + 1% for Amex & International cards

tame eagle
#

Give me a few minutes. In this case "standard" and "premium" are your own categories, correct?

queen sage
#

Yes correct.

#

We let our users pick which account type they want in the mobile app and store this information in our backend.

tame eagle
queen sage
#

Any for react native?

tame eagle
queen sage
#

Yes however after this I need to update the application fee accordingly.

#

Can I do that from the frontend? Or do I need to send a request to the backend to change the payment intent with updated application fees?

tame eagle
#

You'll need to send a request to the backend to update the PI's application fee

queen sage
#

Is there a time limit between capturing the payment and the collect payment details step?

#

Sorry we use auto capture so it would go to step 3 confirming the payment. Is there a time limit for us to advance from step 2 to step 3? Im asking as this request might take a second.

tame eagle
#

No, there shouldn't be

queen sage
#

Okay thank you. It looks like this will be the only way we can do this.

#

One more question I would like to ask is do you have any information if we could charge an application fee for normal payouts?

tame eagle
#

Hm, not exactly. You're thinking about a fee on top of the application fee?

queen sage
#

Not really. In normal payouts there is no option to set an application fee in the docs. Is it possible to set an application fee for normal payouts?

tame eagle
#

No, that's not possible. You likely should just take a larger application fee in that case

queen sage
#

Larger application fee in the charges you mean?

tame eagle
#

Correct
