Are you using direct charges?

#

Or destination?

#

Destination charge. The connected account creates the invoice themself and it hits their pending stripe balance

#

The connected account creates the invoice themself and it hits their pending stripe balance
That's not what a destination charge is

#

If the connect account is creating invoices themself, then there's not a way for the platform to collect a fee

#

You, the platform, needs to control invoice creation to claim a fee

#

Ok i understand. I can see this param on the invoice object. Is there a equivalent parameter to set a percentage or do I just have to manually calculate a percentage

#

What type of connected accounts do you have?

#

Assuming standard?

agile turtle Jul 31, 2024, 1:28 PM

#

We offer banking services. So our connected accounts also have capability to treasury features, card issuing etc. It's custom

steel jungle Jul 31, 2024, 1:30 PM

#

Wait that doesn't sound like custom

#

That sounds like standard if they have all those features on their own

#

Are you sure you're using custom?

agile turtle Jul 31, 2024, 1:31 PM

#

this is how we create the account on register

steel jungle Jul 31, 2024, 1:34 PM

#

Ok

#

You should do destination charges then

#

https://docs.stripe.com/connect/destination-charges

#

So when specifying transfer_data on the invoice, only specify the amount that you want transfered to the connect account: https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/create#create_invoice-transfer_data-amount

#

You can keep the remainder as your fee

agile turtle Jul 31, 2024, 1:37 PM

#

What's the difference between using application_fee_amount and transfer_data.amount

steel jungle Jul 31, 2024, 1:38 PM

#

application fee is for direct charges

#

Actually technically you can use application fee with destination charges too: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/destination-charges?platform=web&ui=stripe-hosted&lang=python#collect-fees

#

That outlines the difference

#

Usually folks just transfer what they want to the connect account and keep the rest

#

Ok so from what I got so far using either one it has to be a destination charge to take a platform fee. I will give it a try and get back to you guys if I have any issues with customer ids etc. because those are bound to the connected account itself.

#

Thank you!

You should never do this with custom accounts

#

You should use destination charges
