Basically we want to charge a 1% fee for successful checkout sessions created through our app. The app is a Stripe App installed on a customers Stripe account.

Is there a way to do this?

Hi 👋

How does your app create checkout sessions? Can you share a request?

[neon solstice]

For sure.

    async createCheckoutSession(params = {}) {
        params["method"] = "POST";
        const response = await this.#stripeRequest(StripeUrls.stripeCheckoutSessionsUrl(), params);
        const responseData = await response.json();
        if (response.ok) {
            console.log(responseData)
            return responseData;
        } else {
            const error = responseData["error"];
            throw new StripeAPIError(`${error.type}: ${error.message}`)
        }
    }

    async #stripeRequest(url, params = {}) {
        const accessToken = await this.#refreshToken();
        const method = params["method"] || "GET";
        const headers = {
            "Authorization": `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
            "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
        };
        const data = params["data"] || {};
        url = `${url}?${new URLSearchParams(data)}`;
        let response = await fetch(url, {
            method: method,
            headers: headers
        });
        return response;
    }```

We basically just create a checkout session on the users account using their access_token, then direct users to that session URL

Hi there 👋 catching up here as my teammate needed to step away.

I'm looking around, because offhand I'm not sure you can charge for the usage of a Stripe App like that.

[neon solstice]

Me neither, but we saw a competitor offering that on their pricing model so we figured there might be a way

But they use the legacy Stripe Extentions so I'm not sure if that's different. I'm also not sure if they made all their customers Stripe Connect Accounts, if that's something we can even do while letting them keeping their account.

Ah, good point about extensions, let me see how they did it and whether you can try to roll that forward to an App.

What mode are you creating the Checkout Sessions in?
