Hey, sorry to make another threat - the last one got closed when I walked away.
The thread ID is 1273711949305085995 from the #dev-help channel.
We were linked this page
https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-subscription_data-application_fee_percent
Which sounds like it might work, except it seems it's "Connect only".
Is an account with our Stripe App installed considered a "Connected account" or would that only be accounts done through Stripe Connect?
it was @wet star on this one

@cursive raptor yes if you are building a Stripe App it will work the same as Connect and you can use that parameter

Awesome. Do you know what we'd need to pass in to get this to work?
Right now we're already passing the users OAuth key (so we can make the request on their account).
This is our code where accessToken is the users access token from our Stripe App.
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;
}```You shouldn't need to "pass in" anything specific.

How would it know to give our app the platform fee?
gentle igloo
I think it's better to focus on real examples. What did you do that errored and what exact error are you taking?
Sure you have to pass the parameter my colleague gave you but that's already what we're talking about
cursive raptor
We actually haven'tr tried yet we just don't know where to start in getting this to work
yeah say we pass that subscription_data.application_fee_percent param, how does that request know to give our Stripe App Account the platform fee?
Because the request is being made on the users stripe account with their accessToken
Does the request just know automatically it's coming from our Stripe App?
gentle igloo
the "access token" is specifically for your app so yes that's how we know, otherwise we wouldn't know you are making the request
cursive raptor
ahhhhhh interesting! okay okay
wow that's amazing, thank you so much for your help
gentle igloo
sure thing! I think just try it and see if it works and if it doesn't I can have a look!
cursive raptor
for sure, we'll get to testing and come back if we have issues. you saved us so much time fumbling around
gentle igloo
happy to help!
cursive raptor
happy to help!
Also quick question - you said that accounts connected to our app are essentially Connected Accounts.
Is that only for specific endpoints or can we assume that we can use the applicable Connect features in an endpoint
gentle igloo
Apps are basically a new version of Connect with more granular permissions, otherwise they work the same
cursive raptor
awesome. a wealth of knowledge right here
gentle igloo
we're always happy to help! If your thread is closed when you come back (we keep them open only a short time as we help hundreds of developers a week), you can always start a new thread with a new question 🙂
