You can only do a percent with subscriptions: https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-application_fee_percent

If I want to charge a fixed amount, whats the best to acheive this
or are you saying its impossbile / no workaround?
pulsar lake
Impossible via application fee. You could do an account debit as a workaround to collect back a certain amount, but this isn't supported in all countries or account types: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/account-debits
Alternatively, you could not use Subscriptions, and create invoices using your own Subscription logic: https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/create#create_invoice-application_fee_amount. Invoices allow an application fee amount
topaz wyvern
I see... is there any stripe fee associated with account debit?
pulsar lake
Not sure. We don't know anything about fees/pricing in here
We just answer api questions
You could ask our support team: https://support.stripe.com/contact
topaz wyvern
I see. If a payment intent is not captured and refunded, will Stripe take any fee off that?
I guess I need to ask the support lol
pulsar lake
Yeah not sure
topaz wyvern
Is there any invoice generated for the application fee taken for the destination charge?
pulsar lake
It's not a separate invoice
It's an application fee on the regular subscription invoice
topaz wyvern
can the connected accounts view how much application fee they paid?
like aggregate view for the month
pulsar lake
What kind of connect accounts?
Not really sure though. We also don't know much about the dashboard in here
topaz wyvern
What kind of connect accounts?
do you mean like express?
pulsar lake
yeah
Really I recommend you just test this out in test mode to see what the account holder can see
topaz wyvern
I see. is there any way to make all the subscriptions to start on the same day? but still get them to pay the partial amount for the 1st month
For example,
I want my billing cycle to be 25th of every month.
Let's say person A signs up for a subscription on 17/08/2024.
- I want the first invoice to be prorated amount from 17/08/2024 to 25/08/2024
- I want the 2nd invoice to be a full month from 25/08/2024 ~ 25/09/2024
topaz wyvern
awesome, is it possible to create a monthly subscription but the price is calculated daily?
i.e. Feb should be cheaper than other months

Hi there 👋 jumping in as my teammate needs to step away soon. No, we don't have prebuilt functionality for that, you would need to build custom logic for that.

when I'm onboarding accounts to my Connect platform, is there way to bypass the mobile phone verification step?
wise thicket
No, not with our hosted onboarding flows.
topaz wyvern
what about if I use embedded or api?
wise thicket
An embedded onboarding flow is still one we host, so no. An API onboarding flow is where you build your own UI for onboarding connected accounts, so you're free to build that as you see fit.
topaz wyvern
oh so api won't block me from creating connected account if it didn't do the "verification" step
will that connected account have any restriction for not doing the verification?
wise thicket
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Verification is still performed for API onboarding. We discuss how to handle the verification errors that can arise from that in our guide for that flow here:
https://docs.stripe.com/connect/api-onboarding#handle-verification-errors
topaz wyvern
is verifying phone number a requirment for api onboarding?
wise thicket
The necessary information for onboarding fluctuates with account type, capabilities, service agreement type, platform country, and connected account country. You can use the table on this page to see a list of required information for onboarding an account, after populating the form above the table with the details of your scenario:
https://docs.stripe.com/connect/required-verification-information
topaz wyvern
I see
Phone - First charge - individual.phone
Will this number need to be verified (i.e. getting the short-code via sms) or can I just enter a number without verification
does Stripe have an API endpoint specifically for managing phone number verification?
wise thicket
I believe it just needs to be provided, testmode should replicate that behavior if you want to test and confirm.
topaz wyvern
I cant find any api relating to phone number verification :/ maybe its not even a thing?
wise thicket
I see
```
Phone - First charge - individual.phone
```
Will this number need to...
Do you see a verified tag in the doc beside the row you're talking about in this message?
topaz wyvern
no
wise thicket
Okay, so it needs to be provided, and we'll likely do basic validation on it, but it doesn't need to be verified then.
