Hi there
Just to confirm, does this mean you're already using application fees? Also, could you share which charge type you're using?

We're not live so we're not using anything yet
I have the setup running:
{
customer: member.stripeCustomerId,
items: [
{
price_data: {
currency: tier.currency || "usd",
product: tier.stripeProductId!,
recurring: {
interval: tier.interval ? tier.interval : "month",
},
unit_amount: totalPrice,
},
},
],
metadata: {
creatorId: creatorConfig.id!,
tierId: subscription.tierid!,
userId: subscription.userid!,
convenienceFee: calculatedFees.convenienceFee,
surchargeFee: calculatedFees.surchargeFee,
platformFee: calculatedFees.platformFee,
},
application_fee_percent: Number(applicationFeePercent),
},
{
stripeAccount: creatorConfig.stripeConnectedAccountId!,
}
);```Okay, so this will yield a direct charge on the stripeAccount
Would you rather not add the convenience fee to the application fee?
jaunty lichen
Well I tried to add it as a straight fee, and it said it only accepted a perfcentage on this. So I calculate the application fee inclusive of that convience fee. But I would rather it be a seperate line item, and be more specific with that.
radiant jay
So just to be clear, application fees are taken from the total amount; this flow chart might help: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/direct-charges?platform=web&ui=stripe-hosted#flow-of-funds-with-fees
Is the "platform convience fee" something you want to take from the total amount or something you want to add on top of the subscription fee and charge to the customer?
jaunty lichen
I add it on top of the subscription fee and charge to the customer
Atleast that is how I have it structured now. I could also do a seperate convience fee charge directly on our stripe account, and just a small percentage in the application fee.
radiant jay
Is this a one-time convenience fee or a recurring convenience fee?
jaunty lichen
reoccuring
radiant jay
I see, okay. Why not add it as an additional line item on the Subscription?
jaunty lichen
Yes, I do want to do that. I had tried that before and it wasn't making sense. Let me try that again. It'll be cleaner.
so this way the fee we get has theoretically no cc fees, and no .30 charge for the application fees right?
radiant jay
We're not pricing experts but if your goal is to charge the customer for this fee vs. taking this fee from the funds that go to the connected account, then the way to do this is to add another line item to the Subscription
jaunty lichen
do I need two product id for that?
{
price_data: {
currency: tier.currency || "usd",
product: tier.stripeProductId!,
recurring: {
interval: tier.interval ? tier.interval : "month",
},
unit_amount: tier.price,
},
},
{
price_data: {
currency: tier.currency || "usd",
product: tier.stripeProductId!,
recurring: {
interval: tier.interval ? tier.interval : "month",
},
unit_amount: calculatedFees.convenienceFee,
},
},```Not necessarily. A Product can have many Prices
