hi alex, any advice would be greatly appreciated

[jaunty steppe]

hello! do you have the Checkout Session id which you're expecting to see the event from? Can you share that, it'll have the prefix cs_test_

[analog seal]

sure.. One sec

"cs_test_a1ERuvl70TLZgdspMNq3rwiS7rnqaddmnG3lXCDr8FS8R483QDYBoZs8e0"

thanks for this

so, if I look in the events it shows as checkout.session.completed however it does not trigger the webhook set to listen for that same event.

[jaunty steppe]

you need to setup an Account webhook endpoint for the type of charge you're using i.e. destination charges. Not a Connect webhook endpoint.

[analog seal]

ahh I see.. But it will still work for connected accounts though right?

[jaunty steppe]

there's some confusion here - in short, Account webhook listens for events that occur on your own account. For destination charges, the Checkout Session exists on your account, not on the connected account.

Basically I want the charge/fee to go from end user to connected service provider and I will take a commision en route..

I see! Thanks Alex, really appreciate it. Been banging my head against the wall for hours on this!

[jaunty steppe]

hmmm

Basically I want the charge/fee to go from end user to connected service provider and I will take a commision en route.

who will be the merchant on the customer's bank statement? You / the connected account?

[analog seal]

Me (My business)

Ideally

Imagine something similar to Just Eat (as an example)

[jaunty steppe]

are you using Custom / Express / Standard accounts?

[analog seal]

express

[jaunty steppe]

yep, it's all correct then. For reference, it might be easier to envision the flow for destination charges if you look at the diagram here : https://docs.stripe.com/connect/destination-charges?platform=web&ui=stripe-hosted#flow-of-funds-app-fee

perfect, thanks mate
