Hi there 👋 I'm not familiar with the contents of that video, can you share what approach it recommended to accomplish paying affiliates?

The video goes through setting up a PriceLink with transfer_data: { destination: referrer's StripeAccountId, amount: commission_rate } and when the Affiliate distributes the link and when users make a purchase a the amount is transferred to the referrer's account. I'm wondering if that will work if the product is a subscription and each month when the subscription renews, does the affiliate get the same amount again.

Hello! I'm taking over and catching up...
When you say "PriceLink" do you mean a Payment Link?

Sorry Yes Payment Link

It sounds like you probably want to use application_fee_percent instead: https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment-link/object#payment_link_object-application_fee_percent

But the description seems backwards, such that the Application Owner is us, and the connect account is the affiliate... We just want to give the affiliate a small portion. But I guess our application fee could be $14 or 0.9333 if doing application_fee_percent... so the affiliate/connect account is getting only $1.
I guess that will work.
