39.97 * 0.029 + 0.3 = 1.45913

Hello there

The processing fee varies based on the type of card used, for instance international cards are more expensive.
If you want to calculate the fee then you need to collect the payment method first, so you would use our two step flow: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/build-a-two-step-confirmation
wind swan
okay let me check that link out
twin parrot
I'd also note that the fee is inlcuded in the amount so you can't just do a simple calculation here
Overall, I'd recommend not trying to do this at all.
wind swan
the thing is i am using stripe connect, and passing in a transfer data for a recurring fixed amount.
twin parrot
Instead just pick a set amount that you want to set aside for fees.
wind swan
but i need to be sure that the transfer data accurately considers the payment fees
twin parrot
Yeah that's what I'm saying -- I'd recommend just not doing that.
Otherwise you have to do a complex calculation as well as collect the payment method up front.
And you need different calculation for each differnet kind of payment method you are going to support
wind swan
okay
twin parrot
Really you should just set an amount, like 3%, or something like that.
That is what we recommend here.
twin parrot
Sure
