Not before the transaction, unfortunately, however you can do a test Transaction, then look at its Balance Transaction's fee breakdown, then reverse-calculate an amount 10x so that you will get $100

so there is no option either for the customer to select does they want the fee to be included or to give it on top of it (since it's about donations) ?

You can present a selectionbox/ checkbox for them, then accordingly calculate the amount to generate a new PaymentIntent

I mean within the hosted checkout session on stripe side ? not with modifying my page

hi! I'm taking over this thread.

#

no, you cannot show on the Checkout Session the Stripe fee.

dry scarab
#

so it has to be deducted from the shown price ? is there a way to use some flag for checkout where it will display different price (with or w/o fees) at least ?

so it has to be deducted from the shown price ?
what do you mean? if the user needs to pay $100, then they pay $100, and you'll receive around $97 (the rest goes to Stripe).

#

is there a way to use some flag for checkout where it will display different price (with or w/o fees) at least ?
if your set the price to $100, it will show $100 on the page.

I meant that if I set price to 100, to show user ~104 automatically (using some flag) in order to cover fees

#

btw is there any document where the fees are defined in order to do fee calculations manually and show to the user that if there is no other option ?

#

to be more clear and give you some context... the thing is that we are doing donations, so it's not like a fixed price of some product, so we want to be transparent to the user and let them know exactly how much went on what

not possible. but that something you can do on your end: try to guess the Stripe fee, and increase your price accordingly.

you could write on the Checkout Session itself something like: "2.9% of the amount are for payment processing fees."

#

the issue is that we don't know which payment method user will use, and that could change the fee right? whether it's gonna be card, international card, ach, etc

true

#

there no real solution to this. you can't know the Stripe fee in advance, since it depends on the payment method used.

#

you could try to compute an average, and say something like "about 4% of the amount are for payment processing fees". but somethimes it will be less, sometimes it will be more.
