I can share more on what I'm thinking or explain our setup a bit better if needed 🙂

[gleaming jay]

hello! Are your connected account and platform all in the same country? Or are they potentially in different regions / countries?

[runic grail]

they are potentially in different countries yes

well not potentially... they are 🙂

but mostly EU and USA

[gleaming jay]

hmmmm, i would say that potentially there might be since the settlement currency is different and there might be some FX fees involved. You might want to test things out to be certain though.

[runic grail]

If we create a transfer reversal specifying an amount in usd on an account that settles in pounds, would that incur any additional fees from Stripe on conversions? I'm not seeing it discussed specifically in the pricing

[gleaming jay]

I don't really know the answer to this off the top of my head unfortunately . We're generally more focused on API questions here and not so much on fees. You may want to reach out to our Support team : https://support.stripe.com/contact and they should be able to advise you on that

One option that you can consider is using the authorize and capture payment flow :  https://stripe.com/docs/payments/place-a-hold-on-a-payment-method . You would :
 Include  capture_method=manual [0] when creating the Checkout Session. After the payment is authorized, you can decide the amount you need to have as the application fee. Then call the Capture API and change/set the application fee amount :  https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/capture#capture_payment_intent-application_fee_amount

That's a nice idea! Thank you. I'll reach out to the support team on the fees question. We'll play around and decide what's the best strategy for us going forward.

[gleaming jay]

wanted to mention, that this is only applicable for mode=payment

[runic grail]

Thanks... there was one more question then we are good.

is there a way to fetch what the Stripe fee amount was on a charge? is that info embedded in any of the objects we could retrieve after a checkout session is complete?

👋 taking over for my colleague. Let me catch up.

yes https://docs.stripe.com/expand/use-cases#stripe-fee-for-payment

[runic grail]

Awesome stuff. I think we have what we need for now 🙂
