hi there!
what you shared is a regular PaymentIntent, so it's not tied to any connected account. that's why you can't use application_fee_amount.
do you want to create a Direct Charge, a Destination Charge, or a Separate Charge & Transfer? https://docs.stripe.com/connect/charges

I want to do a Direct Charge
I need the money to go directly to the connected account and I need to charge a commission, then I also need that once the payment is made to the connected account, to make one or more transfers to other accounts that are affiliates. How can I do this?

Oka, and how can I then make transfers from this connected account to other accounts?

I tried to do what you said, and now it tells me that it can't find the customer ID: req_nfpEhjM29llz34, why can this happen?
potent hull
that's normal. if you do a Direct Charge, then the customer object needs to be on the connected account, not the platform.

by setting `application_fee_amount`
Let me tell you how the flow is:
An organizer collects a sale (acct_1), our platform charges a usage fee (application_fee_amount), and then I need that from the money that "acct_1" has received, 2 transfers are made to "acct_2" and "acct_3". Is this possible?

This is a problem. Because customers register on the platform to then make purchases from different connected customers. Maybe this is not the flow I need to do, but should use “Destination charges”.

Direct Charge is still possible, but you would need to handle payment method cloning, which is a bit complex. you can learn more about this here: https://4242.io/videos/#direct-charges-on-multiple-accounts-with-cloning
Maybe this is not the flow I need to do, but should use “Destination charges”.
Destination Charges would work yes, since the customer is on the platform account.
but I recommend reading https://docs.stripe.com/connect/charges in details, because using Direct Charge or Destination Charges has many differences.

Oka! Thanks
