The processing fees are removed from the transaction, so you can consider that the donation amount is = transaction amount - processing fees
Thank you for responding. This is what happening and the charity is not happy with this. They (& myself) seen other charities offering their customers option to cover processing fees. Often donors covers the fees. I don't know if others are using stripe or not.
Is there any way to add the fees or calculate the fee reliably based on the amount?
Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by the customer covering the processing fees ?
Can you share a PaymentIntent or Chekcout Id ?
If I provide from test mode will it work for you?
Yes of course
just a moment
Yeah of course, take all the time you need
can I share session id (cs_test_***)?
yes

thanks, checking...
Ok so here, the customer paid £10 => Net amount is £9.47 sot they donated £9.47
Your business should consider that they donated £9.47 and not £10
I get your point. but as other charities allowing customer to cover their fees our client (we provided website to them) want to get $(assume pound sign)10 & charge the total amount to the customer when they give their consent
Here the Customer is covering the fees too. Who is paying the fees in your use case ?
The processing fees are deducted from the customer's transaction
you're correct. as they donor is paying $10 then obviously they're paing. But the thing is the charity wants to take whatever amount they display in their site, like for $10 they want to take $10
For example if you can see here : https://www.eastlondonmosque.org.uk/donate/donate-now/5/credit-card
They're offering a checkbox to cover processing fees just before Add payment details button
We need something like this. I've learned that displaying processing fees upfront in stripe may not be possible (is it?). So we wanted to just provide a checkbox to take their consent that if they want we'll include processing fee for whatever the amount they pay.
Ok I see what you mean, thank you for sharing that example.
It seems they are using an approximate processing fees. Because there is no way to know in advance the processing fees. That depends on the payment method used, the bank network...
What you can do actually is to do something simular
In your checkout, you can add optional items
You add a price called "processing fees"
That is okay but how do I calculate the fee reliably?
And you use a price with percentage approximatly to Stripe pricing %
https://stripe.com/pricing
As mentioned previously, there is no optimal way, you compute approximate %
you can't predict the exact processing fees.
okay,
According to standard fee (https://stripe.com/pricing) the price for $10 is $0.59. I wonder how do they (https://www.eastlondonmosque.org.uk/donate/donate-now/5/credit-card) showing $0.20 ?
We don't know much about pricing here. Sorry this channel is for technical integration channel. If you want to understand better how Stripe fees working, you need to reach out to Stripe Support: support.Stripe.com
oh! thank you.
Happy to help!
