I don't understand the use case for application fee with global payouts. Can you describe more? Wouldn't you just send the recipient less money?
winged geyser
that would mean i need to debit the funding bank account for a larger sum to cover the fees we want to take from them, correct? I'm just worried if i don't go through official stripe mechanisms that will i have regulatory issues
winged geyser
yeah we're a platform that wants to allow its users to send money to pay their vendors
and we want to take a fee from our users when they send this money
we currently use stripe connect for our users to receive money, but we're missing that sending money out piece that we're thinking about using global payouts for
winged geyser
no they're on express
tropic girder
Ah cool
You should be able to just do an account debit for the fee then: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/account-debits
winged geyser
hmm but i think the 1.5% extra cost is not viable for us
if we have to just debit extra money from our users' bank accounts that's fine, just want to know the correct way to do this.
