hi there!
The second option we are thinking, is to perform a transfer to the connected account after we receive the payment_intent.succeded event.
this is what we call a "separate charge & transfer", as is documented here: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/separate-charges-and-transfers
edgy socket
so it's defintely an option yes

We also set transfer_data.amount when we create the payment intent. Would you say it is better to leave it and create another transfer with the tip amount, or remove it and do a single transfer?
edgy socket
that's completely up to you. but may be simpler to do a Separate Charge & Transfer:
- get all the funds directly on your platform account with a regular payment
- then create a transfer with the amount you want to the connected account
One option is to use application_fee_amount, but that has implications on how the connected account see the fees, which makes it not valid for us
can you clarify what exactly us the issue with the connected account seeing the fee?
unborn jasper
That fee is for our b2b and b2c commissions and to pay Stripe fees, it will be different than the fee we report to our clients
edgy socket
got it
then yes I recommend Separate Charges & Transfer to have full control on what the connected account see

Thank you, good to verify it's a normal practice
edgy socket
happy to help 🙂
