Great question, so our thinking on this is that with Subscriptions you don't always know in advance how much you will want to charge your customer.
A lot of things can change it one way or another, invoice items for extra fees, prorations, etc
If you don't like that solution, you directly set the application fee amount in cents by listening for the invoice.created event and making an invoice update call that passes your fee in cents to the application_fee param
Which unfortunately does not work for the first invoice as that is paid immediately so you do need to use the percentage there.

Makes sense! I'm assuming since the amount version is not listed in the api docs for subs, that it is not an option to use?
Would be cool if Subs could support both options 🙂

Correct, not on the subscription itself unfortunately but application_fee_amount when updating an invoice can get you this behavior for all but the first Invoice https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/update#update_invoice-application_fee_amount
I will raise your feedback internally!

Ok cool that makes sense. And thank you! Appreciate your time
