@ember crescent Can you clarify what you mean by cover the transaction fee with a different card exactly?
If you charge $100 today, the customer pays $100, and then you as the business get $100 minus the Stripe fee so $96.8 today
To test email receipts in Test mode, just load the payment in the Dashboard and there's a Send receipt button next to the Receipt history section

In this case I want to just charge the customer the 96.8 for the product and pay the stripe fee directly.

I don't really grasp what that could mean. The customer never pay the Stripe fee. They pay whatever amount you charge them. If you want to charge them $96.8 you can, and you'll pay the Stripe fee on that which is $3.11 and you'll get the rest net so $93.69
my colleague @merry cliff is taking over and can answer any follow up questions!

k ... Okay well I guess then since our back office systems don't want to know about the fee, I will have to increase the price by the fee and display that to the customer. Then when the webhook comes in remove the fee or take the net paid to forward to other systems
merry cliff
That's up to you to decide how to manage, but ultimately the received amount will be net of the fees for whatever amount you charge your customer.
As mentioned here, it's important to be aware that adding an amount to pass on the fee may not be allowed in some jurisdictions:

okay. thank you. I will look at that document.
While we are chatting. Is there an api call to set up the account settings to auto send the receipt? I see the dashboard settings, but not the call to update the account.
merry cliff
No, that's a dashboard setting. What's the use case that has you looking for an API for this?
ember crescent
We will likely have many accounts, and I was thinking of writing an initialize script that would set things like this, but it's not a big deal for now, so I will just use the dashboard.

Sounds good 🙂
