#

when the "0.25% + 25¢ per payout sent" connected account charge occurs:
A) WHICH account is charged - the platform account or the connected account?
B) PRECISELY WHICH "event" is emitted?

#

so far this answer has been "an event - here's the while list"

#

er... "whole" list

#

If the question is still not specifically technical enough (I'm a long time developer - I know the boundaries can be... vague), then I'll just wait on Support

Looking in to A. For B, you will want payout related events https://stripe.com/docs/connect/bank-debit-card-payouts#webhooks

Setting bank and debit card payouts

Stripe allows platforms to specify payouts for their connected accounts.

#

Here, probably payout.paid

#

Let me see what I can find here...

#

hokay, but they use a "payout" event for a charge? Or add it in as a fee on the next payout?

#

I'll note I am using express, not Custom; I don't control payouts to the connected accounts; I just transfer their funds to their account programatically

#

and then it MATTERS whether the charge is on the connected account (which I do not want) or on our platform account (which is our design goal)

#

Just checked your API documentation: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payouts/object

Stripe API reference – The payout object

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

#

there IS NO fee information for a payout

#

will it be in the balance_transaction?

#

If I am correct about which event this is, yes. Still looking

#

that would indicate that it will be subtracted from the connected_account balance...

#

so if I promise my connected accounts that my service is at NO COST to them, I would have to track the balance_transactions, and ADD IN the charge as an extra transfer to their NEXT payout, which would charge a 0.25% charge on those funds when payout occurs, then reimburse THOSE charges.... etc etc

#

(I'm asking similarly annoying detail questions to Google's Firebase team, and CodeSandbox's team, so I'm an equal-opportunity annoyance)

I'm still having trouble finding more info on this. I'd wait for support to get back to you. Once we know what the fees look like we'll better be able to tell you where in the API you can see them
