#collin54111 - connect invoice & fees
acoustic sandal
hey there!
You can set an application fee to be kept by your platform, but on invoices it needs to be specified as an amount (not a percent):
https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/create#create_invoice-application_fee_amount
You'd calculate that amount yourself using the desired percentage

Can I do that within the stripe platform, or would I have to build a separate platform

What do you mean? That's part of the API request to create the invoice
still stirrup
Oh I see, I misunderstood. Sorry, I'm relatively new to software development
So I could create a variable, say "x" and say x=.2 *amount paid then assign the value of "application_fee_amount": x
?
acoustic sandal
You'd do that in your code, yes, then send the amount you calculate as the application_fee_amount
still stirrup
How can I set that to go anytime a connected account sends an invoice?
acoustic sandal
Ah, you can't do that, this is for when you create the invoice as the platform
still stirrup
Ah shoot
