Hi 👋
I"m afraid I don't understand what you mean by that. Can you describe what Stripe products you are using?
dusky mesa
in my platform there is buy or bid
the sellers ask is 100$
but yhe buyer bid is 90$
incase the seller accepted the buyer bid which is 90$ , it should charged the buyer his bid amount directly

Hi 👋 There are multiple threads I'm in so I cannot always respond right away
And you haven't told me anything about how you are using Stripe yet
dusky mesa
no issue take your time
i haven't yet using it with my platform as we stuck on bids ( need to connect the api )
but am not sure which plan should i take to charge the buyer his bid amount directly

Okay so this is the application you are building and you are wondering what Stripe APIs to integrate with?
agile egret
No I do not
dusky mesa
for bids ( when the seller accept the buyer bid )
like if the seller accepted the buyer bid which is 90$ he should directly got charged the 90$

Okay well Stripe does not have specific APIs for this sort of auction behavior. But once you know the price you want to charge a party you could use a Payment Intent to charge the funds and Stripe.JS to capture payment method details
In this case your application would need to handle the business logic to determine how much an individual should be charged, capture details like the seller asking amount and such. But once you know how much the buyer/seller will settle for you can use Stripe to collect the payment.
You could also use the metadata property of the Payment Intent to store some of those details so when you reconcile the payments with the transaction, you have the information you need.
