I suppose leading on from this, are there any common business models or examples of application fee pricing available?

Hey Rikki. There's a good article for what you're looking for. here's a link https://support.stripe.com/questions/passing-the-stripe-fee-on-to-customers

Brilliant, thanks tarzan!
urban pine
That's only for the Stripe fees
hollow marlin
Ah yes, I see
urban pine
Just to make one thing clear, what do you mean by to the user. Do you mean your end customer or the Connected Account?
hollow marlin
In this case, the when I said user, I meant the Connected Account, apologies
urban pine
no worries there. In that case I don't think I sent you the right link
hollow marlin
Yeah it doesn't account for the application_fee. What I'm trying to determine is what sort of percentage/fee I should be charging Connected Accounts with the Stripe fees that will be also baked in.
With Express, it looks like the Platform absorbs those but leaves it open to handling chargebacks/refunds etc. And Express only supports 40 countries at the moment.
I'm thinking Standard might be better for my Platform app but need to get the pricing right so people actually use the service.
hollow marlin
Yes, I think I'm settling on Connect Standard with Direct Charges

So unfortunately there's no API that calculates the Stripe fees
but what you could do is you could hard code the pricing fees depending on the user location
you can find all the prices by visiting https://stripe.com/{country-code}/pricing
hollow marlin
Oh okay, that could work. Is there an endpoint for the fee rate?
urban pine
Unfortunately, this is a recurring feature request but it doesn't exist today
But what you can do is using test mode and creating charges to verify that the hard coded values are working fine
hollow marlin
Gotcha, +1 from me then!
