There's no "application fee" in separate charge and transfer scenario. Basically after the transfers, the remaining money is what the platform earns.

i.e., platform charged $100, and transferred $50 to account A and $40 to account B. Then $10 is what the platform earned.

Okay, and second point : can we customize PDF Invoices ? add a column in InvoiceItems lines, add a line from the addresses lines, text between footer and invoiceItems lines ?

You can customize the description property of the invoice (https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/update#update_invoice-description) I'm afraid that you can't customize the styling.

wild cobalt There's no "application fee" in separate charge and transfer scenario. Basically...

From a report/summary perspective, each month we would like to have a report of every fees/money the Platform has earned, like the Collected fees section (see screenshot), how can we have such summary of every collected fees (or total money the Platform has earned) ? Knowing that we use Charges/Transfer for our multi-store orders.

Hi! I'm taking over Jack Tan.

#

You could use the API to retrieve the application fees with https://stripe.com/docs/api/application_fees/list?lang=node

Hi @fiery badger, in fact with this call we can fetch the existing application fees entities but our aim is to create them (Done for Scenario 1 (Mono store purchase) but Failed for multi store purchase (scenario 2))

#

Sorry for the delay. For scenario 2 you could use Separate Charges & Transfers. But it's true that the fees will be handled differently, since you won't have a "fee" object.

Ultimately, our need is to retrieve the total amount of money the Platform has earned as a report. This could be possible using the Collected fee section (Export) in the dashboard, but since we use Separate Charges & Transfer, every collected fees will not appear in this section. How can we obtain such summary of money earned by the Platform ?

#

Got it! Let me think about this.

#

Unfortunately I’m not aware of any great solution. The income the platform makes is just the difference between the incoming charge that you charged the end-customer and the amount you transferred to the connected account.

#

It would mostly come down to using metadata and transfer_group to be able to tie a transfer to a certain payment. Then when reconciling, you match the transfer to the payment and compare the amounts

#

I understand, from an accounting perspective it is a bit difficult to go for such scenario
