#valelcd - connect fees
molten forge
Hello
Do you already have an integration built?
Or are you considering options prior to developing at the moment?
languid sinew
we already have it all built out with a few live customers signed up via connect
molten forge
Ah ok I gotcha. So assuming you're using direct charges with standard connect accounts then?
languid sinew
yes!

Oh sorry I misread the question initially. I thought you wanted a way for the platform to cover the fees. So, if you are using direct charges with standard accounts, then the connect account is already responsible for the fees: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/direct-charges
The connected account is responsible for Stripe fees, refunds, and chargebacks.
languid sinew
oh hmm... maybe i'm using the wrong language? do you mean our clients (who signed up via the stripe connect invitation) are the ones paying the fee? because it looks like we are currently paying the fee and then money is being split after that.
languid sinew
sure, can i find that in dashboard? (i am not a dev, i am the PM!)

👋 stepping in here and catching up!

hi!

You are using destination charges so the fee will always be taken from your platform. You can't have the fee taken from the Connected Account, however you can transfer less funds to the Connected Account to cover the fee.
languid sinew
oh that's great. can you point me in the direction of how to transfer less funds?

Your developer would implement this. For the example above you are creating a Subscription. So https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-subscription_data-transfer_data-amount_percent is the param that you would adjust for how much is transferred.

fantastic thank you for your help!
