#Tjopsta - PaymentIntent

It appears that you're using custom connect with part destination and part direct charges. Let me take a step back and provide more information. With custom connect, destination charges work best and the customers and payment methods need to be on the Platform account. To learn more, please visit: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges#destination.

so my two options are:
- use direct charges but then the connect account will have the stripe fees on their account
- save all my customers' customer on the platform account
?

I wanted to make sure that we were on the same page. With custom connect, you would want to use destination charges and save the customer/ payment method on the Platform account, https://stripe.com/docs/connect/destination-charges.

yeah ok that makes sense
ok one more question if you dont mind. is it possible to create an ad hoc application fee transaction? or is that really just a transfer done from the connected account to the platform account?
scenario, I need to bill something to the connected account that doesn't come from a transaction. IE some other ad hoc fee
but for reporting purposes still want it to be called an "application fee"
asking cause there isn't a create endpoint for app fees

You could leverage the transfers API, https://stripe.com/docs/api/transfers/create?lang=go in this case.

ok. there's no cost of just doing a transfer in between the platform account and the connect account right? I can't see any pricing that relates to transfers on the pricing pages
warm basalt
I do not believe so.
manic ice
ok thanks for your help 🙂
