#Andrew - Application Fees

Hello! We have a support article about this here: https://support.stripe.com/questions/passing-the-stripe-fee-on-to-customers
However, I don't think it covers exactly what you're asking about. I don't have anything specific to add beyond that though; generally we don't recommend passing fees on to customers as it's often prohibited by laws or regulations or whatnot.

It's my connect platform users the fee will be "passed" to. Using destination charges/transfers.
Oh i misread, i'm not passing the fees on top of a price the connect accounts just don't get the full amount of the charge and that's treated as processing fees.

There are fee_details on each Balance Transaction: https://stripe.com/docs/api/balance_transactions/object#balance_transaction_object-fee_details
Would that help?

Nah i'm thinking more of if i get a special discount on processing fees after a certain threshold. would my stripe account have the details of how much the Stripe fees are.
Fresh account -> stripe.retrieveAccountFeeDetails() -> (percentage: 2.9, cents: 30)
Discounted account -> stripe.retrieveAccountFeeDetails() -> (percentage: 2.5, cents: 25)
Basically like that. I know Terminal fees are smaller and i'd need to adjust per transaction type to calculate it.

I don't think that's really how it works, but I'm by no means well versed in our pricing.

I can hardcode the values but wondered if there's a more dynamic solution.
If i do get a discount fee rate i'd just redeploy the servers with the new amount or even store them in ENV vars or something.

@nimble thistle there isn't a way to write code for this unfortunately

Understandable. Maybe this should be a feature one day 👀. Thanks for the update!
