Hi there 👋 apologies for the delay, but creating a thread for this topic. Thanks @sullen whale for helping, that's good advice.

Yeah no worries. It started getting long in the chat.

Thanks @sullen whale
Sorry, I think my question was not clear, let me explain a bit more...

We have a fundraising platform, organizations can connect their account to our platform and raise money through our product.

For the first 1000 dollars (for example) every month we don't charge a fee on the donation they get. Once they reach 1000 we start to charge a 1% fee on every donation/charge.

So the question again is how to handle subscriptions, because the application_fee_percent is submitted when we create the subscription, and maybe for the upcoming charge we want to charge a different fee

(👉 Is it maybe possible to charge a charge connected accounts directly from their account without requiring a payment method?
If so, we can do all the calculations by the end of the month and charge the fee then)

That's exactly what I said.

#

DO NOT Involve the sub

#

These are 1 off charges they are not part of the sub

#

You have to think of your Subscription agreement in terms of more of a sub structured model

#

While you might write in your "agreement" with your customer and in your "subscription agreement" this fee will apply. That doesn't mean it has to be involved with the sub itself in stripe. You can de construct this model.. Leave the sub a constant and only charge one off charges when you need to

#

It's also better for accounting for the company.

#

Because they are able to isolate the Fee vs their software sub

#

Which are typically categorized in two separate Chart of Accounts in Accounting.
