Hello 👋
I'm not fully clear on the usecase here honestly but have you looked into Account Debits?
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/account-debits

Let me give it a look 🧐
wise garnet
It is close/similar or the same thing that you'd do with charges API 😄
proven acorn
We have a Standard connected account and Account Debits is for Express or Custom 😅
I'll give it a look nevertheless and analize what wuold imply to change from Standard to any of the other two (I have honestly no idea)
wise garnet
Ah then it won't work for standard accounts unfortunately. 😦
Looking to see if there are any alternatives
proven acorn
Ok, thnaks
wise garnet
other than shifting to express or custom
proven acorn
Do you know if there is any other example on how to use the account debits?
The example for that page creates a Charge and that's it 😅
And I can't find anything about it on the API doc
wise garnet
I believe that's all you need for account debit (create a charge with source set to the connected account ID)
proven acorn
But this is how the Charges work, this is the test that I have already made
wise garnet
Ah gotcha. Apologies. Yeah, its the same thing!
proven acorn
The thing "I don't like" about it is that the stripe fee gets taken from that Charge amount.
I need to pass an exact amount from the Connected to the Platform.
I have made a few checks and I see that the fee is always around 1.4%
But is not fixed, so... is complicated to move the exact amount 😅
This is not possible to be configured so the Connected Account is the one paying the Stripe fee isn't it?
wise garnet
Not for an account debit charge, no.
I'm curious why it works with standard account as it really shouldn't.
wise garnet
haha. can you share a request ID for this charge you've created?
proven acorn
No, because you are going to remove the functionality 😶
I swear I have to leave now to take my dauther to some classes, I'll give it to you after that
wise garnet
😂
Alright. No worries. Before I forget though, another alternative would to collect payment details and charge them like they are a customer.
It'd still have some stripe fees associated though.
