#Pastelito - subscription destination charges
lime remnant
Hello, yes that is correct. With that parameter you tell us how much to send to the test account and your account keeps the rest, minus the Stripe fee. We also have another parameter, application_fee_percent that defines the same thing but the opposite way: you choose how much your platform keeps and the rest gets sent to the connected account https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-application_fee_percent

okey thanks you man
i see that in one of the cases, the fee percent is calculates and the total charge is = charge + fee. and i dont want to do that i want to the price the client see, they pay and the fees and taxes be subtracted from there
if i setup the destination acc and the percent, stripe will take the fees and taxes from the rest?

Good questions. So basically you want to take the stripe fee + taxes out of what the user gets?
Otherwise can you try explaining your scenario a bit more? If you get paid $10 here, how do you want that to be split up?
junior hollow
this is an example, the subscriptions are for a group of users in a social network
the value to join the group is 100USD/month
the subscriber pays 100/month
the owner of the group takes 60USD
the owner of the social network takes 40USD - stripe fees - taxes

Gotcha, that is helpful. Checking in to how you can do this. To my knowledge, there aren't settings to pass those fees on so you may have to either set this percentage higher to account for those (3% for Stripe fees + tax rate or some average rate), or you may need to do something like debiting these connected accounts for the difference
What country is your platform account in? And do you know where your connected accounts will be?
junior hollow
I think will be all in USA... but I don't really know
lime remnant
If it is all US, you can use our account debit functionality. But that only works when the platform and connected account are in the same country https://stripe.com/docs/connect/account-debits
Looking in to how you can just set the fees yourself. Like I said, I think you can just bump up the percentage that you take, that might not 100% line up with the exact fees and tax, but it might be close enough for your purposes.
junior hollow
oh, and what do you recommecd if the acc are not in the same country?
the platform always take the 40% of all the payments, can i set this up in the dashboard or i need to do it on code?
lime remnant
There are a couple ways to do each of these. Taking a step back first, the social network here is your platform and the group is your connected account, correct?
junior hollow
yes, that’s correct
lime remnant
And you want your platform to pay the taxes and Stripe fees, the user gets a flat percentage of the payment?
junior hollow
yes, the owner of the group (or customer of the product) gets a flat percent (60%) of the payment, the stripe fees and other taxes will be taken from the 40%, the platform gets the rest of this, for example a 30% or more
but the connected account will get the 60% flat
lime remnant
Okay gotcha, that is actually easier because the Stripe fee is automatically taken out of the funds that the platform gets
junior hollow
nice
lime remnant
Also, I apologize but I had this mixed up earlier. Debiting the connected accounts is not necessary at all here
I think the tax might automatically come out of your funds as well here but I need to confirm that
junior hollow
okey, i need to ask for that, dont worry
for now, if i do this
i send a percent to the account destination
the rest will stay in the admin account?
lime remnant
Correct
lime remnant
Of course, glad we could clear this up!
