Stripe Commission (Pass on to customer)

Need help Plugins
1

Hey,

I’d like to add a commission on top of the listing price with the Stripe plugin (e.g. if the commission is 20% and the price is $100, I charge the user $120, collect $20 and the seller gets the full $100), how can I do that? It seems as though Stripe only allows for substractive fees.

I have tried to workaround it by charging the user price1.2 and then setting the app fee as price0.2 but it doesn’t seem like the solution, and the processing fee is passed on to the seller as opposed to the buyer.

I think you can work around it with the following:

  1. Create a new charge in Stripe using the “Create a new charge with an amount and a fee” action in the plugin.
  2. Set the amount to be the listing price, and the fee to be the commission percentage (e.g. 20%). Stripe does not allow you straight up to use a percentage, you can, however, compute the value in the field using the Composer.

Let me know if it worked. Stripe has made it quite difficult to do blended pricing techniques. If you don’t find success with it, you can try either PriceWell (no-code layer on top of Stripe) or Stigg (SDK for blended pricing techniques)

Hello,

Thanks!

That is what I have tried but Stripe substracts the fee to the amount (as opposed to adding it) e.g. Stripe will give charge the user $100 and give me $20 commission, when it should charge the user $120 (20% on top of the amount) and give me $20. Do you know how to work around that or is it not possible using the plugin?

Regards

Charge the user what you want, then transfer to the seller what you want. Shouldn’t be overly complicated, if using API…not sure what stripe plugin by bubble allows.
