Hi @dancoburn89, this is a good question. The most straightforward way to get the connected account to cover the Stripe fee is to use direct charges. Unfortunately, my plugin doesn’t currently support direct charges, but I am hoping to add them over the next month or so.
An alternative approach you could use with my plugin in the meantime is to use the ‘Separate Charges and Transfer’ approach (see section 2 of this guide for full details). Using this approach you could:
- Have the platform account receive the full value of the payment initially (and also have the platform account pay the Stripe fees)
- Transfer the appropriate amount to the connected account LESS the Stripe fee you’ve paid
This way the connected account is effectively paying the Stripe fee, albeit in an indirect way.
Hope that makes sense and if you’ve any other questions let me know
