The admin can select the stripe charge type from the options given in the dropdown list that Use Separate Transfer and Use Destination Charge. 

While Using Separate Transfer  – When using separate charges and transfers, the platform can collect fees on a charge by reducing the amount it transfers to the destination accounts. For example, consider a restaurant delivery service transaction that involves payments to the restaurant and to the driver:

  • The customer pays a 100 USD charge.
  • Stripe collects a 3.20 USD fee and adds the remaining 96.80 USD to the platform account’s pending balance.
  • The platform transfers 70 USD to the restaurant’s connected account and 20 USD to the driver’s connected account.
  • A platform fee of 6.80 USD remains in the platform account.

Note- Creating separate charges and transfers is only supported when both your platform and the connected account are in the same region: both in Europe or both in the U.S. And, the 3D secure payment is only supported with separate transfers.How a charge is divided into fees for the platform account and transfers for the connected accounts

While Using Direct Charge

Create direct charges when customers transact directly with a connected account, often unaware of your platform’s existence. You can add an application fee to the charge which is transferred to your platform’s account balance. With direct charges:

  • The payment appears as a charge on the connected account, not your platform’s account.
  • The connected account’s balance increases with every charge.
  • Your account balance increases with application fees from every charge.

While Using Destination Charge

The full charge amount (10.00 USD) is added to the connected account’s pending balance. The application_fee_amount (1.23 UShttps://webkul.com/blog/wordpress-woocommerce-marketplace-stripe-connect/D) is subtracted from the charge amount and is transferred to your platform. Then, Stripe fees (0.59 USD) are subtracted from the application_fee_amount and the remaining funds (0.64 USD) are added to your platform account’s balance.
