@ywain so I cant do anything to reduce those fees?

birdy247: it's not possible to have reduced fees for charges created specifically by your platform directly on the connected accounts. You can either: - keep creating charges directly, and the account's rates will be applied (so it'd be up to each account to negotiate reduced rates), or - create charges with `destination`, in which case your platform's rates will be applied

ywain: If they use managed accounts, would the connected accounts still be on the default fee structure? Or would they derive from the platform?

@korben good question

I think managed accounts get the default fee structure for their country when they are created, just like standalone accounts. But typically with managed accounts, charges are created with `destination` so the account's own plan is not relevant

birdy247: Is there a reason you're doing a charge as the connected account? You could always just override the statement descriptor and do a destination charge, unless it's for some weird accounting purposes.

@korben I thought this changed all the legal implications

i.e. if the connect account were to go bust

who would be responsible

@korben Yeah, the liability would fall on you in that case.

afaik

#notalawyer

its annoying in a way

because I charge a flat %

so I consume the stripe fees

so the lower the stripe fees, the less margin it eats out of my flat %

Gimme one second. I'm gonna check something.

ok

birdy247: Yeah, I think I'm correct.

We are trying to process payments through the dashboard but a number of them failed fraud check? These are business expense cards, any idea how to remedy so we are able to bill our customers?

@korben Stripe provides you with the flexibility to set a custom statement descriptor to either the platform or your user’s business name, which will appear on customers’ credit card statements.

is that true?

I thought it gave full flexibility for names outside of that

Working through this - all in test mode atm. Really great setup, thanks. Trying have an account connect to my platform.

having an issue changing a users subscription from cancel_at_period_end is false to true: Stripe::InvalidRequestError: (Status 400) (Request req_8MOJsrZF1OxGAB) Received unknown parameter: cancel_at_period_end

birdy247: I think that's just phrased poorly. I'm fairly certain you can set it to whatever you want.

bobwalsh: when cancelling the subscription, the parameter's name is `at_period_end`: https://stripe.com/docs/api#cancel_subscription...

still have the same problem: 1. subscription = customer.subscriptions.retrieve(user.stripe_subscription_id) 2. subscription.at_period_end=true 3. subscription.save gets back: Stripe::InvalidRequestError: (Status 400) (Request req_8MOR0N5lGO39k0) Received unknown parameter: at_period_end

bobwalsh: cancelling a subscription is a different request than updating it: https://stripe.com/docs/api/ruby#cancel_subscri...

I don't want to cancel it; I want to update if from cancel_at_end = false to true

bobwalsh: to do that, you need to cancel it with `at_period_end` set to true

but so it will be changed to at_period_end = true, but won't perform a delete?

bobwalsh: yep. in other words, it will schedule the subscription to be cancelled at the end of the period, not cancel it right away

so subcription.cancel(at_period_end: true).save ??

hey guys. great app. in development, webhooks set up and testing fine.

not getting an event when a customer joins my platform.

not sure what I'm missing as tests run fine and its set to all events...

nhwilly : can you give more information?

ok, using the authentication oauth process. they click and I send them to stripe where it asks them to connect an existing account to my app.

I click OK and they are returning to my site with the access_token and publishable key, etc.

just not firing a sign up event.

i presume that event fires on my platform account and not theirs, correct?

there are no events at all for that so it's expected

well that's the easy one, eh? thanks

sure! :)

what's the best way to know if someone signs up? track it on my end, right?

when the token returns...

ywain: so in ruby that's subscription.cancel(at_period_end: true) then subscription.save ??

well your code is already taking care of that since the user is redirected to your website and you exchange the authorization code for their credentials. So at that step you already know about the connection

ok, thanks guys. i get it. on to the next step!

love the platform.

hey one more things.

bobwalsh no it's customer.subscriptions.retrieve("sub_8MOfbnLOOj0PNu").delete(at_period_end: true)

got it: thanks!

Hello, I have a quick question,

if I use stripe.js to capture credit card, I get token, and when I sent that token to php via ajax

how can I make sure that someone didn't tamper with that token

how can I make sure that token is valid

sicimi: You can retrieve the token again using the ID and the Retrieve a Token [1] API Request.

[1] https://stripe.com/docs/api#retrieve_token

I had that in mind,

the second question

will retrieve_token use up my token

since token is for one-use

It's especially useful for guaranteeing that they didn't try and bypass CVC checks by tampering with your form/javascript.

Nope.

It's not going to be used until you (a) attach it to a customer or (b) charge it.

thank you very very much korben

You're very welcome, freen. :D I hope that answered your questions.

you did :)

i am attempting to integrate stripe into an android application

in my layout.xml file, i am getting this error: unsupported type 'TextView'

any idea how to fix this?

aea: What are you nesting the TextView under?

nested under LinearLayout

specifically: <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/a...;

Hrmm. Mind sending over the xml in a gist?

how do i do that?

Click on the "Text" tab in the bottom left, then copy and paste the contents into a new gist at https://gist.github.com/

Make it private and send me a link.

thanks!

aea: I'll be back to you in a shake.

aea: So I'm not seeing any errors in this XML. In fact, it renders fine on mine. There are a few minor nitpicky details that it yells about as a warning, but nothing significant.

What android version are you using to render the layout?

I'm using 23.

I'm using 23 (v6.0).

21 (v4.0)

i was using 23 before but my gradle was giving me problems

Yeah, that's my target version. Still nothing. Interesting. You might wanna just try googling the error message. There's nothing obviously wrong with this layout, so the problem might lay in the weeds of your gradle configuration.

okay ive been googling and have not found anything

any other suggestions in terms of what could be the problem

Hrmm. Sorry, not really. I'm only half way through my Android development textbook. lol. You might see if there's an #android channel on IRC. They could possibly help.

on Freenode* rather.
