Application Fee Subscription

[Konner]

Hey there, hope yall can help me with this

im making a subscription via API, and i want to set an application fee for that subscription

but i got this error message :

You can only apply an 'application_fee' when the request is made on behalf of another account (using an OAuth key or the Stripe-Account header).

Hey Konner,

The application_fee is only for Stripe Connect [1]. Can you confirm that you're attempting to create a Subscription for a connected account?

Creating a Subscription with this field requires that you specify which Connect account to create the subscription and subsequent invoices and charges on behalf of [2] or on directly [3].

Best,

CJ

Hi !!

i implemented all for subscriptions, i have no problem with that, my only problem is when i set the application fee % on an subscription got this error

You can only apply an 'application_fee' when the request is made on behalf of another account (using an OAuth key or the Stripe-Account header).

and i dont know what im missing on it.

thank you.

Hello,

The issue here is usually that you passed the wrong account id in the `Stripe-Account` header. Instead of passing the id of the a new connected account, you likely passed your own account id incorrectly, causing the request to fail. I would recommend that you triple check the id of the account you're passing and compare it to your own [1] to make sure they are different.

Otherwise, I would recommend following up with our support team instead.

All the best,

Remi
