Application Fee Descriptions
The Application fee description field is a flexible way to set the description for application fees you earn via a Stripe Connect platform. You can:
- keep the application fee's original description, which will be along the lines of "Application fee from application MyApp for joebloggs@example.com (acct_1a2b3c4d)";
- or set a fixed text to be used for all application fee explanations;
- or combine a fixed text with information about the fee, via placeholders.
Here are the placeholders you can use to get information about the application fee.
| This placeholder... | ...will be replaced with | Rolled-up | Per charge |
|---|---|---|---|
| {{payout}} | The Stripe payout's ID, e.g. po_1FlH4lEsCnWGKipF0ziQpaBr | ||
| {{charge}} | The ID of the Stripe charge on which the fee was levied, e.g. ch_1FkY1ZEsCnWGKipFt4XK4Mbi | ||
| {{account}} | The ID of the connected account that paid your application fee | ||
| {{name}} | The name of the connected account that paid your application fee | ||
| {{email}} | The email of the connected account that paid your application fee | ||
| {{country}} | The country of the connected account that paid your application fee |
Metadata
This only applies to per-charge sales transactions, not rolled-up ones:
In addition to the placeholders above, you can pull out any metadata you like from the Stripe charge on which the fee was levied. To do so, write the name of the metadata between double curly brackets, e.g. {{orderNumber}}.
Please note that this is case-sensitive, i.e. the capitalisation of letters matters. For example, orderNumber is not the same as ordernumber.
