stripe connect application fee not collecting
Missing Connect application fees look like ‘sellers got everything.’ Audit fee collection, then share platform vs seller nets separately.
The actual problem
Marketplace Connect charges succeed but application_fee_amount is missing or zero — platform revenue silently drops.
Do this
- Sample 20 recent connected charges for application_fee_amount.
- Confirm fee logic in create PaymentIntent / Checkout Session.
- Re-test both destination and separate charges flows.
- Alert when fee rate drifts below policy for 24h.
