Affiliate / Revenue Split with Stripe

Wanting to see if there is any easy way (or integration) to split commissions on Stripe?

Looking to reward affiliates with 50% of a payment for example. What's the best way to do so?

    This is definitely not the easiest but We had to work around Stripe to be able to pay out to our customers on our platform. We didn't want to take the 30 cent fees per transaction so we kept track of the transactions in our own database. You could do something similar. Keep track of the transactions so that then you can know how much to pay out to an affiliate. Then you can automate it with connect.

    I'm working on a project, that would do the same.
    I'm assuming the affiliate will have Stripe account.

    There are 2 ways to do it.

    1. it will require affiliate to have Stripe account. You will then have to use Stripe Connect (standard). You can then use following "transfer" API. https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges-transfers.

    2. Second opinion is similar to above except, instead of using transfer API, you would use your card and create a charge/payment to affiliate account. Unlike, above with this the affiliate will have to pay Stripe processing fees.

    I hope it helps.

    In my project, I have option for delayed payment. Incase if you offer trial or 30 days refund.

      Should be possible with Stripe Connect, but it's a little cumbersome
