What type of fees are assessed on Direct Charges?

Direct Charges in the Stripe ecosystem involve a transaction between the customer and a connected account, typically in a marketplace or platform scenario. In this context, fees are assessed based on the activities and arrangements between the platform (main account) and the connected accounts.

Connected account fees are charged by the platform for providing the account services to the connected account. This could include a variety of services, such as payout management, compliance features, and other value-added services that the platform provides to its connected accounts. Additionally, pricing plan fees might be associated with the specific service tiers that the connected accounts select, influencing the overall cost structure.

Understanding that Direct Charges facilitate payments directly from customers to connected accounts, it follows that both connected account fees and pricing plan fees are relevant types of fees assessed. Other options would not fully encapsulate the scope of the fee structure for Direct Charges as they do not address the broader spectrum of fees that can involve both the platform and connected accounts.
