New to stripe, and ruby. Trying to add an application fee to my stripe payment flow. The charges are all making it through to my stripe account, but I can't seem to figure out how/where to add the stripe application fee code.
charges/new.html.erb
<%= form_tag charges_path do %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<% if flash[:error].present? %>
<p><%= flash[:error] %></p>
<% end %>
</div>
<article>
<%= label_tag(:amount, 'Payment Amount:') %>
<%= text_field_tag(:amount) %>
</article>
<article>
<%= hidden_field_tag(:stripeToken) %>
</article>
<button id='donateButton'>Pay</button>
<% end %>
<script src="https://checkout.stripe.com/checkout.js"></script>
<script>
var handler = StripeCheckout.configure({
key: '<%= Rails.configuration.stripe[:publishable_key] %>',
locale: 'auto',
name: 'Payments',
description: 'Pay Someone',
token: function(token) {
$('input#stripeToken').val(token.id);
$('form').submit();
}
});
$('#donateButton').on('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('#error_explanation').html('');
var amount = $('input#amount').val();
amount = amount.replace(/\$/g, '').replace(/\,/g, '')
amount = parseFloat(amount);
if (isNaN(amount)) {
$('#error_explanation').html('<p>Please enter a valid amount in CAD ($).</p>');
}
else if (amount < 5.00) {
$('#error_explanation').html('<p>Wage amount must be at least $5.</p>');
}
else {
amount = amount * 100; // Needs to be an integer!
handler.open({
amount: Math.round(amount)
})
}
});
// Close Checkout on page navigation
$(window).on('popstate', function() {
handler.close();
});
</script>
charges_controller.rb
class ChargesController < ApplicationController
def new
end
def create
@amount = params[:amount]
@amount = @amount.gsub('$', '').gsub(',', '')
begin
@amount = Float(@amount).round(2)
rescue
flash[:error] = 'Charge not completed. Please enter a valid amount in USD ($).'
redirect_to new_charge_path
return
end
@amount = (@amount * 100).to_i # Must be an integer!
if @amount < 500
flash[:error] = 'Charge not completed. Donation amount must be at least $5.'
redirect_to new_charge_path
return
end
Stripe::Charge.create(
:amount => @amount,
:currency => 'usd',
:source => params[:stripeToken],
:description => 'Custom donation'
)
rescue Stripe::CardError => e
flash[:error] = e.message
redirect_to new_charge_path
end
end
As I've mentioned, the payment flow works fine, Stripe docs says it must be a number, but I would prefer a percentage if that is possible. this is the code given in the examples:
# See your keys here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/account/apikeys
Stripe.api_key = "secret key"
# Get the credit card details submitted by the form
token = params[:stripeToken]
# Create the charge with Stripe
charge = Stripe::Charge.create({
:amount => 1000, # amount in cents
:currency => "cad",
:source => token,
:description => "Example charge",
:application_fee => 123 # amount in cents
},
{:stripe_account => CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID}
)
I just dont know where or how to add the application fee code! my payment flow works in that the user can enter their own payment amount, and I cant seem to find any answers here or in the documentation which reflects the code in that form. I'm sure its a simple solution, but I'm very new to working with Stripe.
