This is the first step towards the "marketplace" feature of WePay or PayPal, which is great. But it's not very useful unless I can add a fee for myself.

On a $100 purchase, I should be able to split the money so that $3.20 goes to Stripe, $1.00 goes to me, and $95.80 goes to the seller. Without that ability, I have to make up a separate billing arrangement with the seller, either a flat rate (eg subscription) or calculating fees and billing them post-hoc - messy and unreliable.

Does this mean there is no way to even charge sellers who use your service, other than requiring them to fill out their own credit card on your site? That seems like an extra hassle for setting up a service that charges users for use of the marketplace.

I just tried this with my own Stripe account but it requested my business details all over again. Is it not able to use the details I first signed up with?

"Stripe works just as it normally would: we deposit the money into your users' bank accounts on a rolling seven day basis." I can also use WePay, which deposits the money immediately and gives me a marketplace feature (I can take a chunk out of the payment for myself).

Stripe has fee-splitting. See my link above.

Very cool :-) I just tried it for Buffer and the numbers were a little off, but love the thinking!

Yes, there a number of assumptions and simplifications made due to the easiest-available data from Stripe. Pull requests welcome: https://github.com/zapier/stripeboard
