I know there are many alternatives to Stripe itself.
But what about alternatives for Stripe Connect, i.e. a platform to handle payments for many users?
All I need is a Stripe Connect alternative that allows me to accept payments on behalf of my users' users, and take an application fee/commission in the process.
Interesting.
What about the application fee aspect then?
Do you take a cut of your users' payments?
If yes, do you just manually program it in your back-end?
Wouldn't the payment platform notice that a large amount of traffic, using a large variety of personal API keys, is coming from your server's IP?
And thus ban your IP?
Because personal API keys aren't meant to be used like that.
I'm doing this exactly for a social scheduling app I have (since Elon Musk changed the Twitter/X API, I made my users bring their own API keys), but this isn't without it's own challenges.
How does "bring your own API key" work for other platforms?
Can you give me an example?

What's stopping you from doing a fee?
For example:
If checkout amount is $10, you want a $1 fee, just do:
Doesn't that work?
