CheckoutAPI: Collecting Developer App Fees from AdditionalRecipients[]

Questions
1

Each time a merchant’s customer places an online order using my app, I collect $0.50 from the order total. (A developer fee)

I’m using:

  1. Square NuGet package 6.0.0
    https://github.com/square/square-dotnet-sdk

  2. .NET Core 3.1

  3. Square API: 06/25/2020

I construct the CreateCheckoutRequest and populate the field additionalRecipients[]
with a new ChargeRequestAdditionalRecipient object and set amountMoney field to 50 which would be a $0.50 application fee.
More information on CheckoutAPI:

However, when I go back to my Square Dashboard and navigate to Balance (after a merchant’s online customer places an order and pays for it online using my app and Square API) I don’t see my funds getting deposited from the fees I’m collecting.

Funny thing too - Before I activated my Square Business Card, I was seeing the transactions. I don’t know if this is relevant but just throwing this in for information.

Anyone else collecting developer fees using the CheckoutAPI and hosted Square Checkout page?

Could you share your application id and I’ll take a look on our side to see what’s going on?
