Enable Application Fee on Account

Questions

Hello, I’d like to request access to Collect Application Fees. I read the documentation at Collect Application Fees and it doesn’t specify how you enable the feature.

Any assistance would be Greatly Appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi @RCS - There’s no separate toggle or approval process to “enable” application fees - the feature is available to all developers by default. To collect application fees, you need to:

  1. Implement OAuth — sellers must authorize your app. You must use the seller’s OAuth access token (not your personal access token) when calling CreatePayment.
  2. Request the PAYMENTS_WRITE_ADDITIONAL_RECIPIENTS scope — this is the key OAuth permission that allows you to include app_fee_money in payment requests.
  3. Include app_fee_money in your CreatePayment request — this specifies the fee amount deposited to your developer account.

Both your developer account and the seller’s account must be in the same country, and your developer account must be activated for production.
