Idempotency and retries with stripe-python

Learn how to use idempotency for safely retrying requests without accidentally performing the same operation twice. This is useful when an API call is disrupted in transit and you do not receive a response. For example, if a request to create a charge does not respond due to a network connection error, you can retry the request with the same idempotency key to guarantee that no more than one charge is created. In this edition, Matthew shows us how to pass idempotency keys and automatically retry requests using the client library.

Hello, I just want to ask is it possible to do this:
There are two persons (ex. Marko and Tom) and Marko want to send $10 to Tom with my app. I need to forward payment to Tom's account and I to get 10% of that transaction for myself. Is there any solution to do it with Stripe? Thanks!
