Hi, taking a look here

• Creating PaymentIntent with a currency won't affect the customer
• We can't create a credit note and specify the currency for it
• We could likely create an invoice to force it, however this may impact our Billing Contract pricing on import significantly

This outlines that we may have to create an invoice. Again, we wouldn't want to pay for that:

You can update the customer's currency on the DB: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/customers

Hey @feral spindle ,

That's interesting, however we're importing users in very large volumes via an import script. Manually setting each one would take thousands of man-hours. Is there an option for us to set this programmatically via the API?

[feral spindle]

I see, you'd want to use https://stripe.com/docs/api/customer_balance_transactions/create in this case

When we use the API it is blocked: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_xZ7R1TmQJoizsV

When we use the DB, the same request works: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_Mjo7sf2fLMbueu

aha! That'll work. Shame we have to double our API calls.
