#

upon a closer look, it seems the API includes the fee into the exchange rate

#

but this is super confusing because the fee field is listed as 0

How far apart in time are those screenshots? Consider that the exchange rates change constantly and can be different minute-by-minute

#

those screenshots are referring to the same underlying payment, just viewed via the dashboard vs the API

#

so the exchange rate should be the same for both

#

(i assume the exchange rate given is not the live exchange rate, but rather the rate at the time of the transaction)

Ahhh, okay. That makes sense. Let me dig on this for a moment

#

thanks! If it helps, I can see that the difference comes from the fact that exchange_rate via the API includes the stripe 1% fee while the dashboard separates it out

#

but i think this behavior is pretty confusing, especially since fee: 0 is returned in the API

#

Ahhh, okay. yeah, lumping those together seems a bit unintuitive, but everything appears to be acting as expected

#

got it - I can do some janky logic on my end to figure out the original amounts (add 1% back to the exchange rate and do the math), but it's not ideal

#

please pass along the feedback to the team!

#

and I appreciate the help
