For the /charge API, is there a way we can get the exchange rate in its response?
desert hedge
yes it's on the BalanceTransaction associated with a given Charge https://stripe.com/docs/api/balance_transactions/object#balance_transaction_object-exchange_rate

I see, so I need make a second call to put the "id" returned in the response of /charge API to the https://api.stripe.com/v1/balance_transactions/:id
then I can fetch the exchange rate at the time /charge happens, is that correct?
desert hedge
you can get it as part of the creation using our Expand feature: https://stripe.com/docs/expand
pliant ruin
got it, but we have no way to know the exchange rate before the charge happens, right?
the charge I was talking about is the broad "transaction" for foreign currencies
desert hedge
you can't know before no. You can know on charge creation
pliant ruin
I see, the exchange rate returned in https://stripe.com/docs/api/balance_transactions/object#balance_transaction_object-exchange_rate would be the actual settlement exchange, is that correct?
desert hedge
it would be the exchange rate we used when we convert funds.
like you charge 100€, you get $106 and we show you the exchange rate we applied
pliant ruin
what's the difference between the settlement funds with the funds above mentioned?
desert hedge
I don't understand what you're asking sorry
pliant ruin
it would be the exchange rate we used when we convert funds.
the $106 would be the settlement funds, is that correct?
or the settlement exchange rate would be different than the rate we get the $106
