Hi 👋

So your Stripe Account settlement currency is BRL?

deep parcel Oct 31, 2022, 5:08 PM

#

From my main account?

#

From my main account, I've configure my bank information and set my paymento to BRL

#

But this error, currency_not_supported, happen when a try make a payment as a client, using the Stripe API

#

As if I were going to charge a client of mine

balmy kernel Oct 31, 2022, 5:10 PM

#

when a try make a payment as a client
What does that mean? Do you have example API request IDs I can review?

Here's how you can find a request ID: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

deep parcel Oct 31, 2022, 5:10 PM

#

Yes, shure

#

*Yes, sure

#

Here when I create a payment intent:

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.stripe.com/v1/payment_intents' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic eHh4Og==' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode 'amount=200' \
--data-urlencode 'currency=USD' \
--data-urlencode 'customer=xxx' \
--data-urlencode 'payment_method=xxx' \
--data-urlencode 'description=Aureo.io - Additional credits'

#

And here my confirmation

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.stripe.com/v1/payment_intents/pi_3Lz1WjIdGO9QKCsp1dVqJ9yb/confirm' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic eHh4Og==' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode 'receipt_email=xxxx'

#

So, I run this requests, to make a charge of my client, when they buy something on my platform

#

Right now, I'm in test mode, and in Live, I tried make this payment with my credit card

balmy kernel Oct 31, 2022, 5:15 PM

#

Your card is not supported for this currency. You can only charge Brazilian cards in BRL in Brazil
This error message is correct. You can only charge Brazilian cards in BRL.

deep parcel Oct 31, 2022, 5:15 PM

#

So that my point

#

I need charge all my clients in USD

balmy kernel Oct 31, 2022, 5:15 PM

#

Like this request: https://dashboard.stripe.com/logs/req_7xyWAf5REl2oBf

deep parcel Oct 31, 2022, 5:16 PM

#

And my credit card is international

#

First question

#

Why I can't buy in USD if my credit card is international and I already buyed a lot things in USD?

#

Second question, Stripe have some automatic currency conversion based on credit card country?

balmy kernel Oct 31, 2022, 5:19 PM

#

This is an issue with international banking regulations and you can reach out to https://support.stripe.com for more information. However, as far as the API is concerned, you would need to use a different card (or your customers).

Stripe have some automatic currency conversion based on credit card country
Stripe will convert from the currency a charge is made in to the settlement currency of the Stripe Account.

deep parcel Oct 31, 2022, 5:20 PM

#

About the second question

balmy kernel Oct 31, 2022, 5:21 PM

#

We document the processes around currency conversions here: https://stripe.com/docs/currencies/conversions

deep parcel Oct 31, 2022, 5:21 PM

#

Are Stripe convert the currency for my client charge in they credit card right currency?

balmy kernel Oct 31, 2022, 5:22 PM

#

No, it's the currency you make the charge for

#

This bit

--data-urlencode 'currency=USD' \

deep parcel Oct 31, 2022, 5:23 PM

#

Right, for I can charge my clients in USD, I need to change my settlement currency to USD?

#

Now I'm understand

#

Thanks

#

Let me try make some test

balmy kernel Oct 31, 2022, 5:24 PM

#

No you should be find to keep your settlement currency. The only issue with charging your customers in USD is they need to use USD cards

deep parcel Oct 31, 2022, 5:25 PM

#

Ok, but in the case of my clients don't have a USD cards

#

Stripe can convert automatically to the currency of the client credit card?

uneven gust Oct 31, 2022, 5:26 PM

#

👋 stepping in as Snufkin needs to step away

deep parcel Oct 31, 2022, 5:26 PM

#

Well, ok

uneven gust Oct 31, 2022, 5:27 PM

#

So yeah as you noted, it is a requirement to charge Brazilian cards in BRL. We document that here: https://stripe.com/docs/currencies?presentment-currency=BR#presentment-currencies

#

Do you have a Brazilian Stripe Account?

deep parcel Oct 31, 2022, 5:28 PM

#

Yes!

#

Ok, then for all my BRL clients I need to make de exchange for BRL manually?

uneven gust Oct 31, 2022, 5:31 PM

#

Yes you will need to manually calculate the conversion if you want to charge a USD equivalent. However, also important to note that you can only settle in BRL for a Brazil accounts as well: https://stripe.com/docs/payouts#supported-accounts-and-settlement-currencies

#

So you can't settle in USD here

deep parcel Oct 31, 2022, 5:59 PM

#

Do you have an API to do the from-to country and currency?

uneven gust Oct 31, 2022, 6:01 PM

#

If you use Stripe Checkout you can present in multiple currencies and we will localize for you. See: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout/present-local-currencies
