hi! you can't get the exchange rate before a charge really. That API is private/only some merchants have access to it.

You can get the exchange rate after a payment by looking at https://stripe.com/docs/api/balance_transactions/object#balance_transaction_object-exchange_rate

But I want to prevent these types of errors:

"Amount must convert to at least 50 cents. €0.46 converts to approximately $0.48."

So, before a Charge, verify amount, and if that is too small prevent it. Is that not possible?

best way would be to redesign how you take the payments so you can transfer more if possible , or you can check some external service for current exchange rates(which won't be the same as Stripe uses, but gives you an idea)

#

in general Stripe does not have great support for 'micropayments' like that

okay, got it, last question, just to confirm

#

Stripe has https://dashboard.stripe.com/currency_conversion

Its not available via API?
