Hello 👋
Not sure, can you share the request ID for your dashboard where you are seeing this error?

mighty moon Mar 1, 2023, 2:12 PM

#

It's on a connected account on our platform, not sure i have a request id, one moment

#

@split shell how can i get the request ID?

#

what type of connected account is this? Can you share its account ID?

#

correction! it seems to be happening during a coupon creation, not subscription checkout

split shell Mar 1, 2023, 2:16 PM

#

Ah I think it doesn't like the currencies just out in the open

#

You need to nest it under currency_options
https://stripe.com/docs/api/coupons/create#create_coupon-currency_options

#

yep, now it returns The coupon default currency (usd) does not match the line item currency (gbp).

#

does this mean that even if i specify all the possible currencies, the coupon must always have the correct inline item currency? doesn't make much sense

#

can you share the request ID again?

#

I mean for the new request

here: req_0jCNewN5clsN9u

#

I am curious if the API throws an error if you don't set the currency: usd on the coupon and just pass that in to currency_options instead

#

hmm yeah maybe it will throw an error 🤔

mighty moon Mar 1, 2023, 2:26 PM

#

seems to be required on create coupon

split shell Mar 1, 2023, 2:33 PM

#

hmm thinking..

#

okay thanks for waiting @mighty moon
I reached out to a colleague and I think we know why this is happening

#

The session attempted to localise to a currency that was not an option of one of the involved objects, and therefore attempted to fallback to the default but there’s a mismatch (GBP/USD).

https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout/present-local-currencies#:~:text=If Checkout can’t localize the currency because the relevant currency option or tax_behavior is missing%2C the Session is presented to the customer in the default currency. Therefore%2C the default currency needs to be the same across all Prices%2C Shipping Rates%2C and Coupons with amount_off

#

You basically need to have the same default currency option on the price and the coupon (gbp)
It’s a tricky matrix, but if you're using multi currency objects you should basically create all objects with the same default currency
