Hey @twin mirage, there is no API of that shape today unfortunately, you'll have to do the math yourself

twin mirage Mar 14, 2023, 4:25 PM

#

oh ok got it.

#

@sharp edge but how to detect if there is any additional fee (like international card or currency conversion) from the given data

sharp edge Mar 14, 2023, 4:33 PM

#

There isn't a way today to do anything like this unfortunately

twin mirage Mar 14, 2023, 5:07 PM

#

so that all we can do is charge the customer and can't be sure if the amount is right or not?

sharp edge Mar 14, 2023, 5:08 PM

#

I mean it depends a lot on your entire integration path. There are numerous ways to integrate with Stripe for example. And it depends what you are really trying to do.

#

got it. Current use case of mine is trying to let customers use their credit cards to make payments online. but the stripe fee should also be added as a total amount. So that's why I'm asking about the fee-calculated stuff.

#

like to ascertain the amount of the fee

sharp edge Mar 14, 2023, 5:12 PM

#

ah so you want to pass the fee to the customer

twin mirage Mar 14, 2023, 5:12 PM

#

yes

sharp edge Mar 14, 2023, 5:13 PM

#

https://stripe.com/docs/payments/finalize-payments-on-the-server so you want this flow that is currently in beta

#

it lets you collect payment method details upfront and then server-side you can do your own logic to change the amount as needed before charging their card

twin mirage Mar 14, 2023, 5:15 PM

#

but this is like after the customer accepts the payment right? can we show them the amount including the fee before hand

sharp edge Mar 14, 2023, 5:15 PM

#

I mean you can build the flow however you like in this case. But it's after their enter card details yes

twin mirage Mar 14, 2023, 5:17 PM

#

that's correct, cuz we can't know the amount of the fee before the we have the card details

sharp edge Mar 14, 2023, 5:21 PM

#

yeah so you do
1/ Collect card details
2/ Server-side, do things to look at the card, its country, etc. calculate the fee and final amount
3/ Display the final amount/charge them

twin mirage Mar 14, 2023, 5:23 PM

#

but in this case

#

we still have to check the fee on our server -side

#

is that correct

sharp edge Mar 14, 2023, 5:25 PM

#

I don't understand what you mean. There's no "fee to check". You calculate all you need at step #2 in the example I gave above

#

but yes you still make the math yourself

twin mirage Mar 14, 2023, 5:25 PM

#

oh ok got it

#

yeah I mean calculate

#

but yes

#

haha

#

appreciate your help!
