Can you share the specific fields you're referencing?
dawn saddle
Ok, and what's the question exactly?
analog mortar
what's the different between amount and refunded?
dawn saddle
Do you mean 'why was the payment amount 52.62 SGD and the refund 52.87 SGD'?
analog mortar
yes that's it
dawn saddle
Seems like the payment was in USD (39.99) but the settlement currency of your account is SGD – so we'll apply FX to convert that: https://stripe.com/docs/currencies/conversions
I suspect at the time of the refund the FX rate was different at the time of the payment, so therefore for us to refund 39.99 in USD, we have to take a higher amount of SGD from your balance
analog mortar
so it use a different exchange rate with the exchange rate for payment amount or it has a refund fee?
dawn saddle
A different exchange rate, yes. There are no fees for refunding payments: https://support.stripe.com/questions/understanding-fees-for-refunded-payments

that's great!, then where can I see that exchange rate that used for refunding? because in the dashboard is for payment amount
dawn saddle
You would check the Balance Transaction object for the Refund: https://stripe.com/docs/api/refunds/object#refund_object-balance_transaction
That has the FX details: https://stripe.com/docs/api/balance_transactions/object#balance_transaction_object-exchange_rate

okay, can you help me check, because I may make a mistake.
so in the charge.refunded event there's this charge id : ch_3N8wsABBuNcFsmgM0NfciFL5.
inside it there's a balance_transactionid of : txn_3N8wsABBuNcFsmgM0YnGDzyH
inside it there's an exchange rate, but it's the same like in the dashboard
