Hi 👋 I believe you can update the currency field on a Payment Intent, but I'm not sure I'm grasping what you're trying to accomplish. Could you elaborate on what your desired flow is a bit?
I am trying to input total currency amount from a shopping cart to create a payment intent so buyer from European country can pay based on their local currency.
But you don't know what that currency is?
I can input usd but but buyer from Europe needs to pay on their local currency. How this is possible if I use Payment Intent?
When working with Payment Intents you will need to explicitly specify the amount and currency, it's not possible to have those automatically update based on the customer's location.
(That functionality does exist for Checkout Sessions though: https://support.stripe.com/questions/automatic-currency-conversion)
How about Stripe converts usd to local currency and let the buyer pays with their local currency. Will it work?
Not with Payment Intents.
But I will file feedback that this is something you'd be interested in seeing made available.
I can't guarantee that it will be implemented, and if it is it won't be for quite some time. You should progress under the assumption it won't be available.
Will you then give me some uses cases where we can use Payment Intent?
I'm not sure I understand what you're asking, can you elaborate?
Without implementing Checkout session, please share some use cases that are good fit to implement Payment Intent object?
Processing payments using our embeddable UI components.
Yes, Automatic Currency Conversion is available for Checkout Sessions.
We're not too familiar with Radar in this forum, but it does look like creating Radar Sessions is done via stripe.js. So it does not seem like that is something you would explicitly do when using Checkout Sessions, but I'm not sure if they inherently create their own sessions already. I would recommend reaching out to our Support team regarding the compatibilty of Radar and Checkout Sessions if there are further questions on that:
