hello! we don't have a currency exchange API, but if you're using Checkout, there is https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout/present-local-currencies

Present local currencies

Present prices and charge payments in your customer’s local currency using Checkout or Payment Links.

But even then, that only works for USD and CAD prices, according to my quick glance at the docs, no?

sorry, lets take a step back, can you elaborate more on how your application works?

#

I'm a little confused over how you selling something in EUR is related to the reseller selling that to their customers in GBP

#

are you using Connect?

Yeah, as I'm not an expert in Stripe I forget you guys cater to a million different scenarios.

My scenario is:

I sell something in EUR via my own API and I invoice my customers (in EUR) (the fact that a part of this invoice goes to third parties through connect is irrelevant to this exercise, I imagine)
One of my customers will use my API (with items priced in EUR) but has customers that pay in GBP - they also use Stripe (and I'm not familiar about the specifics of their setup)

My customer has requested the we support several currencies for our prices. We don't want to do that as it's a lot of work, so I'm asking if Stripe can help either them or us in order to help my customer sell in GBP based on a price item in EUR.

I'm not sure this is clarifying or muddling the waters more

hrm, maybe a simple solution is to just create GBP prices for them to use? Do you think that'd work for you?

#

Cause if they use your API with items priced in EUR, and they want to charge customers that pay in GBP on their own Stripe account (and they are implementing their own code for that). It sounds like it's on them to decide how to price their products in GBP instead

#

i.e. that customer would create their own Price object on their Stripe account
