Hi there 👋 I don't think there is, but let me double check that.

The only thing I'm readily finding is this estimation tool, and I don't think that would work for what you're after:

yeah, i guess im just a bit confused here
if y'all don't offer a conversion/FX api for rates, how do we present these localized prices to users and guarantee that they're consistent with the price they'll see in stripe checkout?
because we could use some 3rd party FX api, but there's no guarantee those rates match yours
rose beacon
Even if we had a point in time conversion API, it would be hard to use due to checkout sessions locking in exchange rates for a period of time.

grand wing
that makes sense, but i think your pricing tables do present localized prices right
we have a custom pricing table so was just hoping the underlying api there was available somewhere
rose beacon
Gotcha, unfortunately I don't think there is a good way to provide the estimated price that Automatic Currency Conversion will calculate at this time, but I will capture your feedback that this is something you'd like to see offered in the future.
grand wing
gotcha, thanks for the help toby
do you know which FX api stripe customers generally use for this use case then?
wondering if there's any that match your rates as close as possible

Hi, stepping in and catching up!
I do not know what they use, typically, they rely on Stripe to calculate the conversion, https://stripe.com/docs/currencies/conversions#foreign-exchange-rates.

right, but that seems like the conversion rate only gets shown for a specific transaction. What if we just wanted to query the rate without making a transaction?
lusty drum
That is not currently supported, I'll share this feedback with the team. Can I ask what your use case is here?
grand wing
displaying localized prices on our webpage for users in different countries
also tangentially, is the automatic conversion done in stripe checkout the price someone would pay throughout the lifetime of their subscription?
i.e. if $9 USD => $ 11 CAD (monthly)
they'd continue to get charged $11 CAD monthly given that they don't cancel

I'll share this feedback. Typically, you would price this on your end and add a price in that currency to surface to the customer.
