Hi, thanks for the answer, I'm looking at the first document, currently we kave delegated the automatic payment to Stripe, we only report usage rates for our users and Stripes try to charge it recurrently Monthly, as far as I know we are not creating the Payout manually, with respect to the second question we are not using the Checkout process.

What are you using if not Checkout?

It is a monthly subscription managed automatically by Stripe

#

From the first document lecture I see it works by creating the Payout by hand that means that we need to track our client currency preferences and create the Payout on each client right?

#

I mean, what front-end are you using to collect payments?

You should know what a front-end is. This is a chat for web developers to talk to Stripe software developers about technical integrations.

#

You may want to direct your questions to our support folks instead if you're not creating a software implementation: https://support.stripe.com/contact

I know what a front end is, but I0m not sure If we are on teh same page, we created teh front-end to collect paymet card information using vuex, and we create the payment_method object in the stripe API, after that a subscription object is created to charge monthly to the users, final stripe subscription object looks something like this: "id": "sub_XXXX",
"object": "subscription",
"application": null,
"application_fee_percent": null,
"automatic_tax": {
"enabled": false
},
"billing_cycle_anchor": 1696204799,
"billing_thresholds": null,
"cancel_at": null,
"cancel_at_period_end": false,
"canceled_at": null,
"cancellation_details": {
"comment": null,
"feedback": null,
"reason": null
},
"collection_method": "charge_automatically",
"created": 1695139386,
"currency": "usd",
"current_period_end": 1698883199,
"current_period_start": 1696204799,
"customer": "cus_XXXXX",
"days_until_due": null,
"default_payment_method": "pm_XXXX",
"default_source": null,

#

I see checkout options in stripe has perconfigured front-end implementations but we are not using them at all

gentle pond
#

okay, so you have a custom form for your front-end/

true rain
#

That's correct is a simple vuex component that shows the card company as you writethe first numbers and so, my concern is about stripes product configuration to accept local currencies on the back end we configure a cron job to update the usage and the payment attempt is done by stripe monthly

gentle pond
#

Got it. Okay, so if you're using your own custom form, you would need to know the currency ahead of time and you would have to supply it via the currency parameter when creating the Setup Intent

true rain
#

That's right

#

Back end folks are navigating through technical docuemntation but I'm sure we are not the only ones with this issue so maybe there is a technical document with the correct configuration that we are missing out

#

We see that we can add prices with local currencies to the product and attach it to the subscription object, but using this strategy won't talke into account current exchange rates

#

First document looks like a plausibe solution but we will need to generate each account Payout using the cronjob instead of the automatically charged usage

gentle pond
#

Yep, that seems to be the way to go. Are there any outstanding questions?

true rain
#

Nope, we will need to rebuild the backend and add some extra steps on the fornt to select the currency but at least we have a solution 😋 thanks gor the guidance guys!!

Sure thing!
