Hello
As far as I know, the refund currency is what the PaymentIntent originally used
turbid coral
well, i create it with USD, but then the checkout was completed in CAD
lapis hull
Are you using adaptive pricing? if so, we talk about it here: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkout/adaptive-pricing#refunds
Stripe pays out refunds in the currency your customer pays in using the latest Stripe-provided exchange rate. This means that you might pay more or less to cover the refund depending on how the exchange rate changes.

You can check if you've enabled it under settings: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkout/adaptive-pricing#enable-adaptive-pricing
turbid coral
ok so this is what i have https://eskimo.dev/u/UMlseqzmA-0EAcVxY-ZOcKpkZinC62f5.png

So yeah that means you're using adaptive pricing with Stripe Checkout. So the doc I shared above is how refunds would be issued
turbid coral
ok, so i refund in my currency and stripe converts? am i reading that right?
lapis hull
Correct
turbid coral
ok awesome, thanks for your help
lapis hull
Happy to help
lapis hull
I believe you can use a location formatted email to test this. See: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkout/adaptive-pricing#testing
So for canada, it would be something like test+location_CA@example.com
turbid coral
interesting
i'll test it out, thanks
hmm it didn't work
i made a test payment link and then put test+location_CA@mycompanydomain.com but it seems to show USD everywhere
lapis hull
Did you check if adaptive pricing is enabled in test mode too?
The settings are different for test and live mode
turbid coral
Yes
lapis hull
Can you share the Payment link you're testing with?

There are certain restrictions where adaptive pricing won't work: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkout/adaptive-pricing#restrictions
turbid coral
oh interesting, have to use the prefilled email
