Hi 👋

What error do you receive when specifying currency='cad' for a US account?

hollow grove Jul 25, 2024, 4:48 PM

#

"stack":"Error: The card_present source type with currency cad is not supported in US."

quaint patrol Jul 25, 2024, 4:49 PM

#

Hmm okay that seems pretty definitive that we cannot support CAD collection in the US using the card_present payment method.

#

I don't expect to find anything new but do you have the ID for that request so I can dig a little bit more? It'll start with req_ and you can find it in your account logs.

#

Okay I do see that we call out this limitation in our docs: https://docs.stripe.com/terminal/overview

You can only collect payments in your local currency with supported card brands.

#

yeah

#

unfortunately a development partner has the logs for this one, she created the error under their dev account

#

I'm wondering what other companies might do to address this, is the option basically to maintain two stripe accounts, then for each terminal the location has to be generated by that account key-pair?

#

Unfortunately I can only give advice on API integrations. This server is focused on talking directly to developers so we don't really get into business models and use cases.

#

fair, from an application design standpoint, would you agree that in order to support that ask, two stripe accounts is the only way to achieve it?

quaint patrol Jul 25, 2024, 5:01 PM

#

That would be one approach. But you would need to consider that you would also need to swap Locations and all the Connect to a reader flow: https://docs.stripe.com/terminal/payments/connect-reader to use the different account

hollow grove Jul 25, 2024, 5:11 PM

#

yes, that is the flow we are using

#

ok, thanks for the tip

Sure thing, happy to shed what 💡 I can 🙂
