looking!

#

Unfortunately in Brazil we only support the few payment methods you mentioned. You can't use iDEAL or SEPA Debit or any other European specific ones so it's normal top only see card

#

Oh, that's unfortunate 😦

#

Can you help me with another situation that is related to credit cards, then?

#

I'm having a hard time configuring things so they appear the way I need

#

I can try if you have a specific question about your code as the developer!

I want to set the price for my product in my local currency (BRL), and I want people from other countries to see the price converted to their own currency on the checkout page. However if you check the checkout session I created (https://checkout.stripe.com/c/pay/cs_live_a1U0Qa7be6bt9E4HDKcdHxi7IXy3x8sxONzhMT7s2x1TyNp8poVxw9sy1Y#fidkdWxOYHwnPyd1blppbHNgWjA0VW5Tc1dXdU8yTzxHNG9EcmNQMHM9ZHRjMldVYzVBQnUyZF03QmZNb1JQcGk3Yz11QUNfaEtAYVdNfEZUcUtqfUw9RmpgXX1sVDxKb18yaURsSEFUc0RfNTUxS1FXZEc2TScpJ2N3amhWYHdzYHcnP3F3cGApJ2lkfGpwcVF8dWAnPyd2bGtiaWBabHFgaCcpJ2BrZGdpYFVpZGZgbWppYWB3dic%2FcXdwYHgl) it shows the price in BRL no matter in which country you are.

I'm using the following Node.js code to create the session:

const stripe = new Stripe(stripeConfig.production_key);

const checkout = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
  currency: 'BRL',
  line_items: [
    {
      quantity: 250,
      price: 'price_1Pkm86RpJ7J9B1jAevJBt8Oi',
    },
  ],
  success_url:
    'https://tibiapix.com/?transaction-id=2dbd2bc9-873e-4e50-9e1c-cdb77f9bb72a&product=tibia-coins',
  mode: 'payment',
  customer_email: 'vitorbertolucci@gmail.com',
});

Looking

#

@opaque aurora I wonder if it's because you are loading the Checkout Session from Brazil

#

I tried on my own Brazil account and I am based in North America and it works fine for me

opaque aurora Aug 6, 2024, 5:32 PM

#

I have tried with VPN

#

Can you send me a screenshot of how the checkout looks like for you?

sullen haven Aug 6, 2024, 5:33 PM

#

#

You need a brand new URL when you try with the VPN. Currency conversion is only offered the first time you load the Checkout URL so if you load, don't see it, then use a VPN and load again it won't work

opaque aurora Aug 6, 2024, 5:34 PM

#

Humm, I will try it

#

And there's one more thing still on this same topic

#

How do I retrieve the converted price in a different currency so I can display it on my website?

#

Because on my site when people select the amount of products they want to purchase I need to display the price on their local currency right away instead of they only seeing it once they navigate to the stripe checkout page

sullen haven Aug 6, 2024, 5:36 PM

#

you can't really. This is a feature specific to our Checkout product and purely internal. You can't have your own preview upfront

opaque aurora Aug 6, 2024, 5:36 PM

#

Not even if I use embedded stripe UI on my site?

sullen haven Aug 6, 2024, 5:38 PM

#

If you use PricingTable (assuming that's what you meant) then it should "just work" yes, you don't need to do anything specific. If you have a URL where you have PricingTable integrated, we can show you what we see from another country

opaque aurora Aug 6, 2024, 5:39 PM

#

I'm still not familiar with the PricingTable concept. My use case is that I have one single product with a unitary price and people can purchase anything between 1 and 100,000 units, so I need them to see the price on their local currency (amount * unity_price) as they select their desired amount

sullen haven Aug 6, 2024, 5:42 PM

#

yeah I don't think any of this is really possible. Just send them to Checkout and let them pick the quantity there

opaque aurora Aug 6, 2024, 5:43 PM

#

I see

#

I have come up with an workaround which is handle currency conversions on my own service, then whenever a user starts a checkout session I will send the create checkout session request with price_data option so it creates a new Price instance in Stripe with the current exchange rate that I have. This will lead to me having 1 Price per Checkout Session. Would this be a problem that would lead to my account being limited?

sullen haven Aug 6, 2024, 5:45 PM

#

no that is totally fine

opaque aurora Aug 6, 2024, 5:45 PM

#

Ok, that's what I'll go with

#

Thank you for your time
