Where did you find a reference to this API method?

[winter shuttle]

Chat GPT and co-polit suggestion, but unable to find it in official documentation or any alternate api in the documentation

the use case is that we're taking payments in multiple countries and in are analytics, we need it in one single currency

[stiff scroll]

This is not a valid API method.

[winter shuttle]

can you guide me of any alternate API in stripe to convert currency?

[stiff scroll]

You can find the used FX rate on the Balance Transaction object for each Charge.

Could you give me an example payment that you need converted?

[winter shuttle]

I've setup a webhook on charge.succeed event to get the charge, it can be subscription creation, renewal or onetime payment, then I need to convert the amount on USD because we already have payment in CAD and AUD which will give inacurate outcome of I just take the amount without currencies

[winter shuttle]

  id: 'txn_XXX',
  object: 'balance_transaction',
  amount: 24000,
  available_on: 1724198400,
  created: 1723789351,
  currency: 'usd',
  description: 'Subscription creation',
  exchange_rate: null,
  fee: 918,
  fee_details: [
    {
      amount: 918,
      application: null,
      currency: 'usd',
      description: 'Stripe processing fees',
      type: 'stripe_fee'
    }
  ],
  net: 23082,
  reporting_category: 'charge',
  source: 'ch_XXX',
  status: 'pending',
  type: 'charge'
}

it's not giving exchange rate against balance transaction, this one in USD, let's say I have to convert it in CAD, how should I proceed?

[stiff scroll]

You will need to use another service to fetch the current exchange rate then.

[winter shuttle]

no API in stripe for this?

[stiff scroll]

No

[winter shuttle]

got it, thanks @stiff scroll
