hi there!

Additionally, it looks like in the at least typescript types for the stripe sdk, when I supply fixed_amount.currency_options it still expectsfixed_amount.currency and fixed_amount.amount, which seems like it's a bit clashing?

PI but it looks like I have to either create a
shipping_options.shipping_rate_datafor each possible destination
not really. you cannot create a shipping rate for a specific destination. once a shipping rate is created, it applies to all destinations.
if you want more control over this, you might want to provide an UI for this before redirecting users to the Checkout Session.

aha, so i should capture beforehand where the customer wants it shipped to?
and then the currency options is to just allow us to mainly capture currency conversion costs i guess?

correct

to me it makes sense to have a "default price", and then additional currencies. it works the same when creating Price objects: https://docs.stripe.com/api/prices/create?lang=node

Yeah it makes more sense to me if it’s not to capture final shipping destinations. Thanks!
