Hello! Taking a look 🙂
I see that the Charge was for 6100 GBP and there was a platform fee (AKA application fee) for 319 GBP. Is this the fee you're referring to? Or do you see a currency conversion fee?
Ah I see that the platform fee of 319 GBP was converted to 416 USD. Are you looking for an event to show the 416 USD or the exchange rate used?

Sorry, got hit with a confirm your phone number thing here and that turned into a journey lol
yes, I'd like to store the fee in gbp and also the converted amount to usd
in the charge.succeeded event I only see the gbp one but not the other
I really just want the usd amount
unique dune
Thanks for clarifying! Let me see if I can find an event or endpoint that exposes the converted amount...
gloomy vector
thank you for the help
unique dune
No problem, thanks for your patience!
You should be able to listen for application_fee.created events: https://docs.stripe.com/api/events/types#event_types-application_fee.created
Then, you can expand the balance_transaction: https://docs.stripe.com/api/application_fees/object#application_fee_object-balance_transaction
And that amount should be the USD amount you're looking for: https://docs.stripe.com/api/balance_transactions/object#balance_transaction_object-amount

I guess I can look at the docs but if you know, when does that event trigger?
unique dune
It triggers when an application fee is created on a charge so in your case, when the 319 GBP was taken from the total and converted to 416 USD 🙂

hmm is there an api from which I can extract the same information?
just trying to explore which approach makes the most sense
unique dune
Yep! You can get the application_fee and/or balance_transaction directly from the Charge object:
gloomy vector
awesome! I think I can take it from here, thank you so much for your help!
unique dune
You're welcome, good luck!
gloomy vector
sorry are you still around
unique dune
Yes, how can I help?
gloomy vector
does stripe.balanceTransactions.retrieve contain this information? I see it has a fee and field_details props
can't tell from the api docs
gloomy vector
Yep! You can get the `application_fee` and/or `balance_transaction` directly fro...
also I can't tell which prop I'm supposed to take from these?
unique dune
Sorry for the delay! I was double checking what I told you before. Looks like charge.balance_transaction won't give you what you want. You need to stick to charge.application_fee.balance_transaction.amount which will be in your platform's settlement currency (USD). Please try that and let me know if it works!
