@silk haven Stripe charges in the currency you(as the merchant) specify. So you would create multiple Prices for your product for the different currencies you're interested in and when you call the API to create subscriptions for customers, you can select the one to use. https://stripe.com/docs/billing/prices-guide

So different API for different countries for the subscription service?

#

what do you mean exactly by 'different API'?

silk haven Nov 23, 2021, 11:48 AM

#

I mean

#

Like

#

it's the same API, just your code picks a different variable to pass for the value of the Price to charge

#

How will a customer go to my app and get shown his currency instead of dollar when applying for a subscription service? And then how will a customer from US go to the same page and get shown the prices in USD? Since they will be of different value as I determine the price for each country by evaluating a variety of things

#

I apologize I'm not a programmer, it's kinda confusing

#

if you're not a programmer it's a little hard to explain, since this is all part of the site/application you would be building.

#

it's what Wix/Netflix's engineering teams would have built

#

Explain in programmer terms

#

Then layman's terms

up to you. Maybe you have a field in your signup form for Country and based on the one they pick, you use a given Price.
Or you maybe use something like GeoIP, or the browser's location services to look up their location and choose a Price based on that(if they are in Spain, select the EUR Price instead of USD).

And if that person uses a VPN and uses an Indian location

#

Then it should show him INR

#

Right?

#

Understood

#

yep, if you build it based on something like GeoIp then they'd get IDR yes

#

if that's a problem then you need to balance the effort involved

#

for example you could get them to "prove" they live somewhere by insisting on some ID or something

#

geoip seems efficient

#

Yes
