Hi, I hope you would reopen the old thread and answer me there.
Anyway, I was having issue with currency. I have a session with Direct Payment Method where user pay with CAD currency, but the receiver currency might be different. So I wanted to know if there is a way to know the Net amount they receive in my currency, not the settlement currency.

#

The API don't have such a thing, but they provided exchange rate. So Can I use this to calculate the amount in my currency?

Ah, I can reopen that thread if you'd prefer.

Yes please

#

Anyway, here is the issue:

#

The amounts here are in CAD, and this is fine. That's the currency we support now.

#

The problem is with the connected account, we can't force them to have only a CAD bank account.

#

So I can see values in their currencies here:

#

But I want to see these values in CAD, not in USD. and the API does not provide a way for this.

#

But I found they have Exchange Rate Provided, so my question is if I use this value, I will get the value in CAD, or any currency used when preparing payout session. Right?

I'm so sorry about the delay!

#

Yes, the exchange_rate can (on the balance transaction object) can be used with along with the amount parameter to determine what the amount was in the other currency.
