#Sandip Kundu - currency-conversion

Hi! Stripe does not offer an API to look into exchange rates. However, if you look at an existing balance transaction were a currency conversion happened, you can see the exchange rate used: https://stripe.com/docs/api/balance_transactions/object#balance_transaction_object-exchange_rate
I want to make a recurring payment through stripe. Which APIs i need to use to complete the task from beginning to end.
Here's a guide on how to make recurring payments with Stripe https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions
@bleak steppe Hi! Let's talk here.

Sorry ! I think i didn't described properly ! I need an API which just Convert an amount to all other currencies and will return the following:
- Currently Name
- Currency Symbol
- Converted amount
- Origin
Currency Shortcode ( 3 letter )

NOTE : I can't use the Checkout Session API. Because i need to complete the process through backend without reloading other page.

Got it! But like I said Stripe doesn't offer this. You'll have to use another service for this.
You have two options to create a Subscription with stripe:
- With Checkout Session (recommended)
- Or with Subscription, PaymentIntent and Payment Elements. This is covered here: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=elements

If i use another then there will be a possibility to differ the amount so it will not be a good approach.

That's true, but Stripe doesn't offer this.
