Hi.. i gone through that page, but i couldn't see any api's to convert it. I can see only some documentation of conversion. if anything i missed ? or no api support

I understood it doing internally, but i need to show to the customer before payment

There is currently no exchange rate API

#

You can only see the real exchange rate following a payment that is converted

covert star
#

okay .. so is there any preferred way to show the customer like how much amount he need to pay in his currency (i mean before payment) ?
eg: Default is AED and user select USD

You can present the payment in their currency, but you have to set the amount

#

the price/amount you set for customer isn't as simple as FX conversion

#

unless you mean you charge in USD and just want to informationally show AED equivalent?

#

in which case you'd need to get it from elsewhere, today

covert star
#

yes i need to show the information

Sorry for confusing, I'm just explaining my requirement in detail.

In my site, it will show the amount in AED. But there are some outside customer using USD, AUD. So they want to pay the amount in AED using their currencies (USD/AUD).

So the site will show the options USD/AED and need to show the converted amount (from AED to USD/AUD) before proceed to payment.

so if the amount is 1000AED, am trying to show like you have to pay 272.25 USD + payment fee

Right, you need to calculate that yourself -- there's no way to get it via the API for your payment, before paying

covert star
#

got it ..Thanks

Could you please let me know which api i can use to **do the payment **like that (support multiple currencies) ? now am using SessionService for payment (only AED)

toxic crane
#

What do you mean? I'm not aware of anything like that -- you always need to decide the presentment currency and amount.

covert star
#

no .. am just asking whether i can use the same session object to pay? I am really sorry, I didn't checked stripe documents for currency conversion

For example, Company has an account with AED, and some outside customers want to pay money in USD/AUD. So can i use the same session service or anything else ?

I mean you just need ot specify the other currency/amount to control this

covert star
#

how ? i mean which property

Because what i need is paying 1000 AED using USD . so where i have to specify the source currency and target currency

toxic crane
#

no that's not supported - you pick the presentment currency and amount, but only one

#

You can't do what you're asking -- you just need to convert the amount some other way and use that amount+currency in your payment

#

if you want to charge around 1000 AED and present in USD you would do that conversion yourself and then send say 300 & USD
