Manual currency prices

Present local currencies to customers with manual currency prices.

Stripe supports manually defining prices in different currencies when creating products. However, Stripe recommends using Adaptive Pricing instead of manual currency prices to reduce currency exchange rate fluctuation risk and to automatically enable support for over 100 local currencies.

Use manual currency prices instead of Adaptive Pricing when:

• Adaptive Pricing isn’t supported for your business or Checkout configuration.
• You’re supporting a region where you’re comfortable taking on fluctuations in the currency’s exchange rate.

Manually defined multi-currency prices override Adaptive Pricing for those currencies, even if it’s enabled.

Localised pricing

If you create invoice items or charges with the API, Stripe processes the amount and currency you explicitly provide. The localised price isn’t automatically calculated, and you’re responsible for passing the correct amount and currency for your customer’s region. We recommend using the pricing.price parameter to pass the price ID.

Create a multi-currency price Dashboard Server-side

1. Go to a product in the Dashboard .
2. Click +Add another price to create a new price.
3. Fill in the price and select a currency. This first currency is the price’s default currency. Make sure all of your prices have the same default currency.
4. Click +Add a price by currency to search and select from supported currencies, adding them to your price.
5. Use the multi-currency price you created by passing its ID into line items when you create a Checkout Session.

Testing Server-side Client-side

To test local currency presentment for Checkout, Payment Links, and the pricing table, pass in a location-formatted customer email that includes a suffix in a +location_XX format in the local part of the email. XX must be a valid two-letter ISO country code.

For example, to test currency presentment for a customer in France, pass in an email such as ``.

When you visit the URL for a Checkout Session, Payment Link, or pricing table created with a location-formatted email, you see the same currency as a customer does in the specified country.

Testing Checkout

When you create a Checkout Session, pass the location-formatted email as customer_email to simulate Checkout from a particular country.

You can also create a new customer and specify an email for them that contains the +location_XX suffix. Stripe test cards work as usual.

When it’s possible to present the customer’s local currency in Checkout, the Checkout Session object changes. Fields like currency, payment_method_types, and amount_total reflect the local currency and price.

Testing Payment Links

For Payment Links, pass the location-formatted email as the prefilled_email URL parameter to test currency presentment for customers in different countries.

Testing Pricing table

For the pricing table, pass the location-formatted email as the customer-email attribute to test currency presentment for customers in different countries.

Optional Specify a currency Server-side

Local payment methods

The Checkout Session presents customers with popular payment methods compatible with their local currencies. For example, for customers located in the Netherlands, the Checkout Session converts prices to EUR and also present popular Dutch payment methods like iDEAL.

You can configure which payment methods you accept in your payment methods settings.

Pricing tables

Manual currency prices also work with pricing tables. To render local currencies to customers viewing your pricing table, all the pricing table’s Prices must include the customer’s local currency in their currency_options. They must also include a tax_behavior for the given currency if you’re using Stripe Tax.

Supported integrations

Checkout automatically presents the local currency to customers if all of the following are true:

• The Checkout Session’s prices, shipping rates, and discounts have the relevant currency in their currency _ options .
• If a price on the Checkout Session has an upsell, the upsell’s price has the relevant currency in its currency _ options .
• For a Checkout Session using Stripe Tax, the tax _ behavior on the Checkout Session is specified for the relevant currency for all of the Checkout Session’s prices, shipping rates, and discounts.
• You didn’t specify a currency during Checkout Session creation.

If Checkout can’t localise the currency because the relevant currency option or tax_behavior is missing, the Session presents to the customer in the default currency. The default currency must be the same across all prices, shipping rates, and discounts.

Restrictions

Price localisation isn’t available for Checkout Sessions that:

• Use manual tax rates.
• Use payment _ intent _ data. application _ fee _ amount or payment _ intent _ data. transfer _ data. amount .

Fees

Stripe’s standard transaction fees apply to automatically converted transactions:

• Cards or payment methods fee
• International cards or payment methods fee (if applicable)
• Currency conversion fee

See the pricing page for more details about these fees.
