Stripr API response returns 100.00 as 10000

[Sumit Sharma]

Hi,

In my all Stripe API response that has amount in them, the amount is without '.' in the numeric value and adding the trailing '00' to the amount. 

If i have a plan for $399.00, when i get response for charge.succeed or other response types i get Amount as 39900. Even in response shown in stripe logs shows the amount without decimal point.  

I am using stripe in 'Test' mode and with 'Test Secret Key'. Working in Asp.net MVC 4. 

Please help how can i correct this. I am new to stripe API.

Hi,

This is expected and perfectly normal. Stripe expresses amount in cents. So 39900 is actually 39900 cents (so 399 dollars).

Just to expand this answer slightly for people coming across this thread via google. From the docs https://support.stripe.com/questions/which-zero-decimal-currencies-does-stripe-support 

Stripe accounts in the US and Europe support a number of currencies. To create a charge in any of these currencies, you need to provide the amount in the smallest common currency unit. For most, this is the amount in cents (or pence, or similarly named unit). For example, to create a charge for €1.00, you would set amount=100(100 cents).

For zero-decimal currencies, we use the regular denomination. For example, to charge ¥1, you should setamount=1 (1 JPY), since ¥1 is the smallest currency unit.

So in the dashboard when you set a plan to $399.00 it automatically makes the proper API call of 39900. The Dashboard does some UI prettiness where it displays dollars and cents instead of just cents.

Thanks :) 

Should have read API docs more deeply.
