Currency Conversion, FX Risk, and Settlement
Understand how exchange rates, conversion fees, and settlement currencies affect revenue when selling globally with Stripe.
Presentment vs Settlement Currency
The presentment currency is what the customer sees and pays. The settlement currency is what Stripe pays into your bank.
When they differ, a conversion happens.
Where FX Risk Comes From
Exchange rates move constantly. Revenue booked in one currency may be worth less by the time it settles. This is foreign exchange (FX) risk.
