PHP中的Braintree API - 为事务强制执行货币

Question

I am trying to enforce a currency for a transaction via the Braintree API but I cannot see how this is done. Stripe is very easy, as the currency (AUD, USD) is passed to the Stripe server as part of the execution.

With Braintree what I can see is that the currency is dependent on the merchant account receiving the money. My app will allow a user to invoice their customer, so the user will select the presentment currency of the invoice. I want to lock this selection to their merchant account currency.

If I understood this correctly, then pushing a transaction of MYR 250 (for example) and having a customer pay for this, if the merchant account behind the transaction is a EUR account, then the customer was presented by my app a MYR 250 value, but his CC is debited a EUR 250 value.

Is there a way to do this with Braintree? I want to do this with the standard merchant accounts and not under the Master Merchant set up.

Alternatively, is there a way to confirm the currency of an account from the Merchant Id / keys that a user supplies my app?

I have read the entire API docs, but I cannot see how this is done. Did i miss something? It has been a long week already!

_{Full disclosure: I work at Braintree. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact support.}

It's possible to have different presentment currencies and settlement currencies. To set this up, please check out this section and email the Braintree Accounts team directly: [e-mail]

To confirm the currency associated with a MerchantAccount, you can call MerchantAccount.find using a merchant_account_id. With the MerchantAccount object, you can check its currency_iso_code attribute.
