Stripe throws invalid integer error

Question

I am unable to charge the amount $49.99 in stripe. I am going through the following links but nothing workout

Stripe Checkout Price error - Invalid Integer

Stripe Rails: Invalid integer: 1.06

I would like to charge the amount as it is. I don't want to round off the payment

 stripe.charges.create({
    // Charge the customer in stripe
// amount: req.query.amount,
    amount: 49.99,
    currency: 'usd',
    customer: req.customer
  }).then(function(charge) {
    // Use and save the charge info in our db
    var successTransaction = {
      stripeId: charge.customer,
      transactionId: charge.id,
      amount: charge.amount,
      currency: charge.currency,
      message: charge.outcome.seller_message,
      paidStatus: charge.paid,
      summary: charge
    };

Solution 1

Stripe allow only integer value in price so need to change your price (amount) into cent by (*100 ) so now your code amount is 499 and in stripe sdashboard you see the 49.99 for more details check the link :

Solution 2

You can use the following method as it will help you to use the decimal value as the amount and display the same amount in the invoice and during payment.

amount: Math.round(49.99 * 100)
