How can I view the GBP amount presented to customers at checkout?

Topic summary

Issue: A UK customer sees a checkout total of £89.00 while the store’s base currency is USD. In the payment processing APIs, the presented currency is GBP but there’s no field showing the GBP amount; only the USD value ($109.33) is available.

Observations: The checkout initially shows a small note “charged in USD,” but when selecting card or PayPal, that note disappears and only the £89 amount is shown to the customer. This highlights a difference between customer-facing currency (GBP) and settlement/base currency (USD).

Request: Guidance on how to retrieve the exact GBP amount presented to the customer (e.g., £89.00) from checkout or payment APIs—i.e., which field/endpoint exposes the customer-facing amount when the presented currency is GBP.

Status: Open question with no resolution yet. An attached screenshot is central to illustrating the UI behavior and currency presentation.

Hi

A customer in UK is presented a checkout total of £89.00

The base currency for the store is USD

We can see in the payment processing APIs that they have presented the customer in the currency GBP BUT there is no field showing the actual amount presented - in this example £89. The only value we see is the $109.33

You can see in the screenshot the small writing for charged in USD.

However when you click the card or PayPal option this disappears and is only £89 presented

Any ideas how we can know the £GBP presented amount (ie the £89.00) that was presented to the customer please?
