# Adds support for merchant amount and currency for test mode authorizations ## What’s new When you [create a test mode authorization](https://docs.stripe.com/api/issuing/authorizations/test_mode_create.md?api-version=2024-11-20.acacia), you can now optionally specify a [merchant_amount](https://docs.stripe.com/api/issuing/authorizations/test_mode_create.md?api-version=2024-11-20.acacia#test_mode_create_authorization-merchant_amount) and [merchant_currency](https://docs.stripe.com/api/issuing/authorizations/test_mode_create.md?api-version=2024-11-20.acacia#test_mode_create_authorization-merchant_currency). ## Impact You can use [merchant_amount](https://docs.stripe.com/api/issuing/authorizations/test_mode_create.md?api-version=2024-11-20.acacia#test_mode_create_authorization-merchant_amount) and [merchant_currency](https://docs.stripe.com/api/issuing/authorizations/test_mode_create.md?api-version=2024-11-20.acacia#test_mode_create_authorization-merchant_currency) to create valid [Authorizations](https://docs.stripe.com/api/issuing/authorizations.md?api-version=2024-11-20.acacia) that have currencies that differ from the merchant’s card currency. With the addition of `merchant_amount`, the [amount](https://docs.stripe.com/api/issuing/authorizations/object.md?api-version=2024-11-20.acacia#issuing_authorization_object-amount) parameter becomes optional. You can specify either `amount` or `merchant_amount` when you create test mode authorizations. ## Changes #### REST API | Endpoint | Change | Resource | | --- | --- | --- | | `respond` | Added | [Issuing.Authorization](/api/issuing/authorizations/object?api-version=2024-11-20.acacia) | | Parameters | Change | Resources or endpoints | | --- | --- | --- | | `merchant_amount`, `merchant_currency` | Added | [Issuing.Authorization.testHelpers#create](/api/issuing/authorizations/test_mode_create?api-version=2024-11-20.acacia) | | Field | Change | From → to | | --- | --- | --- | | `Issuing.Authorization.testHelpers#create.amount` | Changed | `required → optional` | #### Ruby | Method | Change | Resource | | --- | --- | --- | | `respond` | Added | [Issuing.Authorization](/api/issuing/authorizations/object?api-version=2024-11-20.acacia) | #### Python | Parameters | Change | Resources or methods | | --- | --- | --- | | `merchant_amount`, `merchant_currency` | Added | [stripe.issuing.Authorization.CreateParams](/api/issuing/authorizations/test_mode_create?api-version=2024-11-20.acacia) | | `respond` | Added | [stripe.issuing.Authorization](/api/issuing/authorizations/object?api-version=2024-11-20.acacia) | | Fields | Change | From → to | | --- | --- | --- | | `amount`, `stripe.issuing.Authorization.CreateParams` | Changed | `int → NotRequired[int]` | #### PHP | Method | Change | Resource | | --- | --- | --- | | `respond` | Added | [Issuing.Authorization](/api/issuing/authorizations/object?api-version=2024-11-20.acacia) | #### Java | Method | Change | Resource | | --- | --- | --- | | `respond` | Added | [Issuing.Authorization](/api/issuing/authorizations/object?api-version=2024-11-20.acacia) | | Parameters | Change | Resources or methods | | --- | --- | --- | | `merchant_amount`, `merchant_currency` | Added | [issuing.AuthorizationCreateParams](/api/issuing/authorizations/test_mode_create?api-version=2024-11-20.acacia) | | Field | Change | From → to | | --- | --- | --- | | `issuing.AuthorizationCreateParams.amount` | Changed | `required → optional` | #### Node.js | Method | Change | Resource | | --- | --- | --- | | `respond` | Added | [Issuing.Authorization](/api/issuing/authorizations/object?api-version=2024-11-20.acacia) | | Parameters | Change | Resources or methods | | --- | --- | --- | | `merchant_amount`, `merchant_currency` | Added | [Issuing.AuthorizationCreateParams.testHelpers](/api/issuing/authorizations/test_mode_create?api-version=2024-11-20.acacia) | | Field | Change | From → to | | --- | --- | --- | | `Issuing.AuthorizationCreateParams.testHelpers.amount` | Changed | `required → optional` | #### Go | Method | Change | Resource | | --- | --- | --- | | `Respond` | Added | [Issuing.Authorization](/api/issuing/authorizations/object?api-version=2024-11-20.acacia) | | Parameters | Change | Resources or methods | | --- | --- | --- | | `MerchantAmount`, `MerchantCurrency` | Added | [IssuingAuthorizationParams](/api/issuing/authorizations/object?api-version=2024-11-20.acacia) | #### .NET | Method | Change | Resource | | --- | --- | --- | | `Respond` | Added | [Issuing.Authorization](/api/issuing/authorizations/object?api-version=2024-11-20.acacia) | | Parameters | Change | Resources or methods | | --- | --- | --- | | `MerchantAmount`, `MerchantCurrency` | Added | [Issuing.TestHelpersAuthorizationCreateOptions](/api/issuing/authorizations/test_mode_create?api-version=2024-11-20.acacia) | ## Upgrade #### REST API 1.
