For currencies without any decimal places (e.g. ISK), specifying a tax\_percentage = 24 in ‘Create Subscription’ caused the subscription to fail later on.
Notice that the total field in the response has a decimal number in it.

What I’d expect should happen is that the number should be rounded to the nearest integer.
create subscription request that fails:

Hi,
Thank you for pointing out this unique use case. There may be an issue with this specific subscription use case where both a currency that does not support decimal places and a tax rate is defined. Note that for regular payments a round down is made as shown in this method that I just ran:

For your specific sandbox use case, which I assume is related to the hackathon, I suggest to initially use a currency that supports decimal places.

Thank you Legato for the reply. This is not related to the hackathon actually so changing the currency is not really an option… I wonder how the procedure for bugfixing is for these kind of cases (and timeframe).

If this is a production matter and you are a customer of Rapyd, then please also contact support as they may be able to provide a workaround workflow for you until this is fixed. In any case, a ticket has been opened for this matter. I cannot promise a specific timeframe at this time, but will update you when the matter has been addressed.
Thanks
