Exact error

Amount must be at least $0.50 usd

What it means

Stripe enforces a minimum charge amount per currency, and amounts are given in the smallest currency unit (cents for USD).

Likely causes

• Passing dollars instead of cents (e.g. 5 instead of 500).
• A price, discount or coupon that brings the total below the minimum.

How to fix it

1. Convert to cents with rounding:

   const amount = Math.round(price * 100); // $5.00 -> 500
   await stripe.paymentIntents.create({ amount, currency: 'usd' });

2. Check Stripe's docs on minimum charge amounts for other currencies.
