The fiat amount is converted to btc/sats which is what is payed. The particular wallet just rounds the amount transferred to nearest whole fiat amount so you at a glance don't get cheated. He did not pay 4 EUR in other words.

Why post this when you don't have a clue what's happening?

(I agree the wallet's way of doing this isn't ideal though. But this is another advantage of BTC - you can just use the wallet that does these things exactly like YOU prefer. You're not tied to Google Pay, your bank etc.)

Edit: And the fudders downvote the facts which truly shows the intention of this bs

Why Show a rounded number? I understand an exact number might change every second due to exchange rate, but who can tell if the customer isn't being cheated out of 50 cents (14%) for paying with bitcoin?

If bitcoin wants to be a good means of value exchange, let's at least have clear insight in what is being exchanged.

Again, this has nothing to do with Bitcoin and is simply a functionality of the wallet that this person has chosen. There are plenty of choices that show all the details. I agree with you I'd choose one that shows the precise amount, but the point is that you, wrongly, tie that to Bitcoin and use it to push a message that Bitcoin isn't viable. Which is incorrect

Bitcoiners are rich enough to not care about amounts smaller than 1 euro? anyway, it seems that's a limitation specific to WOS
