How can I adapt this Stripe checkout code to work with cents as well as dollars?

I am working on this code which is from the Stripe website

URL : https://stripe.com/docs/checkout/integration-builder

this is directly from the website and works fine for me

$checkout_session = \Stripe\Checkout\Session::create([
  'payment_method_types' => ['card'],
  'line_items' => [[
    'price_data' => [
      'currency' => 'usd',
      'unit_amount' => 2000,
      'product_data' => [
        'name' => 'Stubborn Attachments',
        'images' => ["https://i.imgur.com/EHyR2nP.png"],
      ],
    ],
    'quantity' => 1,
  ]],
  'mode' => 'payment',
  'success_url' => $YOUR_DOMAIN . '/success.html',
  'cancel_url' => $YOUR_DOMAIN . '/cancel.html',
]);

However when I change the code to the below to try to get the dollar and cents working ( using either unit_amount as in the example ... or unit_amount_decimal as suggested by this page https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/decimal-amounts ) then there are issues which I dont really understand, particularly the error returned when using unit_amount_decimal because it appears that there's no way to do decimal places in Stripe ... which hopefully is not the case.

How would I do this if not as they suggest on that page ... which seems to not work?

same code with 2000.55 instead of 2000

$checkout_session = \Stripe\Checkout\Session::create([
  'payment_method_types' => ['card'],
  'line_items' => [[
    'price_data' => [
      'currency' => 'usd',
      'unit_amount_decimal' => 2000.55,
      'product_data' => [
        'name' => 'Stubborn Attachments',
        'images' => ["https://i.imgur.com/EHyR2nP.png"],
      ],
    ],
    'quantity' => 1,
  ]],
  'mode' => 'payment',
  'success_url' => $YOUR_DOMAIN . '/success.html',
  'cancel_url' => $YOUR_DOMAIN . '/cancel.html',
]);

network tab errors

using unit_amount Invalid integer: 2000.55

using unit_amount_decimal Checkout does not currently support usd prices with more than 2 decimal places in line_items[0]. You passed 2000.55 corresponding to $20.0055, which is not supported.

The second error seems to be suggesting that this is not possible, yet this makes no sense since products are not always even dollar amounts.

Stripe measures amounts in the smallest unit of a currency - for example cents for USD:

'unit_amount' => 2000, //2000 cents or $20

'unit_amount' => 2050, //2050 cents or $20.50

If you need to use a decimal amount of the smallest unit - e.g. 1.5 cents per action then use 'unit_amount_decimal'

'unit_amount_decimal' => 1.5 // 1.5¢ or $0.015 per action
