Hi 👋

These are properties of the Account object so if you want to manage them via the API you will want to use the the Account API.

Thanks for looking into this, I appreciate it.

This appears to be a single merchant tax id. I'm looking for the api endpoints to manage the list of 25 tax ids.

For a single merchant?

Yes. Companies may be selling globally and have a tax id for each of the jurisdictions in which they sell.

See: https://stripe.com/docs/tax/tax-ids#adding-and-removing-ids
and
https://stripe.com/docs/tax/tax-ids#tax-ids-invoices

#

it seems reasonably straight forward to add these tax ids to the invoices with the account_tax_ids array, but I've been able to find the endpoints for managing the ids themselves.

As far as I know, we do not have APIs exposed that provide this functionality for programmatic management. I can raise it as a feature request though.

Please do, thank you. This is certainly disappointing.

We are seeking to manage this list via API so that we can maintain a single source of truth and not have to manually synchronize our internal accounting tooling with Stripe through your UI.

Thanks for you help today, have a nice evening.

#

And I want to be clear that I am in no way disappointed in you for the help you've provided. But it seems like Stripe should expose data through the API as a first step in development. Having a fully featured API should be a priority and the default. API inclusion should be a part of every project that y'all ship. Having the UI offer features not available through the API is disappointing.

I understand that. The development of each (API & Dashboard) can wind up going in different directions since they tend to serve separate user bases. But I agree that a fully featured API is what we should always aim for and I have filed your feedback with our product teams.
