Hi bismarck, thanks for your time !

Hey there

#

Reading!

#

Okay so what you want to do is to preview the upcoming invoice based on this info

#

So you want to pass the postal to your backend and use: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/upcoming

#

Then you can look at the tax that will be calculated based on that postal

#

And then send it back to your frontend and update your UI

There is no way to get the tax rate before creating an invoice ? on my current Stripe integration, we don't persist anything to Stripe before hitting the "purchase" button
(I'm not sure your API server will be happy if we create a pending subscription with its invoice every time we display the checkout page to a customer, before he hit the "Purchase" button, and it slows down the (already quite long) purchase process in our side)

@civic temple you can use the Upcoming Invoice API like my colleague explained above really

#

This simulates what the first Invoice of a Subscription would be, without persisting anything

Oh sorry I read too fast, missed the you are simply viewing a preview – the invoice has not yet been created. line

I'll take a look, thanks a lot !

As I understand, I still need to create my stripe Customer at this point, I'll see if it can be done easily with my current integration.

I was hoping something way more simple, like passing a price id and a postal code to retrieve tax rate, but I'm from EU and it may be impossible to do so in the US

#

I'm new to taxes in US, this thing is a mess 🤦‍♂️

#

yeah I think you want to create a Customer and collect detailed billing details upfront

#

see https://stripe.com/docs/tax/customer-locations#supported-formats

#

Is it enough to collect only the postal code ? I don't like asking too much personal information without justification

north eagle Nov 22, 2022, 5:07 PM

#

that doc covers what's needed per region

Stripe Tax supports calculating sales tax with only a basic 5-digit US postal code. yep was reading it, I'll read it full before asking anything else, sorry !

Thanks for you time anyway, I'll try to implement that ! Have a nice day
