Hi there! There's no concept of line items for PaymentIntents, just a bulk amount.

So would this workflow map to Invoices, as far as you can tell?

[glacial rain]

Yep, it would, since tax settings could be different by price used per line item

You can also use Stripe Tax with Checkout and Payment Links or, as you mentioned, handle the tax calculation yourself and continue with PaymentIntents directly

Reading the documentation and making sure I'm understanding correctly: Using Checkout or Payment Links, the checkout would be hosted on Stripe's website, correct?

And if I want to have a custom checkout flow on my own website, but want to have multiple line items with unique tax needs, I would need to use Invoices, which comes with a minimum .4% fee on top the default Stripe Payments fee?

1/ That is correct.
2/ I think roadrunner meant that you create this on your end using PaymentIntent directly, https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents

[finite galleon]

If I use PaymentIntent directly, then Stripe has no ability to handle tax information beyond what I handle myself?

[fluid drift]

That is right

[finite galleon]

If I use Checkout, am I able to collect customer payment information to reuse later? (i.e. I can store PaymentMethods)

[fluid drift]

Yeap!

[finite galleon]

Is there some logic behind not allowing Checkouts through my own UI so I can support multiple line items and leverage Stripe's tax system?

Btw, thank you very much for the quick and helpful answers. Greatly speeds up development

It's just, on Stripe Checkout and Payment Links, it's already built. If you want your own UI and integration, you'll need to build this on your own.
