Hi
It's the tax id of the account itself, please refer to this guide https://stripe.com/docs/tax/tax-ids#tax-ids-invoices--api
You can check all supported tax ids types:
https://stripe.com/docs/tax/tax-ids#supported-tax-ids

ok so correct me if i'm wrong, when a user enter it's tax id i can get the TaxId object created by receiving a webhook with the id of the object ?

i precise that my users create their connected account on our website and connected accounts are "custom"

[digital bison]

You can get the Tax id from your dashboard in https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/billing/invoice

Double checking if you can do this for Connected Accounts...

Because Custom Account don't have Dashboard access.

What type of charges are you willing to use ? Direct or Destination/Separate Charge and Transfers?

[dapper zenith]

the invoice i'm generating is just for information, i automatically mark it as paid out of band

in fact i just transfer fund from stripe global instance to one connected account, so i generate an invoice saying that the connected account received fund

but the invoice isn't payable

it's just for information purpose

[digital bison]

Ah ok so you are using Invoices for your Connected Account ?

And not for your end customers (who purchases good/services)

[dapper zenith]

yes that's it

it's for the connected account to track what people purchased

[digital bison]

Ah, Invoices are for Customer https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers and not for Connected Account.
In this case you need to add the tax id in your Platform Dashboad at https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/billing/invoice get the tax id and pass it via API when creating the Invoice

You can copy the id from your dashboard as I mentioned above 👆

[dapper zenith]

ok but connected account in my case are companies also and have tax ids, but they don't have access to the dashboard. So is there a way to generate a TaxId for a connected account using only the API ?

In France invoices need to contain the tax id of the company editing it

[digital bison]

Your use case is quiet particular, the workaround I'm seeing is to add all account tax ids in your platform and create the invoice from your Platform Account to your Connected Account. If you want to create an Invoice from your Connected Account to your Platform, not sure if this is possible... I'll double check...

Just to confirm, you want to Create an invoice from your Connected Account to your Platform right ?

Can you share an example requestId of an invoice creation ?

[dapper zenith]

ok the solution is to store the tax id of the connected account on my own database and to pass it as custom_fields on invoice creation ?

[dapper zenith]

yes that's it

[dapper zenith]

an invoice Id ?

[digital bison]

Yes that coul dbe a solution

[digital bison]

yes it can be.

[dapper zenith]

ok let me find one

in_1MuA2i2Q7tVJnu7ZftLm2dRc

this one for example

the customer is GGL

the connected account is "l"

don't pay attention to name of both i'm testing

and what i want is to display on the invoice is the tax id of connected account "l"

[digital bison]

GGL is your Platform or normal Customer ?

[dapper zenith]

yes

GGL is a connected account also but this is the customer, i don't need more information from him

[digital bison]

OK, the simplest (probably only) solution is to use custom_fields when creating the Invoice.

[dapper zenith]

ok got it i will do it so

thanks a lot for the time you take to help me 🙂

[digital bison]

Np!
