HI there, did you check the error message? The shipping tax code txcd_92010001 cannot be used on a line item. Use the `shipping_cost` param to calculate tax on shipping charges.
fair thunder
Yes.. not able to get this. I'm passing address source as billing & not specified txcd_92010001 code anywhere from myside. So from where that code is coming?
As here mentioned - https://stripe.com/docs/api/tax/calculations/create#calculate_tax-line_items-tax_code
If we won't pass tax code, it will take from product. But I haven't specify product as well
& in tax settings, I won't able to see anything
compact thistle
And you didn't specify any product in the line_items. Can you tell me what you want to achieve?
fair thunder
I want to calculate tax for custom payment flow by directly passing amount in line items
I'm taking reference from here https://stripe.com/docs/tax/custom
compact thistle
https://stripe.com/docs/api/tax/calculations/create#calculate_tax-line_items-tax_code
so this explains the txcd_92010001
If it's not the tax code you want to use, I'd suggest you to specify one
fair thunder
But where I can specify? Because not able to load tax settings. I want to understand from where this code is coming - txcd_92010001?
Reason for asking these questions are - we are adding tax support for customers & they are connected with our platform account using Standard Connection. So we need to guide them as well
compact thistle
It depends on the type product in the line_items, you can't calculate tax without a tax code
fair thunder
Do you want to take code from above list?
compact thistle
This is a question for you.
fair thunder
Now I think - i'm able to get..
We need to collect product category from customer & map with stripe tax code... right?
compact thistle
Yes you are right
fair thunder
Another question i have for if our customer opted for 1 onetime product & 1 recurring product?
Can you suggest how we can use custom tax in that flow?
For above case, currently we are using invoice items & subscription api to charge. First we are creating invoice items & then create subscription.
compact thistle
You can just pass the products to the line_items when call the tax calculation API
fair thunder
Will it collect tax in every invoice of subscription?
compact thistle
If you want to specify tax_rates when creating a subscription, you can set them here: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-items-tax_rates
fair thunder
For this, we need to create rate again in stripe & that ids we need pass? Is there any way we can directly pass tax code - https://stripe.com/docs/tax/tax-categories for subscription?
compact thistle
tax rate and tax code are different. Alternatively you might want to enable Stripe Tax (https://stripe.com/docs/tax/set-up) and let Stripe automatically create tax rates based on tax codes.
