Hello, quick question: are you using Standard, Express, or Custom connect accounts? That can change how you want to mange this data

standard

Gotcha, and are you doing direct charges (creating the intents directly on the connected accounts) or separate charges and transfers (payemtn intents created on platform then transfer funds from platform to connected accounts)?

using checkout with payment intent

Products are required for Stripe Tax so you will want relevant product and price objects on each account that uses them. In this case you are doing a direct charges flow with Checkout so product info needs to be on each of your connected accounts.

You can do that by either:

1. Creating and updating Product objects on each of your connected accounts
2. Using ad-hoc Products and Prices by providing price_data and product_data each time you create a Checkout Session. https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-line_items-price_data-product_data-tax_code
   https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-line_items-price_data-tax_behavior

ok so we can essentially create the request they need and they can pass the line items and then we will have Auto tax enabled to true and it should work out?

option 1 would not be viable

and then if you can correct me if im wrong, this is the free version to use on checkout line_items.tax_rates

the paid one is the dynamic one?

I am actually not sure about our prices unfortunately. If you talk to our support team they can confirm that for you https://support.stripe.com/?contact=true

But yes, from an API standpoint you could definitely just pass in the data each time to and we would calculate taxes off of them

[stray tusk]

Sounds good thanks, dynamic tax rate is the paid one correct?

Not sure unfortunately and the server is a bit too busy for me to look in to this, support would know for sure
