Hi 👋
You could call the API on your server and use it to update the price before you collect the card details on the reader

so address of the customer is required here? regardless of the item tax code
just trying to get the tax rate per the business address for selling tangible goods to customers

Hmmm...

essentially: for a pair of tennis shoes, biz is based at 123 Main St., NJ, $100 selling to a customer. Ideally with the shoes added as a product on stripes dashboard, it would tell me the shoes are taxable (from it's tax id), and at 6.625%
unless i just pass the address of the business to the tax calc, since that will always be the location of the customer per the transaction

That is one approach you could take.

wanted to make sure i wasnt missing something with this work flow
I'll see what happens if i pass a customer without an address. maybe the tax calculation will just use the business address, and line item tax_codes?

In that case you would likely want to pass the IP address of the location where the transaction is taking place

ahh
even for in person payments? would just use the device (tablet / computer) IP that's taking the payment for the customer
since that's "where" the customer is for the purchase

The stand-alone tax calculation API is pretty new and we haven't integrated it into the Terminal integration. Also, when you are creating the Payment Intent we don't have information on the tax categories of the goods being purchased so we can't really automate that part.

Yea i see what you mean
