Hello 👋
Default payment method for what exactly? Subscriptions?

[misty stirrup]

I have this

$response = app('stripe')->checkout->sessions->create([
            'payment_method_types' => ['card'],
            'mode' => 'subscription',
            // 'automatic_tax' => ['enabled' => true],
            'line_items' => [
                [
                    'price' => $plan->stripe_price_id,
                    'quantity' => 1,

                ],
            ],

            'subscription_data' => [
                'application_fee_percent' => $plan->applicationPercentage(),

                'metadata' => [
                    'blog_id' => $blog->id,
                    'post_id' => $latestPost->id,
                    'user_id' => $blog->user->id,
                    'user_email' => $blog->user->email,
                    'name' => $plan->name,
                    'reader_id' => Auth::user()->id,
                    'price_id' => $plan->stripe_price_id,
                    'product_id' => $plan->stripe_product_id,
                ]
            ],

            'client_reference_id' => Auth::user()->id,
            'success_url' => route('blog.checkout.success', ['blog' => $blog->name, 'plan' => $plan->slug]),
            'cancel_url' => route('blog.post.show', [$blog->name, 'post' => $latestPost->slug]),
            'metadata' => [
                'post_id' => $latestPost->id,
                'user_id' => Auth::user()->id,
                'name' => $plan->abbreviation
            ],
            'customer_email' => Auth::user()->email,
        ], [
            'stripe_account' => $stripeAccount,
        ]);

how do i set default payment method for the customer

also does invoice get sent in test mode after subscription??

[misty stirrup]

yes please

[wraith imp]

Typically you'd use the update customer endpoint to update customer.invoice_settings.default_payment_method to set a default payment method on the customer
https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/update#update_customer-invoice_settings-default_payment_method

also does invoice get sent in test mode after subscription??
We don't send emails in test mode

[misty stirrup]

so how will i include it in the code above??

[wraith imp]

One option would be to implement webhook endpoint and monitor events
https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=checkout#monitoring-events

[misty stirrup]

So another question is that if a customer subscribes, if no default method is set. Will the payment method they used on the checkout session be billed?

[wraith imp]

When you create a checkout session in subscription mode, the payment method the customer provides during the Checkout flow gets used for billing

[misty stirrup]

oh make sense then

Can automatic tax be enabled for connected account

or does the connect account have to set it individually??

[wraith imp]

AFAIK It depends on the type of the connected account as well as charges you're creating

https://stripe.com/docs/tax/connect#tax-for-software-platforms
https://stripe.com/docs/tax/connect#tax-for-marketplaces

[misty stirrup]

$updateUser = app('stripe')->accounts->create([
            'type' => 'standard',
            'email' => $request->user()->email,
            'business_type' => 'individual',
            'business_profile' => ['url' => $blogUrl]

        ]);

        $blog->update(['stripe_account_id' => $updateUser->id]);


        $response = app('stripe')->accountLinks->create([
            'account' => $blog->stripe_account_id,
            'type' => 'account_onboarding',
            'refresh_url' => route('blog.stripe.connect', $blog),
            'return_url' => route('blog.stripe.verify', $blog),
        ]);

i guess it is on connected account then right?

[wraith imp]

That code is just creating standard connected accounts

[misty stirrup]

Yeah the link you sent does not say though

[wraith imp]

In addition to account type and charges, it also depends on what your platform does. If you look at the links I shared, depending on the industry you're involved in either platform or the connected account is liable for tax

Based on that, you can configure connected account as shown here
https://stripe.com/docs/tax/tax-for-platforms#set-up

OR your platform account as shown here
https://stripe.com/docs/tax/tax-for-marketplaces#set-up

[misty stirrup]

Cheers

If i may ask for a market place which is preferrable standard or express??

[vapid blade]

👋 Stepping in for my teammate

Either account type could work for marketplaces. I recommend reviewing the differences in account types instead: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/accounts#choosing-approach

[misty stirrup]

cheers

[misty stirrup]

For a platform that allows author make money from readers on article subscription. What Preset product tax code is recommended??

[vapid blade]

I can't advise on which tax codes to use, and neither can our support team. I recommend discussing this with a tax professional
