Hello

[queen stirrup]

hello

any idea about my need please?

[small raptor]

Hmm to clarify you want to update your Price dynamically based on this VAT number?

[queen stirrup]

in fact we use a webservice that takes that VAT number entered, and if the country is in the UE, the customer won't have to pay the VAT

[small raptor]

Okay well you can collect this tax ID during the Checkout Session via tax_id_collection: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-tax_id_collection

However, that won't allow you to change the Price you charge. If you want to do that, you need to collect this yourself before redirecting to Checkout

[queen stirrup]

ok that's why we use Element

we collect that VAT intracom number and update the price

[small raptor]

Gotcha

[queen stirrup]

we need that behaviour

but with checkout would improve our sales

[small raptor]

Like I said, you should just collect the VAT before you redirect your customer to Checkout in this case

[queen stirrup]

ok thank you then but in terms of ergonomy that could be strange

but why not thank you

[small raptor]

Yeah I understand, I'm just saying that is the only way to do this with Checkout. Otherwise you need to use Elements and build your own custom flow.

👍

thanks

[small raptor]

Sure

@queen stirrup one second actually

It is possible that Stripe Tax (automatic tax) will handle this for you as well

[queen stirrup]

yes

[small raptor]

Let me check on that

Yep okay we do take that into account: https://stripe.com/docs/tax/zero-tax#reverse-charges

Sorry, forgot about that.

So if you enable tax_id_collection and you use automatic_tax then Checkout will handle all of this for you.

[queen stirrup]

ok then thanks we'll take a look

[small raptor]

Yep try testing it out and see if it is what you want
