@cold inlet that feels quite off to me. To calculate tax properly we need a lot of details about what is being bought since there can be different tax rules/rates based on what you sell. Why would you make the whole math to aggregate everything and just give one final amount in that case?

#

Yes, I was thinking that might be a concern, however, we just have a small number of clothing products, so I think they should all be under the same tax code.

#

what's the upside doing this instead of having your Product/Prices in the account for all your items and just add the right ones?

cold inlet Oct 31, 2023, 4:21 PM

#

Just simplicity on our end, but if it is strongly recommended against, we can just use the stripe products/prices.

#

I would definitely recommend using Products and Prices. Or not using Invoices at all honestly

cold inlet Oct 31, 2023, 4:23 PM

#

What do you mean by not using invoices at all?

ornate tangle Oct 31, 2023, 4:24 PM

#

Like you can use https://stripe.com/docs/tax/calculating if you just want tax calculation
Why would you use our Invoicing product if all you do is a "fake Invoice" that has one line item of "all you bought with no breakdown"?

cold inlet Oct 31, 2023, 4:24 PM

#

So I could also just calculate tax using that, and then charge a certain amount without using an invoice?

ornate tangle Oct 31, 2023, 4:25 PM

#

yes

cold inlet Oct 31, 2023, 4:26 PM

#

Is there a name of that flow or reference for how to do that using the stripe js elements?

ornate tangle Oct 31, 2023, 4:29 PM

#

I don't understand what that could mean sorry. The Tax Calculation happens server-side. There's no interaction with Stripe.js for that part

I think I found what I was looking for (payment intents api). Thanks for your help
