👋 happy to help

mossy hamlet
#

Thanks

spark lark
#

the Payment Intents API is not compatible with Stripe Tax

#

using Stripe Tax calculations can help you figure out the exact amount that you then pass in to the PaymentIntent

mossy hamlet
#

We don't want to use Stripe tax so that is good. I already have the NET, SALES TAX and TOTAL I just want to pass them into Stripe to go with the transaction so the figures can show on invoices etc

#

We run a system that collects card details ahead of Stripe for telephone payments so I have the information, but my Stripe customers want us to allow them to pick sales tax and send the values onto Stripe

spark lark
#

without either a tax_rate or Stripe Tax the info won't be stored

#

if the tax info aren't necessary

#

then you just need to pass in the amount to the Payment Intent

mossy hamlet
#

We are passing the amount and Stripe doesn't then show the tax % and net value on invoices.

spark lark
#

are you integrating using Payment Element?

#

why not use Invoices in that case and then you can pass in the tax_rate

mossy hamlet
#

We use elements and direct posting because it is Moto and ecom

#

I think that was the work around we had but it doesn't solve all use cases given invoices are auto created by Stripe in certain scenarios

#

invoices are auto created by Stripe in certain scenarios
what do you mean by that?

mossy hamlet
#

Recurring schedules have the invoices auto created by Stripe.

#

Ideally we just want API control to set the selected values for net, tax and gross we already have.

yes this is normal for subscriptions

#

but you can use Invoices without subscriptions

#

or use Subscriptions with tax rates

mossy hamlet
#

Also if you send receipts from Stripe that also lacks the breakdown and just shows Gross amount

it won't be like this. you would fill in the invoice items with their amount and the tax_rates

#

and we calculate the total for you

#

So what about logging the transaction amount breakdown for net, tax and gross from checkout payments / ecom. How do merchants manage that? or does Stripe not support that level of granulatity unless you pay extra for Calculated tax?

spark lark
#

As I mentioned, you can use tax rates with Invoices

#

and that gives you that granularity

#

so basically if you have a price of $10 and you have a 20% tax rate

mossy hamlet
#

What if they do invoices outside of Stripe?

spark lark
#

then you would only need to pass in the amount to a PaymentIntent and you don't have the tax info in Stripe

mossy hamlet
#

OK maybe we only need to worry about sending Stripe the gross and we can just keep the Financial reporting on our platform instead then. Seem weird but we can do it I guess.

#

OK thanks for the chat. Much appreciated.
