I need help on tax id collection on checkout page
cunning coyote
sure, what's your question?
FYI this is the parameter to use: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-tax_id_collection
narrow moss
I want to ask customer for tax id for every time he wants to subscribe to our product?
how can I achieve this with stripe checkout session?
cunning coyote
just check the link I shared above.
narrow moss
I have added that as per doc, but it is not asking to same customer for different subscription, so how can I solve this?
cunning coyote
I don't understand, what does "not asking to same customer for different subscription" mean?
can you give a concrete example of the issue?
narrow moss
We are providing subscription base service and in that one customer can subscribe multiple products, so I want to ask the customer for tax id for every subscription he/she is doing in our application.
cunning coyote
how are you creating the Subscriptions? Checkout Sessions?
narrow moss
yes
cunning coyote
then set this parameter every time you create a Subscription: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-tax_id_collection
narrow moss
Yes it is already there.
cunning coyote
so what's the issue exactly?
narrow moss
at the time of first subscription it is asking for tax id but after for second onwards it is not asking for tax id
cunning coyote
I just tested this, and yes it's true. but it makes sense to me. you already collected the tax ID, why do you want to collect it again?
narrow moss
We need to collect tax id for different addresses which customer entering at the time of subscription.

then I would suggest using separate Customer objects cus_xxx , or collecting a Tax ID outside of Checkout and managing it directly in the API I think.

I'm not sure what exactly you are looking for. Could you clarify please?
narrow moss

how can I achieve this with the given solution by you
burnt chasm
I'm not sure how else I can clarify it, I have you some ideas here:
- using separate Customer objects cus_xxx
- or collecting a Tax ID outside of Checkout and managing it directly in the API
Did you have specific questions about this which I could expand on? Please be specific.
narrow moss
how can i separate customer objects during checkout session
burnt chasm
right now when you create a CheckoutSession you are passing a customer ID to the customer param. Instead of using the same ID for the "second onwards" subscriptions, create a new Stripe Customer object in the API, associate that new Customer with the user in your system/database in addition to the existing one, and pass the ID of that new Customer to Checkout.
