I need to create the payment intent from an invoice (instead of creating the payment intent directly) because I want to use Stripes Automatic Tax Calculation (since all of our tax reports rely on that)

I didn't see anyway when creating a payment intent to add line items or enable automatic tax (like you can with an invoice)

And on the flip side I couldn't find anyway to add a card_present payment option when creating an invoice

[blissful oasis]

Current we don't allow you to accept card_present payment methods for an Invoice

Instead of using an Invoice can you use the Stripe Tax API directly? https://docs.stripe.com/tax/calculating

[golden gazelle]

The problem with using the Stripe Tax API directly is I didn't see anyway to add it to the tax area of the Stripe invoice

Also I didn't see anyway to add detailed line items with the payment intents api (our accountants need detailed line items instead of just an amount)

[blissful oasis]

You wouldn't use it with Invoices - I'm suggesting you use it with Payment Intents directly and not create an Invoice (since invoices don't support card_present).

[golden gazelle]

Ok with payment intents directly, how would I add line items to that? So that the receipt shows a breakdown of what customer purchased?

[blissful oasis]

You could write into support (https://support.stripe.com/contact) and see what beta solutions they have for this - or you'd have to manage the line items and build your own receipts on your end

[golden gazelle]

hmm, ok yeah if it was possible to have a card_present transaction on invoices would solve this completely

Is there anyway to attach a payment intent to an invoice? Like maybe create the payment intent with a card present option and then attach it to an invoice for the line item detail?

[blissful oasis]

Right now there's no way - closest you could get is to mark the Invoice as paid out of band when the other intent is fully paid

[golden gazelle]

Ok I see, but then there would be 2 seperate payment records?

One for the payment intent and one for the invoice?

[blissful oasis]

correct

[golden gazelle]

Hmm, that might throw off the reporting too much

[blissful oasis]

Yeah it'd be a tough one to work around

[golden gazelle]

I think I found a workaround with setup intents and then charging the invoice from the setup intent. One problem I'm having is the test card I purchased from stripe seems to be showing up as Expired, is there any way to fix that? It's a physical test stripe card

[blissful oasis]

I don't think there's a clean way to fix that - right now it's a known issue unfortunately 😦

[golden gazelle]

Oh dang so physical test cards will always show up as expired when used in conjuction with Setup Intents?

[blissful oasis]

Yeah right now it's a known bug with the physical test cards

[golden gazelle]

Ok, so because of that I'm trying to use a simulated reader like this:

const discoverResult = await this.terminal.discoverReaders({simulated: true, location: 'tml_FaJNdgAcd32Jri'});

which creates a reader with id: SIMULATOR

But when I try to process a setup intent with this:

let reader = await stripe.terminal.readers.processSetupIntent(reader_id, {customer_consent_collected: true, setup_intent: setupIntent.id}, {stripeAccount: process.env.connected_account});

I get this error:

Invalid param: id, found: SIMULATOR

Is there another step I need to do to add the simulator as a reader to the location?
