Hi there 👋 can you tell me a bit more about what you're trying to do? The request you shared looks a bit odd as the provided API key seems to belong to the same account specified in the StripeAccount header.

visual jacinth Apr 9, 2024, 1:29 PM

#

Hi @untold sky Thanks for jumping in.

We are a platform, with Connected accounts in Express mode.
We are trying to give our connected accounts capability to send invoices to their customers through us.

What we want to achieve

create an invoice with our customers data as Issuer, with the payment flowing through us and doing a Transfer to their account.

untold sky Apr 9, 2024, 1:32 PM

#

Hm, I'm not entirely sure if that's possible, and will need to do a bit of looking.

If you use the StripeAccount header, you process the payments directly on the Connected Account. But if you create the Invoice on your Platform account, I'm not sure it's possible to display your customer's information as the issuer.

visual jacinth Apr 9, 2024, 1:35 PM

#

Hm, ok, was not thinking this might not be possible with stripe 😄
If we process payments directly on the Connected Account, is it possible to setup TAX for them, being Express connect ?

untold sky Apr 9, 2024, 1:43 PM

#

While I do some digging, can you try making the request you made again, but this time use the API key that belongs to your Platform account?

visual jacinth Apr 9, 2024, 1:44 PM

#

On it

untold sky Apr 9, 2024, 1:48 PM

#

Sorry, two clarifying questions:

Do you want the Connected Account to be the merchant of record?
Do you want the Transfer to the Connected Account to happen automatically?

Hi @untold sky let me jump here as well since I'm working with @visual jacinth on this issue. So, this is what we do via SDK:

def invoice = Invoice.create(
InvoiceCreateParams.builder()
.setAutomaticTax(
InvoiceCreateParams.AutomaticTax.builder()
.setLiability(
InvoiceCreateParams.AutomaticTax.Liability.builder()
.setType(InvoiceCreateParams.AutomaticTax.Liability.Type.ACCOUNT)
.setAccount(expressAccountId)
.build()
)
.setEnabled(true).build()
)
.setIssuer(
InvoiceCreateParams.Issuer.builder()
.setAccount(expressAccountId)
.setType(InvoiceCreateParams.Issuer.Type.ACCOUNT)
.build()
)
.setCurrency('EUR')
.setDaysUntilDue(14)
.setDescription(restaurantName)
.setCustomer(stripeCustomer.id)
.setAutoAdvance(false)
.setCollectionMethod(InvoiceCreateParams.CollectionMethod.SEND_INVOICE)
.setMetadata(metadata)
.build(),
allORequestOptions
)

Our allORequestOptions is always the Platform account "acct_1GqhEoKL2AAUnNZP" and API_KEY configured is always the same

#

We want this connected account to collect the money, but not automatically. This is something that will be sent via email to a person, which is going to pay the invoice

visual jacinth Apr 9, 2024, 1:53 PM

#

Just as a note, the money has to pass through us as a Platform and get Transferred automatically, due to our IC+ fee contract with Stripe, while showing the Merchant as the issuer.

opaque oxide Apr 9, 2024, 1:56 PM

#

To sum up, we're trying to get rid of this error "Stripe Tax has not been activated on your account. Please visit https://stripe.com/docs/tax/set-up to get started". It seems that Tax is activated but we continute to get the same message. This is how our settings look like:

{
"defaults": {
"tax_behavior": null,
"tax_code": "txcd_10000000"
},
"head_office": {
"address": {
"city": "München",
"country": "DE",
"line1": "Hopfenstraße 8",
"line2": "c/o Satellite Office",
"postal_code": "80335",
"state": null
}
},
"livemode": false,
"object": "tax.settings",
"status": "active",
"status_details": {
"active": {},
"pending": null
}
}

untold sky Apr 9, 2024, 1:58 PM

#

Sorry, a little confused by the difference between these two messages, can you clarify?

We want this connected account to collect the money, but not automatically.
the money has to pass through us as a Platform and get Transferred automatically

#

What exactly is in allORequestOptions? Does it include setStripeAccount?

opaque oxide Apr 9, 2024, 2:01 PM

#

Sorry about confusion, what we meant is that we just want to generate this Invoice and once paid, the money should go to this expresss account, that's all.

untold sky Apr 9, 2024, 2:02 PM

#

It affects how to shape the API call whether you want that Transfer to happen to automatically.

opaque oxide Apr 9, 2024, 2:02 PM

#

untold sky What exactly is in `allORequestOptions`? Does it include `setStripeAccount`?

yep. we set using setStripeAccount with "acct_1GqhEoKL2AAUnNZP"

untold sky Apr 9, 2024, 2:03 PM

#

Don't do that for requests for your Platform

#

That header is only used when you're making requests directly on Connected Accounts.

opaque oxide Apr 9, 2024, 2:04 PM

#

If I remove that and just keep the api_key, do I get rid of this tax issue somehow ?

untold sky Apr 9, 2024, 2:05 PM

#

It might, but I'm not certain.

opaque oxide Apr 9, 2024, 2:05 PM

#

I can give a try, gimme a sec

opaque oxide Apr 9, 2024, 2:07 PM

#

untold sky It affects how to shape the API call whether you want that Transfer to happen to...

meanwhile, whether or not the transfer is done automatically and we modify a bit the shape of the request, I guess we would get the same tax issue for generating the invoices, right?

#

we are doing in test environment for now, we could test both, just to see what's the output

untold sky Apr 9, 2024, 2:11 PM

#

Skimming through the logs for the Connected Account, I don't think the tax settings or registrations were set up for the Connected Account:
https://docs.stripe.com/tax/settings-api?tax-integration=connect-platform&lang=node#updating-settings
https://docs.stripe.com/tax/registrations-api#adding-registration

Use the Registrations API to manage tax registrations

Learn how to add, schedule, and check active tax registrations.

Use the Settings API to configure Stripe Tax

Learn how to configure tax settings, and check whether an account is ready to perform tax calculations.

opaque oxide Apr 9, 2024, 2:13 PM

#

let me also check that

#

thank you

#

@untold sky thank you so much, just by setting the tax with the last 2 links solved our issue. We didn't even change the Invoice request

#

I guess that's it then, on every express account we create we just set this information

untold sky Apr 9, 2024, 2:30 PM

#

Awesome! Glad to hear that did it!
