Hi there!
Yes, that's totally fine. You'll integrate with the PaymentIntents API directly in that case
odd yew
yes but is there something that I'm missing and will have issues because we developed it instead of using stripe's invoicing?
abstract pendant
No, not necessarily. Not using Invoicing means there's really no benefit to using Product and Price objects in Stripe. You'll likely want to calculate/store these products and amounts entirely on your end
Also, to be clear, are you then also integrating with the PaymentElement? I ask since integrating with the PaymentIntents API directly means you likely can't integrate as seamlessly with things like Checkout, PaymentLinks, or the Pricing Table

Are you creating Tax Rates?

Gotcha. I recommend reviewing this: https://docs.stripe.com/tax/custom

Can I just add tax % on a top of invoice amount and that's it?
abstract pendant
I recommend working with a tax advisor on this. Using Stripe Tax for automatic tax or calculating tax allows for reports and ensures you're collecting tax in the jurisdictions in which you're registered
odd yew
how does that work for connected accounts?
abstract pendant
I recommend starting here: https://docs.stripe.com/tax/connect
Then review these sections based on whether you're a platform: https://docs.stripe.com/tax/tax-for-platforms#custom-flows-using-the-stripe-tax-api
or a marketplace: https://docs.stripe.com/tax/tax-for-marketplaces?charge-type=direct-charges#custom-flows-using-the-stripe-tax-api

Okay, thanks. will review these articles. But we still can develop our own pdf invoices, right? We just need to figure out how to collect taxed properly
abstract pendant
Right
