Ok, thanks

@full cloak you don't seem to have configured the tax behavior anywhere?
And really, you should create real Products and Prices instead of price_data if you want proper tax calculation, this would make things much easier. Read https://docs.stripe.com/tax/checkout
full cloak
I set the tax_behavior: "exclusive", for each line item
errant pecan
you did not.
full cloak
Creating products and prices would be an unnecessary inconvenience for my use case
errant pecan
I am looking at the request and it's not set properly
You shared a request id, I looked at it and the underlying Checkout Session and that one was not created with tax_behavior
full cloak
Sorry, here's the correct req id:
req_4HLV6nWQucUDAk
errant pecan
Okay so what's the issue? What do you see when you enter an address on Checkout?
full cloak
It just shows $0.00
errant pecan
Can you share an exact picture of what you enter so I can help?
Also how did you configure tax on that connected account? Do you have the right Tax Registrations that map to the address and what is being sold?
What is the default tax code? Or did you set one on the Price as required?
full cloak
Let me try to answer your questions one at a time
Are you suggesting I need to configure taxes on the connected account, not on the master account? In other words the account that is receiving the destination transfer?
errant pecan
Are you suggesting I need to configure taxes on the connected account, not on the master account?
yes, you are using Direct Charges where everything happens on the connected account. There's no "transfer" here. If you think there is one, you are mixing up your Connect flow of funds
full cloak
payment_intent_data: {
transfer_data: {
destination: body.acct_id,
},
application_fee_amount: fee,
},
there is some transfer happening here, to the destination. While I take an application fee
errant pecan
Ah my bad I misread your API request in our internal tool. So you're right this should be configured in your own Stripe account. So what did you configure on your account? What's your default "product tax code" since you aren't setting any in your request?
full cloak
I'm not sure - I'm guessing I configure that within the stripe dashboard. I will check.
It's set to General - Electronically Supplied Services
So it seems like I would need to set that to a different tax code since it's for a ticket for an event
errant pecan
yes
Really I recommend creating a Product and Price first. Much much easier to test/iterate.
But I think you want to set https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-line_items-price_data-product_data-tax_code properly in your code
full cloak
Ok, thanks for the suggestion
Now that I think about it, general electronically supplied services is most likely the correct cateogry
errant pecan
Then you need to check the tax rules in the registration(s) you configured, it's possible there's no tax for it (or you haven't configured any registrations yet)
full cloak
What do you mean by the registrations that I've configured?
errant pecan
full cloak
Ok it looks like everything on that end is set up properly
The issue must be that general elecontrocialy supplied services doens't have any tax
errant pecan
yeah I'm not sure for that part. Try a different tax code first to see if that happens
full cloak
Do you know of any tax codes that for sure would have a tax?
for testing
This is the new req id, still getting the same issue
req_MkdhRma2fh6oTN
errant pecan
I don't know sorry. I'd recommend moving this to our support team as it's now more understanding tax and not really the code
full cloak
After trying with multiple tax codes it seems to be a development issue
Not sure what it could be though unless tax just doesn't get calculated in test mode
errant pecan
They do get calculated in Test mode. For example I use <txcd_10103000> locally on my tests
full cloak
Ok, good to know. Let me try that.
Can I ask you a different question? I’m looking to display custom text on checkout. At the top, above the line items I want to pass the event name. I initially thought that custom_text would be the place but it’s neither shipping address, submit or after subnmit.
errant pecan
There isn't really a way to do that today
full cloak
Maybe I should set a line_item with a cost of $0?
