Hi 👋
Do you have an example Checkout Session ID I could review?
narrow helm
Is this helpful?
'automatic_tax_enabled' set to false on checkout session
ppage_1Q5UoyE1bVn60RRzsidivfpH
prime hull
There is an ID in that JSON. Please copy the ID and paste it here as text
narrow helm
Sorry. ppage_1Q5UoyE1bVn60RRzsidivfpH
prime hull
Taking a look
narrow helm
If helpful, this one worked 2 weeks ago ppage_1Q0RerE1bVn60RRzy43WCHIf

Can you share the request ID for the request that created this checkout session? It doesn't look like the automatic_tax parameter was provided:
https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-automatic_tax-enabled
narrow helm
I believe it is this one req_BEsMU8JXmU6A6Y
prime hull
No, sorry that creates a billing portal session
narrow helm
Hey @prime hull one moment, I think there may have been a use of .redirectToCheckout for new customers that was conflicting with existing customers (that had cancelled previously) I'm going to investigate that for a bit and report back here in a bit
prime hull
Okay, the .redirectToCheckout method is deprecated and has been for a while. I don't think that even supports Stripe Tax.
We strongly recommend server-side Checkout Session creation
narrow helm
That would make a world of sense why tax isn't being added on new customers checkouts. I'll quickly refactor
prime hull
Okay! I'm glad we were able to track this down.
narrow helm
Solved! New and existing customers now go thru const session = await stripeClient.checkout.sessions.create({...})
I appreciate the rubber ducking 🙏
prime hull
Wonderful! Happy to help 🦆 🙂
