hi there!
are you trying to compute the Tax before redirecting the user to the Checkout Session?
tawdry bronze
Yeah that's right 🙂 I'm trying to calculate it identically to what the stripe checkout page displays so the prices are consistent between both pages
merry saffron
got it. but if the total is £5, and there's a 10% tax, then it's expected that the tax is £0.50, no? why did you expect £0.49?
tawdry bronze
My understanding was tax is calculated on a per line item basis, rounded down, and then summed:
+--------------+-----------------+---------------------------------+
| Ticket price | Tax value (%10) | After rounding to smallest unit |
+--------------+-----------------+---------------------------------+
| £0.01 | £0.001 | £0.00 |
| £4.99 | £0.499 | £0.49 |
+--------------+-----------------+---------------------------------+
| | Total tax | £0.49 |
+--------------+-----------------+---------------------------------+
But it seems like my understanding is wrong?
Is it just done on the subtotal value, and never looks at the line items? So it's a simple £5.00 * 10%?
merry saffron
no I think we compute the tax on the total, and then "distribute" it across each line item
