Hello
Are you using Checkout Sessions or calling the Subscriptions API?
Can you share example objects you've created?
abstract lily
Hey, i am using the subscriptions api. here's the latest sub:
alpine wraith
Are you using Stripe Tax or Tax Rates?
Automatic Tax on the subscription seems disabled ^^
abstract lily
I'm pretty sure i am using automatic tax. how can i quickly verify this?
alpine wraith
you need to pass automatic_tax parameter to enable Stripe Tax which you're not doing for the subscription above.
abstract lily
Ohh ok, so does that mean that i need to specify that in every API call? I thought if
i configure once in the dashboard it's going to always be automatic
alpine wraith
As far as I know, when calling the API directly - you need to pass the parameter everytime
abstract lily
ok but the postman collection says: "Automatic tax settings for this subscription. We recommend you only include this parameter when the existing value is being changed." i infered that i should only include it when i want to change behaviour from auto to manual.
alpine wraith
Hmm I'm not sure why it says that. My team does not know a ton about dashboard and how it does things. My understanding was we'd expect the value to be passed in each time.
