Hi, we document how you can use automatic tax on Checkout Sessions here: https://docs.stripe.com/tax/checkout

After you review the document, please let me know what specific questions you may have.

Yes I have read all documentation. I have seen that the automatic tax line just needs to be 'true' to enable. However, I do not know how to access the current checkout session page that has already been coded. The only way I see how to enable it is to start a new checkout session with the create command. But I want to just edit the checkout session page that already exists. Is this all done in Test mode or Live. Sorry I don't have experience with this, just built a website using Hostinger platform and using Stripe payments, I just want automated tax with Stripe and my website redirects to the Stripe hosted checkout page.

Hello! I'm taking over and catching up...

#

I'm not certain I understand your issue. Are you saying tax is being calculated in Stripe Checkout, or is that part not working?

#

there is currently no tax calculation, I want to enable Stripe's automated tax calculation

Okay, and you've already set this to true, correct? https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-automatic_tax-enabled

I see I can create a session, but seems that is just starting a new checkout session. How can I view the checkout session code that is already setup that already defines the urls and other settings, then just change automated tax line.
There are no detailed instructions to follow on how to use the API, I don't have developer experience. I'll have to just change services if there isn't an easy way to do this. Seems simple change in the code, but I don't know how to acces the correct checkout session page code. I don't want to create new one.

#

not sure if I am limited in access due to using Hostinger platform managed website
