2nd question: Now I do have a couple wrong invoices without the taxes. Is it possible to correct this afterwards?
undone sand
hi there!
how do you create the Subscriptions with the API? Checkout Session, or directly the Subscriptions API?
rich stump
Hi 👋 Directly with the Subscription API
Like so:
const subscription = await stripe.subscriptions.create({
customer: customerId,
items: [{ price }],
trial_period_days: trialPeriodDays,
default_payment_method: paymentMethod,
coupon: couponId,
collection_method: "charge_automatically"
});
you can use Automatic Tax: https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/create?lang=node#create_subscription-automatic_tax
I recommend reading our docs about this: https://docs.stripe.com/tax
rich stump
Okay, so simply by passing
automatic_tax: { enabled: true }
``` correct?assuming you set up Tax registrations and everything (as mentioned in the link I shared above), yes.
rich stump
Got it. And now I do have a couple false invoices without the tax. Is there a way to correct these? :/
undone sand
yes you can update existing Subscriptions with automatic tax. but that will only work if the customer have a valid address.
we have a doc specifically about this: https://docs.stripe.com/tax/subscriptions/update
rich stump
This will update existing subscriptions which is good but unfortunately it wont correct invoices that have already been finalized I assume?
How can we correct already finalized invoices with tax?
undone sand
How can we correct already finalized invoices with tax?
no I don't think that's possible. you would need to create new Invoices to correct the mistakes
rich stump
alright. Last question: Is there a bulk edit for subscriptions so I can activate "Collect taxes automatically" for all subscriptions?
undone sand
nope
rich stump
And regarding the new invoices: Option 1) This would mean I would need to create a new corrected invoice manually, send them to the user and ask him to transfer the amount? Option 2) Or is there also a way I can refund the incorrect amount without taxes and automatically charge the correct amount including taxes off his credit card? If possible I would like to avoid that the user has to do anything
undone sand
option 2 should be possible yes.
rich stump
Is the correct way:
- Issuing a credit note which and refund the amount and then
- Issuing an invoice with the correct amount including taxes and select "Autocharge"?
undone sand
there's no "correct way". but yes what you described can work!
