Hi, let me help you with this.

Thank you

I am not a tax expert but I think you can calculate taxes just for one country, which is where the customer is.

steady bolt Apr 4, 2025, 12:49 PM

I am looking to utilize the automatic tax for shipping costs, I need to have the shipping costs as a line item. Then set the taxrate_id to 'txcd_92010001' to the tax shows up in the tax line. I just can't seem to find out where to set the shipping origin address and shipping destination address?

edgy swallow Apr 4, 2025, 12:51 PM

#

Do you need both addresses for tax calculation?

steady bolt Apr 4, 2025, 12:51 PM

#

Yes

#

It won't always be shipping from the same address

edgy swallow Apr 4, 2025, 12:52 PM

#

I understand you might need to calculate shipping amount using both addresses, which in turn impacts taxes. But the customer only pays taxes in one country in a transaction.

steady bolt Apr 4, 2025, 12:52 PM

#

Correct

edgy swallow Apr 4, 2025, 12:53 PM

#

So, you need both addresses to calculate the shipping costs. Stripe doesn't calculate shipping costs, and they need to be provided by you. So there's no need to provide the origin address to Stripe.

#

I am items shipping from Province to Province in Canada and State to State in US

#

The customer is not paying for the product, just the shipping costs

#

I need a way to display an invoice for just the shipping costs.

#

Is there a way to manually set the shipping costs and manual set the tax amount and description?

edgy swallow Apr 4, 2025, 12:58 PM

#

I would suggest just treating your shipping cost as a Price object, not ShippingRate: https://docs.stripe.com/api/prices/create

#

If you're not planning to sell any other items on the session - that wouldn't work.

steady bolt Apr 4, 2025, 12:59 PM

#

The shipping costs will vary, as shipping costs fluctuate daily. I cannot use a price object.

#

And the origin and destination will always change.

#

Then you can use price_data to set the custom amount for each Checkout Session: https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-line_items-price_data

#

Using price_data as @edgy swallow indicates lets you define your price ad-hoc as you calculate your rates.

steady bolt Apr 4, 2025, 1:06 PM

#

Ok let me check

#

Can you provide me with an example?

sacred moon Apr 4, 2025, 1:09 PM

#

Sure, you can find an example of using price_data in all supported server languages here in the docs: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/accept-a-payment?platform=web&ui=stripe-hosted#redirect-customers
