It just isn't persisted, the exemption is assessed on applied on a per session basis

#

You can also instruct Checkout to collect tax IDs from your customers by setting tax_id_collection. For one-off Checkout purchases not associated with a Customer object, Checkout collects and stores the customer’s tax exemption status and supplied tax IDs in customer_details on the completed Checkout Session object. You’re responsible for making sure that customer information is accurate (including their supplied tax identification numbers).

Zero tax amounts and reverse charges

Stripe Tax calculates a zero tax amount some scenarios, like non-registration, exempt products, reverse charges, exempt customers, and transactions in excluded territories. In these cases, to tax may not be applied to specific transactions

Okey, but if they where to use the customer_creation option, would that transfer the exempt status over to the customer?

wind smelt Apr 7, 2025, 9:13 AM

#

I'm not sure, they'd need to try

#

So if "customer_creation": null and we set up a subscription, what info is carried over to the customer object?

wind smelt Apr 7, 2025, 9:18 AM

#

Well in the example you shared they passed an existing customer via the customer parameter. So, in those scenarios it depends on what is set in customer_update: https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-customer_update

Okey so if we have a customer id in the checkout session the user have provided that and its nothing that Stripe just appends?

wind smelt Apr 7, 2025, 9:20 AM

#

I don't understand the question

#

If you provide an existing customer by default we will not update the customer with any info collected on the payment page

tepid loom Apr 7, 2025, 9:22 AM

#

Okey so we would have to try to find when they create the customer and make sure they set the tex_extempt there or in the update customer fields?

wind smelt Apr 7, 2025, 9:24 AM

#

Yes, either during create or update after the fact

#

Checkout cannot update/set that automatically as I said

tepid loom Apr 7, 2025, 9:24 AM

#

Can you see whit what type of call the customer cus_RvFH015qv5r04x have been created?

#

I am just thinking if it was created before any checkout session

wind smelt Apr 7, 2025, 9:25 AM

#

It was created independent of Checkout, directly via the API: https://dashboard.stripe.com/logs/req_T45L6JgPvuxl3s
