Hi
inland jungle
Hi @light sapphire I'll be with you shortly.
light sapphire
No problem, thank you 🙂
inland jungle
Hi @light sapphire Thanks for waiting. You can use the "make line item quantities adjustable" feature to create checkout sessions with prices of exclusive tax_behavior.
light sapphire
I will check that out now thank you
Will that allow us to set differeing pricing based on quantity i.e. if they select over 10k pricing is 'x' and over 25k pricing is 'y' etc.
inland jungle
Is it a one-time payment or subscription?
light sapphire
One time
inland jungle
I see. The price has a tiers attribute that allows you specify different unit_amount based on quantity https://docs.stripe.com/api/prices/create?#create_price-tiers . However this attribute is only available to recurring prices, not one-time prices.
light sapphire
What do you mean by this? So it is not possible?
inland jungle
Not possible with one-time payments. Btw I just created a checkout session with custom_unit_amount and an exclusive tax_rate.
Is this something that you want to achieve?
light sapphire
Yes
inland jungle
Ok, can you share with me the code that you wrote to create a checkout session?
light sapphire
One second
mode: "payment",
payment_method_types: ["card"],
customer: stripeCustomerId,
line_items: [
{
price_data: {
currency: "aud",
product: process.env.STRIPE_PRODUCT_ID,
unit_amount: Math.round(totalPrice * 100),
tax_behavior: "exclusive",
},
quantity: 1,
},
],```OK, you haven't specified a tax_rate in the request.
You should create a tax rate object, and pass its ID to the line_items
mode: "payment",
payment_method_types: ["card"],
customer: stripeCustomerId,
line_items: [
{
price_data: {
currency: "aud",
product: process.env.STRIPE_PRODUCT_ID,
unit_amount: Math.round(totalPrice * 100),
tax_behavior: "exclusive",
},
quantity: 1,
tax_rates: [
TAX_RATE_ID
]
},
],```Ok, what is the tax rate ID ?
inland jungle
You need to create one.https://docs.stripe.com/api/tax_rates/create
light sapphire
Ok is this it?
taxcstm_test_61TKokLPElhIfgC9941COYj7uUtbdC1o
inland jungle
how did you get this ID? A tax rate object should have an ID starts with txr
light sapphire
Via Tax -> Customisations on the dashboard
inland jungle
No, that's not tax rate. you should just use the API to create one.
light sapphire
Will this only apply to people w/ a jurisdiciton of AU or anyone? As it seems to be applying to anyone:
id: 'txr_1SBQrtCOYj7uUtbdc7zDXyvp',
object: 'tax_rate',
active: true,
country: null,
created: 1758851681,
description: 'Goods and Services Tax',
display_name: 'GST',
effective_percentage: 10,
flat_amount: null,
inclusive: false,
jurisdiction: 'AU',
jurisdiction_level: null,
livemode: false,
metadata: {},
percentage: 10,
rate_type: 'percentage',
state: null,
tax_type: null
}```This tax rate will be applied to the checkout session if you include in the creation request.
light sapphire
To everybody, irrespective of their jurisdition / country?
inland jungle
To clarify, are you worried that creating a new tax rate object will make Stripe automatically applying it to all checkout sessions?
light sapphire
Yes. As we have tonnes of different products on our stripe account and onlt want tax to apply to this product
