We're running into a UX challenge with our Connect integration and hoping you can help or point us in the right direction.
Our Setup:
Marketplace platform using Connect with destination charges
Using Stripe Automatic Tax with platform as tax-liable entity
on_behalf_of set to connected account for credit card statement branding
Current Config (working correctly):
{
automatic_tax: {
enabled: true,
liability: { type: 'self' } // platform is tax-liable
},
subscription_data: {
on_behalf_of: 'acct_xxx', // partner on CC statements ✅
invoice_settings: {
issuer: { type: 'self' } // platform issues invoice
}
}
}
{ automatic_tax: { enabled: true, liability: { type: 'self' } // platform is tax-liable }, subscription_data: { on_behalf_of: 'acct_xxx', // partner on CC statements ✅ invoice_settings: { issuer: { type: 'self' } // platform issues invoice } }}
The Issue:
Since we must set issuer.type = 'self' to match the tax liability (Stripe requirement), our platform's business info (name, address, email, phone) appears prominently on invoices.
Our partners (connected accounts) want their branding more visible to customers, not ours. We've added:
Custom fields: "Service Provider": "Partner Name"
Footer: "Services provided by Partner Name"
But the platform issuer info still dominates the invoice header.
Question:
Is there any way to:
Minimize/hide the platform issuer details on invoices while maintaining platform tax liability?
Or customize how the issuer section displays (e.g., show partner as "Seller" separately)?
Any upcoming features that might address this for marketplace platforms?
We understand the legal requirement for invoice issuer identification, but wondering if there's flexibility for marketplaces where the platform handles tax but partners are the customer-facing brand.
