as far as I know we don't provide any such API to get a tax rate directly. Usually you use Checkout and tax gets applied automatically https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout/taxes
soft haven
ok
so can you tell me how stripe getting accurate tax rate does they are using there on system if stripe expose that api then it will make easy for integration and collecting tax on customer order. because already stripe managing.
and one more point we integrate stripe using payment intent which is not supported automatic tax calculation
amber moon
it's through an internal tax engine and I don't think we're in a state right now to expose it as a public API
and yes right now PaymentIntents are low-level and don't integrate with this tax system, you'd need to use Checkout or Subscriptions/Invoices for now!
soft haven
in checkout we should redirect our user to stripe checkout page we not able to do this
in short our client requirement we don't want go through stripe page thats why we implemented stripe connect custom acc.
is there any option other than you mention above
give me some suggestion because last couple of weeks we are stuck.
amber moon
well the other option is to integrate with some third party tax provider (e.g https://stripe.com/partners/apps-and-extensions?q=tax) and then use their information so your code can change the amount you pass to Stripe to include the tax, or use their invoice/payment systems.
amber moon
I can't comment on any future plans!
soft haven
ok thank you very much
soft haven
hi one more question if we are not using Checkout or Subscriptions/Invoices

amber moon
