Unfortunately Elements does not support Automatic Tax at the moment and I don't think it will be able to support Tax for them when it does.

Ok, so our only option there would be to use API only and integrate TaxJar. Then we can generate tax rates ourselves and support credit card, apple pay, and google pay via Stripe API?
Actually would there be a middle ground option where we use Elements + TaxJar to support Google / Apple / Credit Card without the need to go fully API only?

I am unsure. Looking in to these and will get back to you

Ok thank you.
TLDR what is the quickest most efficient way to have dynamic tax rates and support google / apple pay.
(and also PayPal, I know Stripe doesn't support PayPal but if we use the above option and generate tax rates with taxjar then we could also offer our customers PayPal as PayPal does not support automatic tax. Correct?)

Hey apologies for the delay here. Yes, using another service for automatic tax calculation would be the way to get that behavior

Hi there, I asked a similar question earlier and I'm sorry if I'm missing something but I'm struggling to figure this out / find documentation. We need to be able to accept credit card, Apple page, and Google pay, but also need to ensure we are charging the correct amount of sales tax for a customer based on their address. We are currently using Stripe Tax and Stripe Checkout but that doesn't support Apple / Google pay. If we move to Stripe Elements and use TaxJar to get a real time tax rate for our users address, then how do we charge that sales tax with the paymentIntent API. Any help would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.
just quoting here

Yep thats it. We are live with Stripe Checkout / Tax and its working great but we need to support Apple / Google pay and Im trying to figure out the best way to do that.

Currently those are not compatible. When using Checkout & Stripe Tax, Apple Pay and Google Pay will not be presented as options.
This is noted in a callout here: https://stripe.com/docs/tax/checkout#create-session

Right, understood. So trying to figure out my options. It seems that I could move to Stripe Elements and use the Payment Element. But then when would need to calculate tax rates on my own with a service like TaxJar.
This must be common right? Users wanting to support Apple / Google pay but needing to charge correct sales tax. So Im just trying to figure out our best steps forward

Yes, you'd need to collect your customer location separately in your payment flow, then set the correct amount for the payment intent before entering the apple/google pay sheet

Ok thats what I thought. So next question, PaymentIntent only have a single property for "amount" right? No way to specify the sals tax separately?
And would that mean tax is not shown separately in the Stripe dashboard, which would make reporting much harder
lilac meteor
Correct, its a single amount and you would need to track this in your system

Checkout does! it's the tax piece that's an issue
While Payment Intents doesn't offer built-in support for taxes today, we are working on other things to make this easier. See here and please do reach out with details about your use case to the noted email: https://stripe.com/docs/tax/faq#what-integrations-do-you-support

Sorry yes Checkout does! You're right. I just wish it did with automatic tax.
Ok thanks for the help

NP!
