hey there, taking a look

#

So this is not currently exposed explicitly, though we're looking at ways to make that available

#

Currently you'd need to ask your users during onboarding, or otherwise make some request to test this.
ie create a checkout session and detect that error

Ah I see... for us, stripe Tax is a unique selling point that we want to add to our SaaS. It makes things easier for our customers - so we basically want to 'resell' it. We will make it easy for our customers to enable stripe tax and then use it through our platform to sell their products

#

Hmm so the second option is the most reliable? (if they don't set it up during onboarding, but later, then we should check again if it's set up)

fresh trench Jan 28, 2022, 3:21 PM

#

Yes, at this point that'd be the only way. I'd suggest you have your UI ask them if its set up, and only verify after they tell you it is

cosmic wraith Jan 28, 2022, 3:22 PM

#

UI?

#

Oh you literally mean user interface? I thought you're referring to a person

fresh trench Jan 28, 2022, 3:23 PM

#

I mean your application where you onboard users, sign up for an account etc

cosmic wraith Jan 28, 2022, 3:23 PM

#

Thanks! Any way I can get a ping when it's exposed in the API?

#

"Have you set up Stripe Tax in your Stripe Dashboard?"

#

If you right in to support and mention my name I can track the work internally and reach out when I get updates 🙂

And one more q: in this checkout session for a connected acc it's showing 'COURSES' without a logo. How can I let the connected accounts customise this?

Assuming you created this using the stripe accoutn header, they'd need to set up their branding settings in the dashboard

cosmic wraith Jan 28, 2022, 3:27 PM

#

Yes, is there another way to create it with info from our db? I expected we can pass some parameters for this into the 'create session'

fresh trench Jan 28, 2022, 3:30 PM

#

Sorry, what do you mean?

#

The branding (icon) must be set by the connect account in their dashboard

cosmic wraith Jan 28, 2022, 3:32 PM

#

I expected to be able to pass params to this https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create
Like "checkout_title": "Black friday deal"

fresh trench Jan 28, 2022, 3:33 PM

#

If you want to control more of this experience, you'll need to consider using express or custom accounts, putting the branding and customer tax configurations under your control (but this also is a big change to charge flows and liability etc)

#

Why would you expect a parameter like that? Did you find some reference/guide saying so?

#

The name displayed is the merchant selling the good/service

#

then the line items show the descriptions for the products being sold

cosmic wraith Jan 28, 2022, 3:35 PM

#

We're going with standard accounts now to keep things simple and especially not ahve to worry much about liability now.
I expected that parameter naturally, I didn't see any reference no

#

Okay so:

these lines (top left) are the only ones customisable with parameters creating the session ?
And that's done by setting the line_items.description ? (I'm now actually setting line_items.title whicih I don't see in the documentation, is this replaced with line_items.description ?)

#

#

the best way to let users customise is by simply giving them this link? https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/branding
Or can we 'embed' this into our ui?

fresh trench Jan 28, 2022, 3:56 PM

#

Yes, though we'd suggest using price/price_data instead of the description

#

What is the response body you're showing in the dev tools from?

#

It appears that you might be looking at an internal API request used by Checkout, which may use title but that's just for mapping data to the UI and isn't necessarily reflective of the API you use for integrating

fresh trench Jan 28, 2022, 4:47 PM

#

Are you all set now @cosmic wraith ?

cosmic wraith Jan 28, 2022, 7:13 PM

#

That response is from my own server - anyway I'll try description andl ook at price/price_data

#

Thanks for the help, would just like to know an answer to question 3: what's the easeist way for our clients to set their branding? We send them https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/branding ? OR can we embed do something similar to the standard accounts onboarding workflow

fresh trench Jan 28, 2022, 7:54 PM

#

They use that page on the dashboard, yes

#

You can direct them there with some guidance about what to set to fulfill what you're aiming for

#

If you're creating new accounts via the API as we recommend, you can help them set this initially during your onboarding flow:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/create#create_account-settings-branding

#

but for standard accounts this is not available for update requests after creation
