#darby - customer credit and checkout

Customer credit balances only apply to invoices, not one time payment intents. Are you using checkout to create subscriptions?
If you provide an existing customer with a balance, that credit will be used to reduce the amount of the first invoice they pay via Checkout
As for tax, I'd need to confirm but the tax I'd expect to be calculated on the initial subtotal before the credit
and then the credit would reduce the amount due
Yes, the balance reduced the amount due after the tax is calculated
We're not using checkout to create subscriptions
Hi, maybe you can help me
OK this is the problem I'm dealing with. And i dont know how to solve this issue. I'm building a marketplace, on initial sales (ie when the buyer is purchasing directly from me) they can pay partial in credit. But they need to be taxed for the entire transaction. And I haven't been able to figure out a way to use stripe checkout to do this
So for an example, user A has 100 dollars of credit in my system. They are purchasing something for 200. So their subtotal they should have to pay is 100. But they need to pay the full 200 worth of taxes
so the total they will pay is 100 + 200 worth of taxes
I've tried to use coupons, but coupons apply pre-tax, and not post-tax. Do you have any ways to accomplish this?
No, you can't do that. The tax is calculated on the amount of the purchase. You'll need to either hold that credit to apply elsewhere or otherwise calculate the amount & taxes yourself and pass the final amount to Checkout with taxes disabled.
You can't calculate taxes for an amount different than what is charged
OK thats what I figured. Alright thank you!
NP!
