What are you calculating it for beforehand? Just want to make sure that anything I come up with would suit your needs

#

OK so this is my issue. I need to apply credit to a total transaction. And I need to collect the sales tax of the total, not the subtotal. And it doesn't look like stripe allows me to do this. So I need to calculate the sales tax of the total and add it as a line item prior to sending to stripe checkout

#

does that make sense?

urban dirge Mar 17, 2022, 8:33 PM

#

That makes sense. I will look in to how you may accomplish this

eager crater Mar 17, 2022, 8:33 PM

#

thank you!!!

#

there wouldnt be a public api for the sales tax for an address?

urban dirge Mar 17, 2022, 8:38 PM

#

Unfortunately not. You could likely accomplish this by signing up for our beta that allows Tax outside of Checkout, creating you a payment intent with the full price, and getting the tax on that. But I am trying to think on if there is an easier way

#

Can you point me to that beta? I'll take a gander

urban dirge Mar 17, 2022, 8:45 PM

#

Having trouble finding it at the moment.

#

Will send you a link when I can find that

Thanks Pompey 🙂

Hey @eager crater! Stepping in here for @urban dirge who needed to step away. You'll want to contact our Support team about this and see if you are eligible. We can't really discuss betas in discord.

#

Hey bismarck, ok thats fine

#

Can you think of any other way to do this?

sacred laurel Mar 17, 2022, 9:09 PM

#

The only workaround really would be to preview an invoice for the customer with Stripe Tax enabled based on a provided address. That would allow you to know the tax amount for the full amount. Then you would charge them a custom amount (and not use Stripe Tax) within Checkout that accounts for your credit as well as full tax.

#

This is a hacky workaround and I wouldn't really recommend it.

eager crater Mar 17, 2022, 9:09 PM

#

Honestly thats what I was thinking too, and yeah it's hacky. But stupid weird corner cases

sacred laurel Mar 17, 2022, 9:10 PM

#

Yes... we are working on something that will be able to handle this (as mentioned above).

#

So contacting Support, or waiting for that to go public, may be your best bet if this is crucial.

eager crater Mar 17, 2022, 9:10 PM

#

🤷‍♂️ is there a timeline when that will be out of beta?

sacred laurel Mar 17, 2022, 9:10 PM

#

No I don't have any sort of timeline, sorry.

eager crater Mar 17, 2022, 9:10 PM

#

or a rough timeline?

#

fair enough, software is hard

sacred laurel Mar 17, 2022, 9:11 PM

#

That's why I'd recommend contacting support... they may be able to give you more info.

eager crater Mar 17, 2022, 9:11 PM

#

out of curiousity, do you all do this on shifts additionally to your dev work? or do y'all do this full time?

sacred laurel Mar 17, 2022, 9:12 PM

#

We do this as part of our full time responsibilities, yes.

eager crater Mar 17, 2022, 9:12 PM

#

that's awesome

sacred laurel Mar 17, 2022, 9:12 PM

#

I think so too 🙂

eager crater Mar 17, 2022, 9:12 PM

#

alright, thanks bismarck! as always your awesome
