for my site, I am wondering why vat shows in the price for the product on the product page, but does not show it when I look at a payment link for example
kind dagger
Can you share the payment link? And could you clarify what where you expecting to see exactly?

I want to see the vat, but that is not showing up, but it only shows up in the price preview when I edit the price
kind dagger
I do see the VAT on your link. The VAT will be dynamically updated depending on the billing address entered on the page.

If you want to use automatic tax with checkout, you need to pass the automatic_tax.enabled parameter when creating the Checkout Session: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-automatic_tax
warped socket
it says that it is enabled, but when looking at the logs, it says it is "enabled": false,
it says it's enabled on the tax page itself, with stripe tax i mean
kind dagger
Can you clarify what you mean? The Checkout URL you just shared was created by this request: https://dashboard.stripe.com/logs/req_iHOEUsjVCAzDLB
And it it, you didn't set automatic_tax.enabled, so no tax is computed on the Checkout Session.
warped socket
sorry, in the logs it shows that the tax enabled is false, so i am wondering how to enable it
also sorry, i am new to this and my boss created the stripe site. I don't think we have anything in code, it was all done without code, and just through stripe. I hope that makes sense!
kind dagger
The long link you shared is for a Checkout Session, can can be only created with code. And it looks like it was created by MailerLite. So you need to contact MailerLite and ask them if they can add automatic_tax.enabled to the request.

👋 @warped socket
warped socket
ahh, thanks!
manic spruce
Can you share your question again please
warped socket
sure,
is it possible to have an option on payment links where you can enter your business id and have the transaction be tax exempt?
manic spruce
That's not possible. What's the use case?
warped socket
ahh ok
the payment link is for an online course that individuals or businesses can sign up for. Individuals would need to pay vat, but businesses wouldn't have to
manic spruce
I'd recommend created 2 separate Payment Links in that case: 1 with tax collection and 1 without
warped socket
sounds good, i am trying to figure out how that could be done so those who pay taxes don't use it by mistake
manic spruce
Not sure I understand
warped socket
sorry, if there were 2 payment links, I wouldn't want an individual clicking the business link and not paying taxes
manic spruce
Got it. Yeah unfortunately there's no other alternative right now. Payment Links weren't really designed to handle this kind of configuration/complexity
warped socket
i understand, i will come up with something.
thank you so much for your time!! 🙂
manic spruce
Of course, np!
