Hi!
So, to add context, i currently have a payment integration set up which works great, using stripe based checkout. I now have the need for individual one off payments for content, but as the business is subject to VAT i must charge VAT on these payments. Would this be possible be defining an item in the stripe portal and then adding that item to the intent?

you could take a look at this guide https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout/taxes

Would i need to create a checkout session to achieve this?

I thought you are already doing this

i am currently just using PaymentIntent

using stripe based checkout

Thats for my existing integration, i am creating a second integration for smaller one off payments, but embedded onto the page rather than using stripe checkout.
sorry if that was confusing.

ok no worries

ok

so this ^ works fine, but i need VAT with something like the above

you can't apply tax automatically on one-off payments, it can only be applied to Invoices, Subscriptions or Checkout.
you could calculate the vat yourself and add it to the amount of the PaymentIntent if you want to
you could also request to join the Orders beta that would allow you to use Stripe Tax with Payment intents

Oh, so as it is now it is a limitation for embedded payments?
is it possible to use a stripe session alongside embedding?

no, Checkout is always a full redirect to a hosted payment page, it can't be embedded

okay, this is useful. So one off payments will not include VAT and it will have to be done during accounting separately. Thanks

if you're using PaymentIntents directly then yes, but overall the recommendation here would be to use Checkout, even for these "smaller one-off payments".
