Hi! Are you using Checkout Session?

pallid fox May 12, 2022, 9:29 AM

#

Hi @lyric nimbus ! That is correct.

#

Could you share the Checkout Session ID?

pallid fox May 12, 2022, 9:30 AM

#

Is it the long string of text in the URL?

lyric nimbus May 12, 2022, 9:33 AM

#

Yes, it should start with cs_

pallid fox May 12, 2022, 9:34 AM

#

I think this is it: cs_test_a1hOtObPa4BBbZVILNE4OI092Ev7gcBB9Z7H88H4QWy5q5P9wAwexnvgQu

#

then there is "#" and next string of characters.

Thanks! And so you are saying that this part of the form is not shown to customers outside the EU?

pallid fox May 12, 2022, 9:36 AM

#

yup

#

I am not complaining :-). I just thought that being able to add this sort of info to the resulting invoice would be a requirement for many businesses. So I am wondering if I should implement it on my own, or there is some tax rule, that renders this unnecessary.

Based on this page: https://stripe.com/docs/tax/checkout/tax-ids

With tax ID collection enabled, Checkout shows and hides the tax ID collection form depending on your customer’s location. If your customer is in a location supported by tax ID collection, Checkout shows a checkbox allowing the customer to indicate that they’re purchasing as a business.

I read it. It states: "With tax ID collection enabled, Checkout shows and hides the tax ID collection form depending on your customer’s location".
What it does not say is why and how does it depend on the location.

I'm guessing if the customer is not in one of these countries, then the form is not shown. As to why, I don't know. You could try to ask the Stripe support for these types of questions: https://support.stripe.com/?contact=true

According to this: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/customer/tax-ids
You support many other countries. Do you have any idea regarding the discrepancy?
