hi there! if you want to collect recurring payments, you would use Subscriptions instead. Orders is meant to allow you to build custom checkout flows and calculate tax automatically. PaymentIntents alone does not allow you to calculate tax automatically.

i am using checkout currently
tepid canyon
you can use Checkout for Subscriptions : https://stripe.com/docs/billing/quickstart

right that is what i did
so i can't just switch to the orders API the way that checkout link you just sent does?
tepid canyon
out of curiosity, why do you want to switch to the orders API?
also, you mentioned ACH direct credit, did you mean ACH credit transfer or ACH direct debits?

I see automatic_tax in checkout. Is that all I need?
to handle tax. The orders API is stripe.js only?
ACH direct debit payments
using checkout preferrably
It would be nice for customers to choose in checkout credit credit card or ACH
tepid canyon
yes, you would use automatic_tax in Checkout to handle tax
thin arrow
so then i don't need the orders api then?
tepid canyon
you don't need to use the orders api
thin arrow
cool
tepid canyon
Checkout supports using ACH direct debits for subscriptions
thin arrow
nice how do i do that?

if you don't input a payment method type, Stripe will automatically list the relevant payment methods : https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-payment_method_types You can enable/disable them here : https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/settings/payment_methods and https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/payment_methods

is there a test ACH I can use like 424242... for cards?
