Hey Patrick,
It would be great if Stripe Checkout included VAT-related features:
* Detect country and - if needed - add appropriate VAT
* Allow customer to add a valid VAT number, so that when appropriate tax is not charged
* Offer clear reporting on what VAT has been collected for each jurisdiction
I realise this is a big, big can of worms. But that’s why we use Stripe, right? For help handling that big can of worms that is international payment collections. :)
- jackerman 7y agoJosh here from the Stripe Checkout team. We're actively thinking about VAT-related features for Checkout. We'd love to chat; drop me a note at jackerman@stripe.com
- stevoski 7y agoJosh, I appreciate you being receptive. But I've been asking Stripe for this since 2015. I don't know what info I can possibly offer you that you surely haven't heard from tons of customers over the years.
- the-real-jap 7y agoMy company uses Chargebee as the subscription management layer (between stripe and our systems; they perform charging, billing and dunning for us, and also offer us a slick interface to hand out rebates and the like); they are able to at least determine the correct VAT amount for European customers (based on IP/asking the user). It's not free though, but I'm happy we are able to focus on our product instead of those things.
