How do you deal with taxes? Or how do you help your customers deal with taxes?
- asommer12 5y agoAs of today, Kable relies on our payment partners to calculate tax. If you connect your Stripe account to Kable, you can enable automatic tax calculation in your Stripe dashboard, and invoices generated by Kable will be taxed by Stripe. As we add other payment partners, we will follow the same pattern. In the future, though, we do plan to add the option to calculate taxes directly within Kable.
- gondo 5y agoI see. Stripe actually does not help with taxes at all. All the work is left for users to figure out, configure and file.
- asommer12 5y ago@gondo I think this was a relatively recent change by Stripe. Check out Stripe Tax -- https://stripe.com/docs/tax/invoicing https://stripe.com/docs/tax/invoicing Kable uses Stripe's Invoice API directly (we don't create Stripe subscriptions which would cost an extra 0.5%). You can set up Stripe Tax to work with Invoices, and I believe most of what you'd want happens automatically. I may be wrong though -- please let me know if you've had a different experience!
- asommer12 5y agoAhh, are you talking about the actual setup of tax codes in Stripe?
- searchableguy 5y agoIs there a way to integrate paddle?
- asommer12 5y agoIntegrating Paddle (and other payment providers) is in our plans for the spring. Our existing customers have skewed toward Stripe, so we started there. If you're using Paddle today and want to get started with Kable, let me know and we can chat about prioritizing Paddle sooner
- searchableguy 5y agoHave any example on how to add kable to a graphql API?
- asommer12 5y agoWe don't currently have any customers using Kable and GraphQL together. To be totally honest, I'm not a GraphQL expert, and I don't want to give you any false information, so unfortunately no, I don't have an example for you. Kable can be accessed through our Node and Python libraries (more languages on the way) or over HTTPS REST API. I will have to defer to your design sense about the best way to leverage these technologies with a GraphQL API today.
- monstermachine 5y agoOne of the problems with graphql is a single query can fetch your entire API. This means to record for billing, you would need to parse the AST and tag the parts as well as their associated cost in a query. It's not an easy drop in, unfortunately.
