Collect taxes

Learn how to collect taxes with Stripe Tax.

Copy page

Stripe Tax allows you to calculate the tax on your one-time and recurring payments when you use Checkout. You can enable Stripe Tax to automatically compute taxes on all of your Checkout purchases and subscriptions.

Create a Checkout Session

You can create Checkout sessions for one-time and recurring purchases.

To calculate tax for new customers, Checkout validates and uses the provided shipping or billing address. For existing customers, Checkout calculates tax by validating and using the attached customer shipping or billing address. If you capture a new billing or shipping address for an existing customer, Checkout won’t automatically override the previous billing or shipping information. You must explicitly request customer address changes.

Apple Pay and Google Pay

If you wish to ensure that Google Pay is offered as a payment method while using Stripe Tax in Checkout, you must require collecting a shipping address. Apple Pay with Stripe Tax displays only when the customer’s browser supports Apple Pay version 12 or greater.

Calculate tax for new customers

If you don’t pass in an existing customer when creating a Checkout session, Checkout creates a new customer and automatically saves the billing address and shipping information. Checkout uses the shipping address entered during the session to determine the customer’s location for calculating tax. If you don’t collect shipping information, Checkout uses the billing address.
