Hate to be a party pooper, but what about Sales Tax handling?


I'm also interested in this, and someone recently shared this with me: https://stripe.com/newsroom/news/taxjar

Apparently Stripe's acquisition of TaxJar is meant to expand their offerings in sales tax compliance.

From the article:

As the latest addition to Stripe’s revenue platform, TaxJar will help businesses automate tasks such as:

- Providing accurate sales tax rates at checkout, tied to the exact street address of the customer.

- Automatically submitting tax returns to local jurisdictions and remitting the sales tax collected.

- Producing local jurisdiction reports to show sales and sales tax collected—not only for each state, but for relevant counties, cities, and other special jurisdictions.

- Evaluating a company’s products and intelligently suggesting the right product tax code.


We have a number of exciting tax-related launches with Stripe coming soon. Drop me a note at jackerman@stripe.com and happy to give you early access.


"exciting" tax-related ...

You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means. ;)


This sounds great! We switched to Paddle (https://paddle.com/) so we didn't have to do tax compliance ourselves. Might switch back...


Drop me a note at jackerman@stripe.com and happy to give you a sneak peak about some cool taxes-related features we're launching very soon.


Feel you on taxes = party pooper... but yes, Stripe can help handle sales tax: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout/taxes. Much more on that front (VAT, Tax ID collection) coming very soon.
