How to: Subscriptions Payment Invoice to include Tax breakdown

Product Support

As a temporary fix to get it working, I’ve added the flag Stripe API Reference - Invoices to app/controllers/discourse_subscriptions/subscribe_controller.rb

Added:
automatic_tax: { enabled: true}

see below:

          transaction =
            ::Stripe::Subscription.create(
              customer: customer[:id],
              items: [{ price: params[:plan] }],
              metadata: metadata_user,
              trial_period_days: trial_days,
              promotion_code: promo_code_id,
              automatic_tax: { enabled: true}
            )

I believe I can run with this fix for a while, and then when it is eventually added as a feature, I can swap it back to the original. I need to consider this before I go live to make sure it isn’t going to be a big pain later.

Any thoughts on why this is a bad idea if I need it working before it is an official feature?
