Stripe cofounder here. This isn't really new -- it's an extension of our last round (https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/19/fintech-start-up-stripe-notc...).

That said, we've seen a big spike in signups over the past few weeks. If any HN readers have integrated recently and have feedback, we're always eager to hear it. Feel free to email me at patrick@stripe.com and I'll route to the right team(s).

As always, thank you to the many HNers who are also active Stripe users!

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. :)

Josh 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

Josh, 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.
