I’m trying to connect Stripe and Cuentica (an e-invoicing spanish app) with Zapier.

Everything works except my Stripe’s New Payment trigger gets lots of Data Out about customer’s info, amounts, etc but Tax ID (VAT, TIN,...) number is not retrieved, and that number is important to make proper invoices in Spain.

I can see that ID in Stripe’s tax calculations, but it doesn’t appears in Zapier.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

in the end I forced to create Invoices on Stripe, so it creates a Customer.

Then with a Find customer action I retrieved the Tad ID, an then Copilot helped me to use that value in other steps.

Thanks for your help!

In my opinion, you can add one more module to search invoices from Stripe that can better help complete the workflow. [Removed promotional content in violation of the Community Code of Conduct.]

Hey ​@Juanjo Lopez,

Try adding Find Customer action to see if it can expose the tax id.


Hope it helps!

Hi, ​@Sparsh from Automation Jinn ,

Find Customer doesn’t find anything, maybe because my customers use to pay as Guests.

Thanks for your tip!

 

Hi ​@paul3331 ,

I don’t create invoices in Stripe. I have an online shop that use Stripe just for payment. Stripe Tax use tax IDs to calculate them, but it seems that info is not shared easily with Zapier.

I’ll check Fiverr, thanks!

Hey ​@Juanjo Lopez,

Then you may need to use Stripe API or webhooks. Then you can API request action to query the Stripe API.

 

Here is a helpful article about API request action in Zapier- https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/12899607716493-Create-an-API-Request-action. Hope it helps!

You'll need to call the Stripe API to retrieve the tax ID by using the correct API endpoint, which can be accessed via transaction ID, customer name, email, or other identifying information.

I have tried with (I think) transaction ID but I get: 

Response Data Error Message
No such tax_id: 'pi_3SLh7oB6vUzgseEG17oPX8pk'
 
It seems to expect a Tax ID
