Fixed tax rate setup on payment links for small sellers
Small sellers need a fixed sales tax rate on Stripe payment links.
Why it can work
- Stripe payment links only support address-based tax calculation.
- Location registration gives the wrong rate for single items.
- Optional checkout line items cannot take a tax rate.
Watch out
- Stripe may add this option, making the tool unnecessary.
- Multi-location sellers may need more than a fixed rate.

The job to be done
Apply a flat sales tax rate on Stripe payment links
When a small seller sells a single item through a Stripe payment link and needs a fixed sales tax rate, they need to apply that rate to the link or line item, so they can charge the correct tax without Stripe's location-based calculation getting it wrong.
