What's new in version 2.1.0

The new version included a new feature to support tax rates for implementing sales tax, GST and VAT for subscriptions based on the country and state the users are in.

As a developer, you don't need to worry about the complexity of the subscription payments and taxes as the project will take care of them. All you need to do is to configure the tax rates in Stripe and Firestore database.

Adding a tax rate in Stripe

You can add a tax rate in Stripe UI under the Products menu. Once a tax rate is added, there is tax rate ID generated by Stripe.

Adding a tax rate in Firebase

Create a new collection called “taxes” in Firestore, and use the Stripe tax rate ID as the document ID for each tax rate document in Firestore.

Below is the JSON object of the Australia GST tax rate in Firestore:

{
    "applicable": [
        "AU"
    ],
    "rate": 10
}

Below is the JSON object of the California Sales Tax rate in Firestore:

{
    "applicable": [
        "US:CA"
    ],
    "rate": 7.25
}

Each tax can be applied to multiple countries or states. For country wide tax, put in the 2-character country code in the applicable array. For state specific tax, put in the 2-character country code and state code with a colon as separator in the applicable array.

You can find all the available country code and state code in the /src/inc/country.json file.
