Everyone is piling on the "stop trying to feature-creep Stripe!" wagon but there is at least one reasonable suggestion in this post: A per-user fee tacked onto an existing plan.
> In total there are 4 different tax rates and then no taxes for international customers, for a total of 5 different tax levels. We currently have 3 monthly plans, and their 3 yearly equivalents. This means that we had to create (3 + 3) x 5 = 30 plans within Stripe.
This is definitely not ideal.
Agreed with everyone that asking Stripe to take care of figuring out the tax rates is far too much, but being able to say "Subscribe customer X to plan Y," which already exists, "and in addition add a Z fee to each charge." Z could be a percentage or an absolute value.
Maybe Z is tax. Maybe Z is shipping for a monthly package subscription.
Now Understoodit can keep their 3 + 3 plans. +1 to this.
