Taxes not sent to Stripe

Hi @sandeld

Thanks for reaching out!

I understand that you would like the VAT amount to be displayed under your Stripe’s transactions, correct?

I checked the Github Repository and found that this was already reported as a bug here: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-gateway-stripe/issues/2103

I would suggest subscribing to the thread to keep posted for updates.

Thanks!

Thanks for the link. Looks like this is never going to get implemented. What a shame. Can you at least tell me how to correctly hook into this function from functions.php?

You can see I’ve already edited the $metadata object directly in the plugin code by adding:

'order_tax' => $order->get_total_tax(),

But obviously it’s better to leave that alone and call it from the child theme.

public function generate_payment_request( $order, $prepared_payment_method ) {
		$settings                              = get_option( 'woocommerce_stripe_settings', [] );
		$statement_descriptor                  = ! empty( $settings['statement_descriptor'] ) ? str_replace( "'", '', $settings['statement_descriptor'] ) : '';
		$short_statement_descriptor            = ! empty( $settings['short_statement_descriptor'] ) ? str_replace( "'", '', $settings['short_statement_descriptor'] ) : '';
		$is_short_statement_descriptor_enabled = ! empty( $settings['is_short_statement_descriptor_enabled'] ) && 'yes' === $settings['is_short_statement_descriptor_enabled'];
		$capture                               = ! empty( $settings['capture'] ) && 'yes' === $settings['capture'] ? true : false;
		$post_data                             = [];
		$post_data['currency']                 = strtolower( $order->get_currency() );
		$post_data['amount']                   = WC_Stripe_Helper::get_stripe_amount( $order->get_total(), $post_data['currency'] );

				}
				// other payment methods error if we try to add a statement descriptor in the request
		}

		if ( method_exists( $order, 'get_shipping_postcode' ) && ! empty( $order->get_shipping_postcode() ) ) {
			$post_data['shipping'] = [
				'name'    => trim( $order->get_shipping_first_name() . ' ' . $order->get_shipping_last_name() ),

		];

		if ( $this->has_subscription( $order->get_id() ) ) {
			$metadata += [
				'payment_type' => 'recurring',

Hi @sandeld

I understand that you would like to do custom coding as a workaround for this issue.
