Thu, 20 Jul 2023 00:03:00 +0000 <div>Stripe supports <a href="https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing">outstanding invoice</a>, i.e. statements of amounts owed by the customer and <a href="https://stripe.com/docs/receipts">receipts</a> after payment. But in India's GST regime, tax invoices are to be provided after delivering the service i.e. after payment and has <a href="https://cleartax.in/s/gst-invoice">very specific rules for how the invoice should be</a>.</div><div> <ul> <li><b>Stripe's invoice is not compliant with the India's GST</b> invoice regulations(lack of required fields), Forcing me to generate my own invoice; Which is fine for the SaaS products where I have back-end to process the invoice but on services where there's no back-end e.g. static websites I have to generate the invoice manually.</li> <li>I have a separate Stripe account for each product/service for convenience under single GST registration which requires the <b>invoice number across accounts to be in same sequence</b> but is not possible with Stripe.</li> </ul><div>These are some of the major need-gaps I have noticed with Stripe's invoicing service in India, It may or may not be applicable to GST regimes of other countries. Companies with revenue over 50 crores (500 million) can use Govt's E-Invoicing API and so this need-gap affects only small businesses and indies.</div></div> 3 points posted by Abishek Muthian /problems/310-gst-compliant-invoice-for-stripe-billing-invoice 310 Sat, 02 Oct 2021 05:23:00 +0000
