Required entity mappings
Calculation of taxes in Stripe requires entity mapping in Metronome. Use this table of values to configure the correct entity mappings for your chosen tax service (Anrok or Avalara).
| Metronome entity | Stripe entity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Line item | invoiceitem | Created by invoicer upon issuance |
| Invoice | invoice | Created by invoicer upon issuance |
| "Product ID" custom field on Line item | invoiceitem.price.product | Stripe product ID is stored in a line item custom field. This field is used for the Anrok integration and is passed as part of the invoice item from Stripe during invoice issuance. |
| Any custom field on Line item | invoiceitem.metadata.* | Any metadata key that's stored on a line item custom field. This field can be used for the Avalara integration, specifically to provide tax_code metadata. This metadata is also passed as part of the invoice item from Stripe during invoice issuance. |
| Any custom field on Customer | invoice.metadata.* | Any metadata key that's stored on a customer custom field. This field can be used for the Avalara integration, specifically to provide tax_code metadata. This metadata is also passed as part of the invoice from Stripe during invoice issuance. |
