Commenda integration
for Stripe

Yes, and Stripe is our most-used integration, with real-time transaction sync and ship-to mapping. The difference is scope: Stripe Tax calculates at checkout but does not register you, file returns, manage exemption certificates, or cover revenue that never touched Stripe. Commenda handles the full lifecycle, and many customers run both during the transition before retiring Stripe Tax.

Yes. Customers building their own checkout insert a Commenda calculation call between their platform and Stripe, so the right tax is on the charge before it settles. It is real-time and invisible to the buyer, and white-label if you do not want Commenda named.

Every source is read separately and consolidated into one ledger tagged by ship-to state, with the source visible on each transaction. Tax a marketplace already collected stays separate from revenue that still needs it, so a direct Stripe sale gets tax applied while an already-taxed marketplace order does not.

Yes. Connecting Stripe backfills your transaction history, and we run an exposure analysis against thresholds in every state and country you sold into. That is also the data we use to prepare back-period filings under a voluntary disclosure agreement.

A voluntary disclosure agreement usually waives penalties and leaves interest, and the waiver succeeds in roughly 98% of the ones we run. Lookback periods are two to four years in most states and unlimited in a few, Nevada among them. Below a meaningful liability a plain backdated registration costs less than a VDA.

You set the scope, and it stays visible and editable after setup. Access is controlled per user and per entity, so not everyone on your team sees everything. Auditors get read-only access without shared credentials, and access is logged.

Yes. Your customers upload certificates through a self-service portal. We validate and store each one against the customer, then apply it automatically to future invoices in the states where it is valid. Expiries are tracked and chased, including annual refreshes in states like Florida, and we can batch-request certificates from customers who have never sent one.
