INVOICE_PAYMENT_FAILED when tax_percentage specified

For currencies without any decimal places (e.g. ISK), specifying a tax_percentage = 24 in ‘Create Subscription’ caused the subscription to fail later on.

Notice that the total field in the response has a decimal number in it.

What I’d expect should happen is that the number should be rounded to the nearest integer.

create subscription request that fails:

{
“customer”: “cus_2bca62723eb95e65998b94d9a34ca00d”,
“billing”: “pay_automatically”,
“days_until_due”: 0,
“cancel_at_period_end”: false,
“subscription_items”: [
{
“plan”: “plan_7e018e6a03622f5e441a3a7a9459469f”,
“quantity”: 1
}
],
“tax_percent”: 24
}

Hi,
Thank you for pointing out this unique use case. There may be an issue with this specific subscription use case where both a currency that does not support decimal places and a tax rate is defined. Note that for regular payments a round down is made as shown in this method that I just ran:

For your specific sandbox use case, which I assume is related to the hackathon, I suggest to initially use a currency that supports decimal places.

Thank you Legato for the reply. This is not related to the hackathon actually so changing the currency is not really an option… I wonder how the procedure for bugfixing is for these kind of cases (and timeframe).

If this is a production matter and you are a customer of Rapyd, then please also contact support as they may be able to provide a workaround workflow for you until this is fixed. In any case, a ticket has been opened for this matter. I cannot promise a specific timeframe at this time, but will update you when the matter has been addressed.

Thanks
