  • Customer is exempted from tax. When using Chargebee's native Taxes feature or when using the TaxJar integration, no other action is needed.
  • However, when using our Avalara integration, optionally, specify entity_code or exempt_number attributes if you use Chargebee's AvaTax for Sales or specify exemption_details attribute if you use Chargebee's AvaTax for Communications integration. Tax may still be applied by Avalara for certain values of entity_code/exempt_number/exemption_details based on the state/region/province of the taxable address.

* taxable - Computes tax for the customer based on the site configuration. In some cases, depending on the region, shipping_address is needed. If not provided, then billing_address is used to compute tax. If that's not available either, the tax is taken as zero.

The customers will be redirected to this URL upon successful checkout. The hosted page id and state will be passed as parameters to this URL.

This is because redirection may not happen due to unforeseen reasons. Chargebee recommends listening to appropriate webhooks such as subscription_created or invoice_generated to verify a successful checkout.

Note :

  • Redirect URL configured in Settings > Hosted Pages Settings would be overriden by this redirect URL.
    Eg : http://yoursite.com?id=<hosted_page_id>&state=succeeded
  • This parameter is not applicable for iframe messaging.
