> #### Transfer tax liability to Stripe
> 
> If you sell digital products, [Managed Payments](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/managed-payments/tax-compliance.md) allows you to offload tax liability to Stripe so we’re directly responsible for handling sales tax, VAT, or GST globally. As a merchant of record solution, Managed Payments also handles fraud prevention, dispute management, and customer support on all transactions.

#### API

To create a payment link with automatic tax collection, pass the `automatic_tax[enabled]` parameter to the [Payment Link API](https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment-link/create.md) endpoint:

```curl
curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/payment_links \
  -u "<<YOUR_SECRET_KEY>>:" \
  -d "automatic_tax[enabled]=true" \
  -d "line_items[0][price]={{PRICE_ID}}" \
  -d "line_items[0][quantity]=1"
```

## Optional: Update your products and prices

Stripe Tax uses information stored on your products and prices to calculate tax, including tax codes and tax behavior. If you don’t explicitly configure these, Stripe Tax uses the defaults from your [Tax Settings](https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/tax).

For detailed setup instructions, see [Specify product tax codes and tax behavior](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/products-prices-tax-codes-tax-behavior.md).
