# Automatically collect tax on Payment Links

Learn how to calculate and collect tax on a payment page without writing any code.

You can use Stripe Tax with [Payment Links](https://stripe.com/payments/payment-links) to automatically calculate and collect tax on a payment page and share a link to it with your customers, without writing any code.

To [create a payment link](https://docs.stripe.com/payment-links/create.md) in the Dashboard:

1. Open the [Payment Links](https://dashboard.stripe.com/payment-links/create) page.
1. Click **+ New**.
1. Fill out the details.
1. Enable **Collect tax automatically**.

To update an existing payment link in the Dashboard:

1. Open the [Payment Links](https://dashboard.stripe.com/payment-links) page.
1. Select the payment link you want to update.
1. On the payment link details page, click the overflow menu (⋯), then click **Edit**.
1. In the payment link editor, select **Collect tax automatically** to enable automatic tax collection on this payment link.
1. (Optional) Select **Collect customers’ addresses** to improve tax calculation accuracy. The more information you provide, the more precise the calculation.
1. Click **Update link** to save your changes.

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:

```dotnet
StripeConfiguration.ApiKey = "<<secret key>>";

var options = new PaymentLinkCreateOptions
{
    AutomaticTax = new PaymentLinkAutomaticTaxOptions { Enabled = true },
    LineItems = new List<PaymentLinkLineItemOptions>
    {
        new PaymentLinkLineItemOptions { Price = "<<price>>", Quantity = 1 },
    },
};
var service = new PaymentLinkService();
PaymentLink paymentLink = service.Create(options);
```

```go
stripe.Key = "<<secret key>>"

params := &stripe.PaymentLinkParams{
  AutomaticTax: &stripe.PaymentLinkAutomaticTaxParams{Enabled: stripe.Bool(true)},
  LineItems: []*stripe.PaymentLinkLineItemParams{
    &stripe.PaymentLinkLineItemParams{Price: stripe.String("<<price>>"), Quantity: stripe.Int64(1)},
  },
};
result, err := paymentlink.New(params);
```

```java
Stripe.apiKey = "<<secret key>>";

PaymentLinkCreateParams params =
  PaymentLinkCreateParams.builder()
    .setAutomaticTax(PaymentLinkCreateParams.AutomaticTax.builder().setEnabled(true).build())
    .addLineItem(
      PaymentLinkCreateParams.LineItem.builder().setPrice("<<price>>").setQuantity(1L).build()
    )
    .build();

PaymentLink paymentLink = PaymentLink.create(params);
```

```node
const stripe = require('stripe')('<<secret key>>');

const paymentLink = await stripe.paymentLinks.create({
  automatic_tax: {
    enabled: true,
  },
  line_items: [
    {
      price: '<<price>>',
      quantity: 1,
    },
  ],
});
```

```python
import stripe
stripe.api_key = "<<secret key>>"

payment_link = stripe.PaymentLink.create(
  automatic_tax={"enabled": True},
  line_items=[{"price": "<<price>>", "quantity": 1}],
)
```

```php
$stripe = new \Stripe\StripeClient('<<secret key>>');

$paymentLink = $stripe->paymentLinks->create([
  'automatic_tax' => ['enabled' => true],
  'line_items' => [
    [
      'price' => '<<price>>',
      'quantity' => 1,
    ],
  ],
]);
```

```ruby
Stripe.api_key = '<<secret key>>'

payment_link = Stripe::PaymentLink.create({
  automatic_tax: {enabled: true},
  line_items: [
    {
      price: '<<price>>',
      quantity: 1,
    },
  ],
})
```

To update an existing payment link in the API, pass the `automatic_tax[enabled]` parameter to the [Payment Link API](https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment-link/update.md) endpoint:

```dotnet
StripeConfiguration.ApiKey = "<<secret key>>";

var options = new PaymentLinkUpdateOptions
{
    AutomaticTax = new PaymentLinkAutomaticTaxOptions { Enabled = true },
};
var service = new PaymentLinkService();
PaymentLink paymentLink = service.Update("<<paymentLink>>", options);
```

```go
stripe.Key = "<<secret key>>"

params := &stripe.PaymentLinkParams{
  AutomaticTax: &stripe.PaymentLinkAutomaticTaxParams{Enabled: stripe.Bool(true)},
};
result, err := paymentlink.Update("<<paymentLink>>", params);
```

```java
Stripe.apiKey = "<<secret key>>";

PaymentLink resource = PaymentLink.retrieve("<<paymentLink>>");

PaymentLinkUpdateParams params =
  PaymentLinkUpdateParams.builder()
    .setAutomaticTax(PaymentLinkUpdateParams.AutomaticTax.builder().setEnabled(true).build())
    .build();

PaymentLink paymentLink = resource.update(params);
```

```node
const stripe = require('stripe')('<<secret key>>');

const paymentLink = await stripe.paymentLinks.update(
  '<<paymentLink>>',
  {
    automatic_tax: {
      enabled: true,
    },
  }
);
```

```python
import stripe
stripe.api_key = "<<secret key>>"

payment_link = stripe.PaymentLink.modify(
  "<<paymentLink>>",
  automatic_tax={"enabled": True},
)
```

```php
$stripe = new \Stripe\StripeClient('<<secret key>>');

$paymentLink = $stripe->paymentLinks->update(
  '<<paymentLink>>',
  ['automatic_tax' => ['enabled' => true]]
);
```

```ruby
Stripe.api_key = '<<secret key>>'

payment_link = Stripe::PaymentLink.update('<<paymentLink>>', {automatic_tax: {enabled: true}})
```

## Update your products and prices

Stripe Tax uses information stored on *products* and *prices* to calculate tax, such as *tax code* and *tax behavior*. If you don’t explicitly specify these configurations, Stripe Tax will use the default tax code selected in [Tax Settings](https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/tax).

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