How do you deal with taxes? Or how do you help your customers deal with taxes?
If you connect your Stripe account to Kable, you can enable automatic tax calculation in your Stripe dashboard, and invoices generated by Kable will be taxed by Stripe. As we add other payment partners, we will follow the same pattern. In the future, though, we do plan to add the option to calculate taxes directly within Kable.

This is a very webflow website
Congrats on the launch. Very appealing product. I thought RapidAPI.com would be a direct competitor, but their site changed a lot. Have they pivoted from monetizing an API, directly? If so, then I'd definitely keep Kable on my radar.
Kable is infrastructure for API companies, brands, and larger projects. You wouldn't find Twilio's SMS API in RapidAPI's marketplace, nor would you find many of today's hottest new API-first companies. Kable's mission is to help those companies launch quickly and scale.

RapidAPI does offer some of the tools that Kable offers. And if you're looking to monetize a single REST endpoint, RapidAPI is probably the right tool for the job.

Personally, yes, I'm much more aligned with Kable value proposition. It solves pain points I have today and by experience (authentication schemes, how to throttle calls, how to monitor etc).

As of today, Kable relies on our payment partners to calculate tax. If you connect your Stripe account to Kable, you can enable automatic tax calculation in your Stripe dashboard, and invoices generated by Kable will be taxed by Stripe.

I see. Stripe actually does not help with taxes at all. All the work is left for users to figure out, configure and file.
Kable uses Stripe's Invoice API directly (we don't create Stripe subscriptions which would cost an extra 0.5%). You can set up Stripe Tax to work with Invoices, and I believe most of what you'd want happens automatically.
I may be wrong though -- please let me know if you've had a different experience!
