Setting up your billing details
Enter your legal name, address and VAT or tax ID in the Stripe customer portal, and see which billing settings live in Raal instead.
Raal uses Stripe to manage billing identity and tax information.
From the Raal portal you launch into the Stripe customer portal, fill in the details there, and they sync back to Raal.
What you'll need
Legal company name (the name on your invoices).
Business address, including the country.
VAT or tax ID (if your jurisdiction requires it).
A payment card, unless you pay by bank transfer.
The country is the one field the portal genuinely depends on: it decides the tax applied to your orders.
Steps
In Raal, go to Settings > Billing.
Click Edit billing information. This takes you to Stripe's secure customer portal.
In Stripe, edit Billing information for your legal name, address and tax ID, and add or replace a card if you pay by card.
Save in Stripe, then return to Raal.
Your changes apply to subsequent orders and invoices immediately.
What is not set in Stripe
Several billing settings live in the Raal portal rather than in Stripe, on the same Settings > Billing page:
Who receives invoices: one main address plus up to 5 copies.
How you pay: card on file, or bank transfer by invoice.
Enable one-time cards for checkout.
OPS cost display on invoices and in the portal.
All four are explained in Your billing settings explained.
Why Stripe handles it
Stripe is PCI-compliant and is already the system of record for your payment methods and invoices. Keeping a single source for billing identity avoids drift between Raal's records and what's printed on your invoices.
Common situations
Adding a VAT ID changes the tax on my invoices: yes. If you add a valid EU VAT ID, the reverse-charge rule applies on cross-border B2B sales within the EU, and VAT is removed from your invoices. Stripe recalculates the tax amount at the time of charge.
Different billing address than shipping: that's fine. Billing address (legal entity) is separate from collection and delivery addresses on each order.
