Do Stripe and TaxID need an API key?

Both ask you to authenticate — Stripe uses an API key and TaxID uses an API key. Each key is free to obtain; the Auth and Card-required rows above spell out the signup terms.

Can I call Stripe and TaxID from the browser?

Neither sends browser-friendly CORS headers reliably, so call Stripe and TaxID from a server or proxy rather than client-side. The CORS and HTTPS rows above show exactly what we detected for each.

Are Stripe and TaxID free for commercial use?

Stripe has unclear commercial terms, and TaxID has unclear commercial terms. We track service terms and the data license as separate fields — see the Commercial use and Data license rows above, and confirm both before shipping either in a paid product.
