Q: Using UniBee with WishList Member + Stripe | Invoicing & Tax Compliance | Multilingual checkout & emails

Hi!

We’re planning a music portal with memberships, using WishList Member for WordPress including Stripe integration. Can UniBee be used alongside WishList Member to handle invoicing and taxes? Does the website need a direct connection to UniBee, or is Stripe/WishList Member enough? Is integration simple or does it require programming? Do you have experience with WishList Member?

Where does the UniBee checkout happen—does it stay on our website or redirect to UniBee?

Can UniBee monitor regional tax thresholds (e.g. EU or US VAT) and give timely warnings? Can VAT be included in subscription prices?

Does UniBee support full multilingual checkout, emails, and forms, including less common languages? For example, a retired music lover in a small country might abandon a subscription if English checkout instructions confuse her.

Thank you!

A: Hi tidros!

Thanks for such a detailed use case. It sounds like a fantastic project! We understand that for a music portal with a global audience (including non-English speakers and strict EU tax rules), the checkout experience is critical.

Here is how UniBee fits into your stack with WishList Member (WLM) and WordPress:

1. Integration Flow & Invoicing (Crucial Point) To get the full benefit of UniBee’s invoicing and automatic tax compliance, UniBee typically acts as the "Merchant of Record" logic layer on top of your Stripe account.

Recommendation: Instead of using WLM’s native checkout, you would use UniBee’s Checkout.

The Flow: User clicks "Buy" on your WP site -> UniBee Checkout handles the payment & tax calculation -> UniBee sends a signal (via Webhook/Zapier/Pabbly) to WLM -> WLM creates the user/grants access.

Why? This ensures the tax is calculated before the charge is made, guaranteeing your invoices are 100% accurate and compliant.

2. Complexity & Programming

No Coding for Checkout: Creating the checkout page itself is no-code.

Connecting to WLM: While we don't have a native "1-click plugin" strictly for WLM yet, this is standardly handled via Webhooks or integration tools like Zapier/Pabbly Connect. If you are comfortable setting up a simple "If payment successful -> Add user to Level" workflow, no complex programming is required.

3. Checkout Experience

Redirect vs. Stay: We support hosted checkout pages (redirect). This is often the most secure way to handle multi-country tax compliance and payment methods without cluttering your WordPress setup.

UX: The pages are designed to be clean and high-converting.

4. Tax Compliance (EU/US VAT)

Yes! UniBee is designed to handle this. We can automatically calculate tax based on the customer's location.

Inclusive Pricing: Yes, we support Tax-Inclusive Pricing. You can display a flat fee (e.g., €10) to the user, and UniBee will calculate backward to determine how much of that is VAT for your reporting.

Thresholds: We help automate the tax calculation logic so you don't have to manually monitor every threshold daily.

5. Multilingual Support

We support multi-language functionality for both the Checkout Page and the Customer Portal.

Emails: System emails (receipts, subscription updates) can also be localized.

We understand your concern about the "retired music lover"—clarity is key. If a specific niche language isn't on our list, please let us know in our roadmap/community, as we are constantly adding localization support.

Hope this clarifies the workflow! Let us know if you have any other questions.
