Hi there!

#

Are you asking why Payment Element isn't asking for each piece of the BillingDetails that you have set to auto above?

Welcome @thorny pasture

No the fields not displayed!

#

I expect to see name, phone...

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying.

#

So with Payment Element we collect the minimum necessary billing details from the customer. There isn't actually a way to force collection with Payment Element for the fields like name and phone if a "card" payment method is selected.

#

In this case you would collect name/phone yourself if you always want to collect it.

then, why the API mentions it!

Because it gives you the ability to set never

@honest shale, to clarify: auto means "we will collect the info if the payment method selected requires it, in order to minimize the number of fields we force the user to fill in. As @thorny pasture said, there's no way to force collection of this information.
