hi!

[south berry]

Hello 👋
How can I help?

[wraith magnet]

I'm using custom payment flow in my code, is there a way I can require the customers' email address at the checkout?

[south berry]

Ah so I'm guessing you're using PaymentElement

[wraith magnet]

yes

[south berry]

Fields on the PaymentElement (including email) are shown dynamically (based on if the payment method requires it to succeed)
https://stripe.com/docs/js/elements_object/create_payment_element#payment_element_create-options-fields

So you can't require it all the time. You can however build your own UI and pass in the information with confirmParams
https://stripe.com/docs/js/payment_intents/confirm_payment#confirm_payment_intent-options-confirmParams-payment_method_data-billing_details

[wraith magnet]

So I can't make a system only with stripe, where its requriring email address all the time?

[heady dock]

correct that's not something we support today

okay, thank you!

one more question

if I do ask the email address of a customer with my own code, can I somehow send the receipt to that given email address?
