Hi there, https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-customer the doc says the customer’s most recent card payment method will be used to prefill the email, name, card details, and billing address on the Checkout page
It doesn't mean that these info are required for prefill.

and it also says:

A valid billing address, billing name and billing email are required on the payment method for Checkout to prefill the customer’s card details.

#

while I was testing this I needed to update billing address details before payment method was prefiled

That's in subscription mode.

#

yes for subscription mode, sorry if I was a bit unclear above

Ah sorry I must miss out this.

Yes you can use the API to update the payment method's billing_details (https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_methods/update#update_payment_method-billing_details)

as I said we have customer billing address details which we can use to update their billing detail information on stripe using api as you suggested

Our address data is not clean - specifically, we do not have zip/postcodes stored as separate fields and sometimes data is missing, so we are thinking of filling it with geocoded zip/postcodes. Will this work? We are worried that attaching a potentially unmatching zip code to a payment method might make the method invalid or cause issues in charging the method?
