Hi! Let me help you with this.

Hi Vanya, thank you!

I believe we use the more generic Payment Element but I can check (it's been a while since I implemented it)
split gate
I would appreciate if you could check
torpid garnet
Yes, it's a payment element
const paymentElement = elements.create('payment');
Does that help?
Are you still there, vanya?
split gate
Yes, sorry for delay. Please give me a few moments to check.
torpid garnet
No worries, thanks I appreciate it!

I don't think it's possible, unfortunately. There's a change event that you can listen to, but it only gives your the Payment Method type: https://stripe.com/docs/js/element/events/on_change?type=paymentElement
torpid garnet
Thanks for checking for me. So if I want that data I would basically need to request it twice from the customer - in a form of my own and then as part of the payment element?

You can try using Address Element, but only enabling the postal code: https://stripe.com/docs/elements/address-element
torpid garnet
Thank you. Even with the address element, it would be a different form field than the zip code requested by the Payment element, right?
split gate
If you have an Address Element, it might not be displayed on the Payment Element. It's best to check
torpid garnet
I see, thank you. So if I use the Address Element, I can access the Country and Zipcode via JavaScript unlike the Payment Element?
split gate
Yes

Great! Can you tell me what the syntax should look like / how i would retrieve the values entered into the Address Element on the frontend before it is submitted?

Hi tarzan, thanks for your help!
graceful basin
it's explained here https://stripe.com/docs/elements/address-element/collect-addresses?platform=web#web-retrieve-address
torpid garnet
Terrific, thank you!
To be sure, if I add the Address Element to the page where the Payment Element is, the Country and Zip fields won't be duplicated in the Payment Element?
graceful basin
yes
torpid garnet
Perfect, this should do the trick in that case. Thanks again for your help, tarzan.
