when i create checkout I get this error "StripeInvalidRequestError: Automatic tax calculation in Checkout requires a valid address on the Customer. Add a valid address to the Customer or set either customer_update[address] to 'auto' or customer_update[shipping] to 'auto' to save the address entered in Checkout to the Customer."

Can you share the request ID (req_xxx) where you faced this error? Here’s how you can find it: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request
serene wave
sure
req_AxeNHNz44U6LmJ
the error does not make sense
although the customer may not have address but i am passing "customer_update": {
"shipping": "auto"
},
"automatic_tax": {
"enabled": "true"
},

Can you also add to enable shipping_address_collection to check if it works? For example:
shipping_address_collection: {
allowed_countries: ['US'],
},
trying
still same error
req_s2PmJJVDkpozRy
StripeInvalidRequestError: Automatic tax calculation uses fields saved on the Customer. To collect a shipping address with automatic_tax enabled, set customer_update[shipping] to 'auto' to save the shipping address back to the Customer.
scratching my head over this for 2 days

Let me double check and get back to you

Oh wait! I noticed your request set to customer_update.address=auto instead of customer_update.shipping=auto in https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_s2PmJJVDkpozRy
Can you try setting to customer_update.shipping instead?
serene wave
it worked with customer_update.shipping
i think the stripe needs to update docs that says : shipping_address_collection field is rrequired for automatic_tax collection?
karmic zealot
Thanks for sharing! The code example has shipping_address_collection, but it doesn't mention about it explicitly
serene wave
right
also why not address instead of shipping address, as a sass product there is no shipping needed but we are asking customers for shipping address 🤔
karmic zealot
There are a few types of addresses such as billing and shipping addresses. Stripe Tax uses shipping address to determine the tax on the customer.

ah! makes sense from stripe's pov but still a little odd for us
one last question:
if the user is from AS: American Samoa
CC: Cocos (Keeling) Islands
CX: Christmas Island
CU: Cuba
FM: Federated States of Micronesia
HM: Heard Island and McDonald Islands
IR: Iran (Islamic Republic of)
KP: Democratic People's Republic of Korea
MH: Marshall Islands
MP: Northern Mariana Islands
NF: Norfolk Island
PW: Palau
SD: Sudan
SY: Syrian Arab Republic
UM: United States Minor Outlying Islands
VI: Virgin Islands (U.S.)
stripe does not automatic tax or it does not support tax itself?
shipping_address_collection.allowed_countries
REQUIRED
An array of two-letter ISO country codes representing which countries Checkout should provide as options for shipping locations. Unsupported country codes: AS, CX, CC, CU, HM, IR, KP, MH, FM, NF, MP, PW, SD, SY, UM, VI.
