Hi bismarck

#

How are you collecting payment method details?

dusk surge Apr 24, 2023, 5:58 PM

#

we use Stripe Payment element

#

(js)

#

Gotcha then yeah for Card payments Country is required

#

Thank you

#

Sure

#

if we were "hand rolling" a custom form would this requirement not exist?

#

If by "hand rolling" you mean collecting raw card details yourself, then that's correct. "Address" isn't required per-say, but we highly recommend collecting country/postal as it makes a huge difference for your conversion and that is why Payment Element requires it.

#

If you used our legacy Card Element and really didn't want to collect postal code then you could also disable that. See: https://stripe.com/docs/js/elements_object/create_element?type=card#elements_create-options-hidePostalCode

#

But mostly you shouldn't do that

#

And you should just trust us and let us collect the things we know are best 🙂

yeah, we're going to continue to use payment element. we allow our users configurability over a payment form that gets published on their behalf, and just trying to understand constraints for form field optionality. Thanks again!
