to add, we recently had a subscriber use the address for gym as their billing address. We'd like to verify the address to avoid such situations.

Hello! What specifically are you trying to validate? Can you give me some more details?

Specifically, if possible, i wanted to see if we could add a zipcode check on their billing address.
but also, if we could verify the billing address, zip, and cvv check, it would help us reduce fake accounts

Hey i do not know if this is useful for you but i saw a thread about this earlier and they said you need to do zip code checks externally

@fathom oak how are you collecting card details exactly in your integration?
fathom oak
we are using setup intent to save a customer's payment information (card and address). We then issue monthly invoices for them to pay. Our customers are all on monthly recurring subscriptions.
is it possible to run these checks when we save a customers information initially?

I do not think so, again i saw a thread about this today and the employee said everything of billing adress checks has to be done externally.

@fathom oak when you confirm the SetupIntent, we will save/attach the card details to the Customer. We might run a card authorization with the bank but it's never guaranteed. After the SetupIntent succeeds you can look at the SetupAttempt associated with it and it will have detailed information about the checks we ran (if any) https://stripe.com/docs/api/setup_attempts/object#setup_attempt_object-payment_method_details-card-checks

thanks! is there a way to gurantee the postal code and address checks? Anything we need to enable in the API?
drowsy swift
no that's impossible to do
One alternative would be a paid trial where you collect a payment upfront to guarantee we talk to the bank. But many banks won't really check address details anyways. Just postal code checks is rare outside of a few countries

Got it. What about enabling radar for setup intents? What’s the difference there
