thanks for the request ID, looking

#

looks like that's some location in Alaska and maybe Stripe Tax isn't able to map the IP to a specific enough region. As this doc describes in the table: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/taxes/collect-taxes?tax-calculation=stripe-tax#create-a-customer

unrecognized_location - The address isn’t valid for determining a tax location.     

Ask customer for an updated address and set customer.address to the new value.

#

so you'd need to ask for a more specific address to handle this scenario

Ok, thank you

#

I am calling '/v1/customers' to create the customer. Is there a way to determine if tax location is valid based on the reponse form that call?

#

no, the tax validation happens after the request has been made to Stripe so no way to know ahead of time afaik

Ok, what about after the customer is created. Is there a way to check that the location is valid or not?
