First of all, for some countries I am getting postal code field (USA , UK), is there any specific reason why this is appearing on these countries but not for others?
We only request the minimum fields required in order to increase payment auth rates. In certain countries, card issuers also request/check the ZIP/postal code: https://stripe.com/docs/disputes/prevention/verification#avs-check

Secondly, I can see that the postal code for US has validation if I enter a wrong postal code, but for UK if I enter the value 1 to the field it will accept ?
I don't believe we currently validate UK post codes I'm afraid. Confirming

I understand

[normal prairie]

Ok, yes this postcode validation is a bug that'll we'll hopefully address soon

To confirm, you're not hiding the country field on the Payment Element are you?

[rustic sand]

I am not hiding the country field? am I supposed to ?

[normal prairie]

No, just wanted to confirm the bug reproduction steps

[rustic sand]

this is from the documentation

Address verification (AVS) checks two pieces of information, the postal code and the billing street address. AVS checks determine whether this information matches the billing address on file with the card issuer. Radar includes a rule to block any payments that fail postal code verification, which you can enable or disable within the Dashboard.

If enabled, these address checks can fail on legitimate payments in some situations. For example, a customer entering their address incorrectly or moving and not updating their address with the card issuer could cause the address check to fail.

Support for both types of AVS checks varies by country and card issuer (for example, certain countries don’t use a postal code or some card issuers don’t support street address verification). However, street address verification is commonly supported for cards issued in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

but for example for UK, i only get the postal code showing, I dont get the street field, how would that check work?

[normal prairie]

Yeah, we generally only require postal codes but AVS checks can support other address fields too

As I said, the Payment Element is optimised to request the minimum amount of fields that will have the highest chance of succeeding

[rustic sand]

so you mean either one of these or both

[normal prairie]

For a UK card, by default, it'll only show the postal code field

[rustic sand]

the avs check would work either on postal or street or both, it depeneds on the minimum amount of fields that will have the highest chance of succeeding

[normal prairie]

I'm not sure what you're asking me. What's the actual problem you're trying to solve?

[rustic sand]

I am just questioning things to be honest before going live, we are in the testing phase currently.

Thank you for clarigying these

[normal prairie]

np, let me know if there's anything else I can clarify
