The payment intent charge.billingaddress has the buyers country in it, but we're hoping this is somehow possible to discover before the payment is taken

Hello there

Howdy!

When you say "Payment Requests", do you mean Payment Request Button?
naive dove
yes
final holly
Gotcha, before we dive into that, is there a reason you are using Payment Request Button instead of Express Checkout Element (https://docs.stripe.com/elements/express-checkout-element) ? Payment Request Button is actually our legacy wallets Element now.
final holly
Gotcha, have you already integrated?
naive dove
I've just about finished it yes, is it better to use Express Checkout Element?
We have no need to accept Paypal for now as we have our own custom integration for that

I'd recommend using Express Checkout Element, yes. It has better/more functionality. But up to you as Payment Request Button is also still supported. In both cases, what you want to do is actually inspect the PaymentMethod for the country before you actually confirm the PaymentIntent.
So with Payment Request Button you want to take the ev.paymentMethod.id and pass it to your backend
That will show you the full details of the card, and you can then dictate what you set on your PaymentIntent (either via creating it at that point, or updating it) before confirming it.

That's awesome thank you!

This will work great thank you for the help and advice
