Hi there, are you asking whether you can get the location info of the customer?

For one-time payments, use the checkout.session.completed event.

For subscription payments, use the checkout.session.completed event only for the first payment, and use the invoice.paid webhook event for re-payments in the next subscription cycle.

Hi there, are you asking whether you can get the location info of the customer?

=> I want to know the country code that applies when I charge taxes.

Are you asking how the tax is calculated?

https://docs.stripe.com/tax/calculating tax calculating is complicated. It's not just the customer's location, the seller's location and many other factors can be invovled.

[fair summit]

So how do I know the customer's country code at the time of the payment through the API?

[graceful thicket]

Let me see if the API surfaces this information

No, there's no API to retrieve the customer's location or country code at the time of the payment was made

[fair summit]

Doesn't Stripe collect the country code at the point of checkout internally, even for fraud detection? I don't understand why I can't get this.

[graceful thicket]

Yes Stripe collects the IP address, but this info isn't returned in API.

But you can get the customer's billing address through API.
