Hi 👋 no, you cannot suppress the address collection portion of our Address Element.

Ok I guessed as much! The payment element when on it's own asks for country and post code which is fine, is there a way to get the payment element to ask for name?
light rampart
If you want to only collect the name for your cusotmers, I would recommend adding your own field to your form for doing so, and providing the value from that to payment_method_data.billing_details.name when confirming your payment.
No, you can't force the Payment Element to collect a name either.
I'd also recommend making sure you suppress the collection of name in the Payment Element, in case you ever expand to accepting payment method types where we do collect a name. To do so you set fields.billingDetails.name to never when creating the Payment Element:

ah ok thats useful thanks, do you know which payment methods do cause it to capture name?
(is there a list of these optional fields somewhere?)
light rampart
Not all of them offhand, I think bank payments tend to collect it.
We will display a name field if we need to collect it, unless you suppress it with the approach shown above, for the payment to be successful which varies by Payment Method type.

Any time!
