I've tried quite a few things, but the billing address doesn't get pre-filled in the CheckoutSession, I'm creating the customer beforehand, and I'm passing the data somewhat like such

 customer = Customer.create(
                name=workspace.name, email=workspace.billing_email, address=address
            )

where I use line1, postal_code, state and country in address

Of course, I pass the customer.id in the customer= part when creating the CheckoutSession (python btw)

Stripe itself does seem to see it as a valid address when I look at the specific customers themselves btw

Hi there 👋 Checkout Sessions prefill payment method and billing details in very specific scenarios, which are discussd here:
https://docs.stripe.com/payments/accept-a-payment?platform=web&ui=stripe-hosted#handling-existing-customers

Additionally, the allow_redisplay field on the Payment Method, where the billing address details would be pulled from, must also be set accordingly.

I'm specifically looking to prefill in a subscription mode checkout session, so I am unsure whether this fits in this scenario

I'll try though

Gotcha, then you'll want to look at the part of that section that discusses when Checkout Sessions prefill payment method and billing details when the mode is set to subscription.

It seems to only be for pre-filling card details, I am however specifically looking at pre-filling the billing address, which I have stored in a Customer.address beforehand. This, as I already have that information beforehand.

Or maybe I've stored it in the wrong place?

[final canopy]

You can't prefill just billing address.
