Hello

The labels' texts are not customizable
Or are you asking if you can put a placeholder into the Address Element itself for certain fields?
split needle
A bit of both really, The address element at the moment for example doesn't have a placeholder for First name or last name
Also if the label text can't be changed, does it pick up a locale and change the language based on that?
slate raven
Yep the localization happens automatically by IP
split needle
That gives me more peace of mind!
I'm guessing a placeholder option isn't available also then
slate raven
If you want placeholders, then you would set defaultValues when you create your Address Element: https://docs.stripe.com/js/elements_object/create_address_element#address_element_create-options-defaultValues

Ah yes I thought that but this provides a bad UX because they have to backspace the placeholder, no worries thanks for your help looks like the options aren't quite there
slate raven
Ah I see you don't want to pre-fill, you just want a background placeholder
Yeah don't think you can customize the First and last name
That should currently show up
I'll submit a feature request though with that feedback
split needle
Thanks, it does seem a bit like something was missed
e.g.
If I choose full for name as per the options
I get a placeholder "First and last name"
If I choose split the place holders are missing from Firstname and Lastname
slate raven
What do you mean by "split"?
split needle
Examples
slate raven
Ah
If you set display.name: split
Interesting yes that does seem to be a miss
I'll file feedback that the placeholder there was left out
split needle
Perfect thanks for that 🙂
slate raven
Thanks for the feedback
