thank you~! please let me know if you have questions

What country is Jersey/JE2 3QE a part of if not GB/UK?
frigid storm
it's complicated british colonialism stuff, but Jersey is its own country
You can see Google Pay recognizes it separately
ripe obsidian
Okay so you would expect us to
- Reject that postal code with United Kingdom
- Have Jersey as a separate country
It's tricky when those things change "recently" for sure
frigid storm
Well, I would expect 1. certainly, but I don't think 2 is an issue, I believe you do support Jersey as a separate country, lemme check rq. Jersey has it's own ISO 3166 code "JE", and it's been its own country since Stripe's founding
ripe obsidian
ah yes you're right we do #2 already
also why the heck do we clear the form when you change countries
but yeah okay I do think this is a bug too (+ what I just found because it'd be annoying for a Jersey resident to realize they need to fix the country and then have it half cleared)
frigid storm
Yeah, i imagine this is a very low traffic issue (i think this is our second jersey customer ever), but it raised a lot of alarm bells and I was surprised when the AddressElement just let you check out with an incorrect postal code
ripe obsidian
yeah those are hard to detect for us too unless someone raises it so I appreciate the flag!
frigid storm
awesome! thank you! anything else you need from me? should I check here for an update? (again low priority issue just wanted to flag)
ripe obsidian
Next step is likely to contact our support team: https://support.stripe.com/contact and mention this issue + this Discord thread and they can help follow up with you once it's fixed (but might take a while)
frigid storm
Great, will do, for now we'll just block JE, GY, and IM postcodes on our UK checkout. thanks!
