Hi
paper ridge
This is the purchasing as a business checkbox that i am referring too, as well as the VAT and business name fields. These are the things i want to make mandatory to be filled somehow
nocturne acorn
When creating a Checkout you can just specify to collect the VAT or not, but not making it mandatory:
https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-tax_id_collection
One workaround, is to configure a custom_field for your Checkout Sesison and make it mandatory:
https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-custom_fields-optional
paper ridge
hmm okay so it is not possible to have anything more than what i have already implemented with the checkbox etc
Can i have the fields appear in the checkout without the checkbox? So that they are more clear during checkout. Or do i have to have the checkbox at all times first to be clicked, and then the fields appear?

Can i have the fields appear in the checkout without the checkbox?
Yes, when you use custom field you get the field directly
paper ridge
and if i create a custom field in my checkout and collect the VAT that way, can i map the value of the input field to the VAT ID of Stripe?
and skip the checkbox entirely i mean
so i can have it then be mandatory
nocturne acorn
Yes you can update the Customer's tax Id and map it with the field you collected by the Checkout Custom field:
https://docs.stripe.com/api/customers/object#customer_object-tax_ids
paper ridge
great, thank you!!
a final question, if i were to collect tax ids from different countries using a custom field. Would i need to have a different field for each country or a different field specifying the country along with the one that is for the VAT ID input?
nocturne acorn
No, consider custom fields as a field for any type of Data there is no correlation actually...
