hi! yeah that feature is US-only (https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkout/promotional-emails-consent)
a possible solution might be building your own logic where you send the customer an email(if you collect their email outside of Checkout first) if the CheckoutSession you create for them has not been paid (you didn't receieve a webhook) after a certain period of time

I don't collect the emails outside of checkout, is there a possible hook to get the email input and attach it as metadata for session so i can send the email myself?
thorny moth
no there is not
red stirrup
Seems dumb to ask for a email and then redirect to checkout after that
Are my only options that i switch to Stripe Elements or completely switch out Stripe to something else????
thorny moth
I suppose the options are
1- workaround like I mentioned
2- use a more bespoke integration like Elements where you can more directly control the flow and collect info and detect abandonment
3- write to support to express interest in that feature being made available in your country (I'll also capture the demand on my side)
