Hi 👋
Why wouldn't the billing address work for in-store pickup? Or, if the location of the store is what impacts the tax cacluation, could you use the store address as the shipping address?

Hi! The store address will affect the tax calc. Since most US states are destination based tax. So if they are picking up that's the "destinaction". Where, if they ship it home for example, that's the destination.
Yes I certainly can use the store's address as the shipping address. And that's basically what I have. If the customer selects "ship" then it uses their address. If they select "pickup" it uses the stores.
I just wanted to make sure that was the "kosher" way of doing it and I wasn't missing anything. When I look at the logs or the transaction details it says "address_source = shipping". And maybe my OCD is getting to me. I would prefer it to say the source was "pickup_location" or something. But if this is what I have, that's fine, I can work with it.

Yes, given your situation I think that approach is the best one. However, I will also file a feature request to add a pickup_location enum value for address_source parameter https://docs.stripe.com/api/tax/calculations/create#calculate_tax-customer_details-address_source
