Hello
Stripe Elements do not support Collecting Tax IDs by default. You would need to add your own fields to collect this info.

The feature you linked is only supported by Stripe Checkout

Hi, oh man

#

hmm why is that?

#

is there a built in way to add new fields that look nice and fit in with the stripe checkout form?

#

and if/when we collect the tax id field ourselves, where do we store it, and when in the payment flow do we save it to ensure it shows up on the invoice?

Not sure why we haven't added support for this on Elements yet. I suspect we just haven't got to it. Stripe Checkout is more of what Stripe believes the Checkout flow should look like.

Stripe Elements are less controlled and mostly rely on the merchant/developer to integrate as they seem fit. There's no built in way to add more fields as such..

If you do collect the tax IDs your self, you can manage them using Tax ID API - https://docs.stripe.com/billing/customer/tax-ids?dashboard-or-api=api#managing

echo vale
#

ok gotcha, so stripe elements is not customizable?

#

we just put our own HTML input element beside/below the payment form, hope it looks similar?

can I submit a feature request to permit collecting tax ids using stripe elements, like you do in checkout?

hmm thats not what I meant lol

#

you work for stripe, I've told you. feel free to ignore if you want I guess

#

I don't like talking to Stripe support about payment elements, I don't think they acknowledge it exists

#

The reason I suggested writing in is because sometimes folks want to check in and see if there was any progress made, in which case above is helpful.

I'll be filing a feature request for this in parallel regardless 🙂

yeah that sounds painful
