You'd probably use the API
thorn lance
can i ask for example incorrect postal code?
small grove
i.e. create a Customer without a valid address and pass tax[validate_location]: 'immediately: https://docs.stripe.com/api/customers/create#create_customer-tax-validate_location
small grove
can i ask for example incorrect postal code?
I would guess anything would work as the API doesn't validate those strings for correctness
thorn lance
😲
So i can create customer with param given above tax[validate_location]: 'immediately and wrong tax location
i.e address.country USA address.postalCode NotExisting
and i won't get error?
small grove
No, you should get the error. That is what you asked for:
How can i create customer to get that error
We validate the address meets our tax requirements: https://docs.stripe.com/tax/customer-locations
If you tell us to
thorn lance
ye, but then i asked about incorrect tax location example, and You said that anything will work
small grove
Yes, if you aren't validating the address for tax purposes then any string is valid for an address
But if you want to validate the address for automatic tax computation, and it doesn't meet the requirements, you'll get the error. Try it, you'll see
thorn lance
oh i see, got it now, Thanks for all the help!
so if i pass:
address.Country = USA
address.state = not existing
with param tax[validate_location]: 'immediately
i should get error instantly right?
small grove
Yes that is my understanding
thorn lance
thanks. Have great day

(as country: 'USA' is invalid – we require two-letter codes, so us)
Plus, US needs at least the country and postal code: https://docs.stripe.com/tax/customer-locations#supported-formats
