I know i can associate an address with a customer but i'm hoping the country+zip on the element is enough

#

https://docs.stripe.com/tax/customer-locations#other It needs the 2 letter country code and the postal code, on all countries

Collect customer addresses

Collect customer address information to enable accurate tax calculations with Stripe Tax. Learn about guidelines for different regions and how to handle address-related errors.

#

And you ned to make sure to set those to your Customer object

#

I would recommend a combination of PaymentElements + AddressElements

#

thorny tulip https://docs.stripe.com/tax/customer-locations#other It needs the 2 letter count...

See these docs are a little confusing because they don't address the Elements case. So you think the address element is necessary too?

thorny tulip Mar 10, 2025, 4:36 AM

#

Yes

#

The ultimate goal is to have 2 letter code country and postal code in your Customer object.

Gotcha thanks

#

I have a couple quick connect questions. Can i put them here or should i open a new thread

thorny tulip Mar 10, 2025, 4:37 AM

#

Feel free to continue here!

turbid gust Mar 10, 2025, 4:38 AM

#

Awesome thanks

https://docs.stripe.com/connect/cross-border-payouts
Would this big list of countries be a burden to support for connected accounts? Like would this bog me down tax-regulation-wise, or something? LMK if i should look to cut the number down, or if im free to include all of them

Cross-border payouts

Transfer and pay out funds to other countries.

#

Hmm which kind of burden do you envision? You should be able to have Connected account in any country in the list there

turbid gust Mar 10, 2025, 4:41 AM

#

Good question, I am just worried because I include everything in the list, and I wonder if I would have edge cases on every country or not

#

Possibly tax burden or something, but i dont know

#

I tested out a couple connected accounts from different countries and it seemed to automatically convert from USD to the local currency, which is good

thorny tulip Mar 10, 2025, 4:43 AM

#

And you are an US platform, right?

turbid gust Mar 10, 2025, 4:43 AM

#

Yes

thorny tulip Mar 10, 2025, 4:43 AM

#

Yeah. As long as your setup satisfy the "Restrictions and requirements" section, it should be good

#

It's either possible or not to do the fund flow. If it's not possible, you will get an error message when trying to create the PaymentIntent or the Transfer

turbid gust Mar 10, 2025, 4:46 AM

#

Thank you i am probably good for that! One last question:

For international customers I dont know whether to charge in USD or switch to the local currency. Remember i am also doing cross border payouts

#

I would prefer charging USD everywhere. But i don't know if that's uncommon.

thorny tulip Mar 10, 2025, 4:56 AM

#

You should charge in USD. Because Cross border payout expects you to be the merchant of record

#

If you charge in a different currency, Stripe will automatically convert the fund to USD, as it's your Stripe account' settlement currency. And then there will be currency conversion
