Here's the stripe docs - it even says india requires postal

#

You can see united states & canada also require it: the payment element asks for the zip in these cases.

Using a payment element, with an indian card specifically, causes tax calculations to fail (no other country has this issue)
Could you clarify where do you actually see the error? Any request id? (req_xxx)

#

The PaymentElements is designed for successful transaction, not specifically for tax as well.

Yeah i understand that but there doesn't appear to be a workaround either

#

Of course I don't want to render an address element every time because of one edge case. So i'd have to detect if the card being entered is India

#

Let me get an error request

Hi there, I'm stepping in for my colleague. Have you thought about using our Embedded Components? It still utilises Stripe Elements, but it can assist with the issue you're facing—collecting relevant tax details—by also integrating Checkout Sessions.

https://docs.stripe.com/payments/accept-a-payment?platform=web&ui=embedded-components

Accept a payment

Securely accept payments online.

Hmm - does it support confirmation tokens? (i dont see it mentioned on the page)

#

The reason i went with payment elements is because i confirm the payment server side

#

Let me just check on this. Give me a moment.

Thanks for waiting! You cannot use confirmation token with checkout. So some possible solutions are:

Option 1: Listen to paymentElement's change event [0], inspect the value in the event. If the billing_details.address.country is IN, you can conditionally render address element or your own UI to collect post code
Option 2: You can inspect the payment method after it's collected. If the country is IN then you can use address element or your own UI to collect post code.

Yeah i'm trying to do option 1, but the onchange value prints undefined when you're entering a card. I attached images of the event.value of a saved card vs when you're filling it out
