You are creating a PaymentElement, but you are listening to a Checkout Session Event ?
What guide are you following exactly? to better understand your flow
Between, the stripeCheckout.on('change', (session) => { shouldn't be paymentElement.on('change', (event) => { ?
In all cases, you should use Address Element in order to recompute the Tax, you can't achieve that with just the PaymentElement

We don´t want to use the Address Element because we don´t need the full address of the customer. Only the bare minimum for the tax calculation.
I started on this page here: https://docs.stripe.com/checkout/custom/quickstart?lang=python

Unfortunately, you'll need to have Address Element for this with PaymentElement
delicate quartz
Oh, ok. We also tried (according to the docs) to set only the country manually with updateBillingAddress().
This is working to calculate the tax. But in this case we would need then our own dropdown list with (supported) countries I think.
Is this an alternative? And is there a way to get a country list somewhere in the library? I couldn´t found yet
The thing is, in the managed checkout hosted by stripe it works somehow. We have the country/address collection in the payment section and it also calculates the tax on the left correctly.

Yeah I think that could be a workaround indeed

Stripe SDK doesn't expose a list of country, you can search in the community or hard code the list somewhere in the code
delicate quartz
Ok thanks 🙂
I guess we have then only these 2 options?
- use billingAddessElement and collect full address
- implement own country selection
frosty crater
Yes exactly 👌
delicate quartz
alright, thank you 👍
