hi there, if you're just getting started I'd recommend checking out our quickstart guides https://docs.stripe.com/checkout/quickstart

for shipping and VAT calculation, you can look into the following docs:
https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkout/custom-shipping-options?payment-ui=embedded-form
https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkout/taxes

Ah, so it's not possible to just give stripe checkout a list of shipping costs, and have it add the cost in addition to the product, after the user selects the country inside the checkout UI? I have to implement that in the UX of my own website?

[simple ridge]

if you want to manually specify shipping costs, you can do that https://docs.stripe.com/payments/during-payment/charge-shipping

however this only supports a fixed shipping rate for the entire order

But that won't work for different countries, right? Like, if I want to set one rate for US, another for EU, another one for UK? Shipping costs is for things like "standard, express, and overnight", and it wouldn't make sense to use this UI to show "UK, US, EU, etc"? Because if the user selects their address as in "united states", they'd still be able to see UK/EU pricing options?
