⏱️ We close idle threads, which makes them read-only. Once a thread is closed it won't be reopened, but you can always start a new thread if you have another question.
🔗 This thread will always be available, even after it's closed. You can find it again using Discord's search, or you can save this link: https://discord.com/channels/841573134531821608/1422952379904561246

this doesn't seem to enforce making sure the customer address is actually filled (it only makes it available):
Stripe doesn't support payment links with usage-based subscriptions. That's why we went with the billing portal -
What's the best way to enforce collection of the billing address for the customer?
golden cobalt
Yeah you can't force billing address collection in the portal
Any reason you don't want to use Stripe Checkout?
Is it just that you want a fully no-code integration?
waxen lynx
Just wanted an almost no-code integration, yes - but willing to consider adding Stripe Checkout. Is this the correct page to use to set up a new Checkout session? https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create

Ok, let me give that a quick shot right now. Can we keep this discord thread open until I am able to verify? I might have additional questions.
golden cobalt
We archive threads after some inactivity because we get many threads
So depends on how long you take
If it's going to be longer than 45 mins or so it'll probably be archived
But you can always just open a new thread if you have more questions

Sounds good! Thank you. Should just take the next 5-10 minutes, but I'll open a new one if this get's archived and I am running into issues.
Does this look like the correct way to do it?
How do I force collection of address for non-card payment methods?

Yes, I tried that. It collects the billing address when I input a CC, but then when I look at the customer in dashboard (as admin) or in the billing portal (as a customer), the customer address is not set.
