hey there! the Payment Element identifies the country based on the card number entered - setting the locale affects the language, but doesn't affect the country-specific validation
prisma heath
Oh okay but what are the conditions that pre-select the country at the time the user haven't entered any information about the credit card? 🤔
vernal bronze
Just running a quick test to confirm
prisma heath
Okay, waiting for your answer 🙏
vernal bronze
it's not possible to pre-select a country for the Payment Element, but this may not be relevant depending on what your ultimate goal is
it sounds like what you want is control over which address fields are collected in the Payment Element
the Payment Element is a bit different from our other Elements (Card, Address, etc) in that it only collects a postal code where Stripe's optimisations indicate its impactful for conversion, so it's not just dependent on the country
if your goal is to control which address fields are collected may be worth looking into using the Address Element so you can always collect the customer's full address on the checkout page: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/advanced/collect-addresses?payment-ui=elements

It was more my product manager that was asking why it was always "France" pre-selected, she wants to know why it's not "UK" when my domain name finish with .co.uk
Because a UK user in our website is less likely to have a french credit card

👋 Hi there! I'm taking over for my colleague. Let me catch up
The country initially shown in the Payment Element is based on the country associated with the IP address of the customer
prisma heath
Oh okay thank you 😃 I'll tell this to my product manager
Perfect, she's fine with that answer 😃
half iris
Great. Is there anything else we can help with?
prisma heath
Not for now, maybe later, thanks 😃
half iris
Alright, great! We'll be here 😄
