👋 Hi there! Let me take a look

There generally isn't much validation that we do when you set/update an address via the API

What sort of validation are you looking for?

If you want to ensure that the address is valid for use with Stripe Tax, you can set tax[validate_location]=immediately when creating or updating a Customer: https://docs.stripe.com/api/customers/update#update_customer-tax

Ok I'll try that

I'm setting up a registration process for a user where he/she needs to have a valid address

Will tax[validate_location]=immediately validate both the shipping and billing address

[regal spindle]

That's a good question. Let me take a quick look

But I'd note that in most countries we just need a valid country code, and perhaps state or postal code, in order to be able to calculate tax correctly. Stripe doesn't do something like validate that a precise street-level address exists in any given country

[regal spindle]

Yeah, it looks like we validate both address and shipping[address] when that option is enabled

Ok good to know thank you
