Can you confirm your exact integration? Like how do you initialize PaymentElement?

lunar marsh Apr 1, 2026, 10:26 PM

#

Yup! fields: { billingDetails: { address: 'never' } },

#

Apple Pay doesn't require fields it shouldn't error out when we select Apply Pay and call await stripe.createConfirmationToken

#

Or as another option can I pull the billingDetails from an event similar to how express pay works?

Having a look but will take some time

vernal otter Apr 1, 2026, 10:46 PM

#

Okay sorry took a while to reproduce. I forgot I was forcing the country on confirmationToken creation in the first place 🤦‍♂️

#

So really this is expected. If you tell us "never collect country" then we expect you to collect it first and pass it.

#

My guess is that the best approach here would be to split ApplePay/GooglePay out of PaymentElement using ExpressCheckoutElement instead

Bummer

#

Yeah we have ExpressCheckout in Chrome but the radio buttons tested better in Safari / FireFox without express pay.

#

Does if_required hide everything in the card section? I can test real quick too.

#

oh wow you're righjt

#

I completely forgot we shipped that weird address is either a hash or an enum and that does work

lunar marsh Apr 1, 2026, 10:52 PM

#

Ok let me try

#

How does if_required work exactly?

#

I mean where does it check in the configuration when I set address: 'if_required'?

vernal otter Apr 1, 2026, 11:08 PM

#

it's when you initialize Elements. Not sure I understand the question though

lunar marsh Apr 1, 2026, 11:12 PM

#

Yeah this is looking really good

#

Specify if_required to only collect the minimum billing address fields required to complete the payment. You can omit and hide optional address fields in the card form, such as country and postal code.

#

Let me test both ways

#

Thanks for the help I might disappear I think if_required might have solved it!
