hi there! why do you need to validate tax ids in your own code?

i have my own website, where i am allowing user to update billing info icluding tax id, which is going to save in stripe, before saving i want to validate it, that user shuld enter correct tax id based on country selection

hmm, Stripe doesn't have any such API to validate it before saving. The easiest method would be to just submit it and let Stripe attempt to validate it

#

but in customer portal, or in stripe dashboard, it validates before saving, can i do the same way, any workaround?

#

or is there any api to get list of tax id types "like AU ABN etc"

#

?

Like my colleague Alex said, there's no specific API for tax ID validation, Stripe will validate it when you update the customer.
