When you create the Payment Method using the Card Element (https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-card-payments?platform=web&ui=elements#set-up-stripe-elements), the billing zipcode will be attached. You can use that to look up the country if needed.

Sorry don't understand. Do u suggest me to add zip code field?
shy harbor
Zipcode is required for card payments. The Card Element is from stripe.js and is used to collect card details. The Card Element collects zipcode automatically.
delicate ocean
I think we use this one (without zip code)
And if so - how could we grab zip code value with stripe.js?
shy harbor
It is sent back when the payment method is confirmed
delicate ocean
Back to where
Could u please give a link to stripe.js API doc. How could i get country or zip code
shy harbor
You have the doc that would show you that. There is no doc that shows exactly how to get the zipcode, as it is returned when the payment method is confirmed. I would recommend following that guide to build an integration that accepts a card payment first then come back here if you have more questions
delicate ocean
We already have app that successfully accept payments
Could u please write instruction what i need to do to know card country
I see change event
But how with it -get zip code?
shy harbor
It is on the Payment Method. You retrieve it via this field after the payment method is created: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_methods/object#payment_method_object-billing_details-address-postal_code
delicate ocean
We use only
<PaymentElement
onReady={() => {
setLoading(false)
}}
/>
So we use "card" Payment Method
Maybe i need to say that we use custom payments with stripe.js
shy harbor
When in the payment flow do you need zipcode?
shy harbor
That's not helpful
I asked:
When in the payment flow do you need zipcode?
Why can't you simply retrieve the Payment Method after it is created?
delicate ocean
We don't need it at all
shy harbor
Don't need what?
delicate ocean
We don't use Payment Method at all too
delicate ocean
Don't need what?
Zip code
shy harbor
Okay, but country is also on the Payment Method
So what's the problem with retrieving the Payment Method after it is created?
delicate ocean
I don't understand how to retrieveing Payment Method
So i need Payment Method Id. How could i get it from "PaymentElement" form?
shy harbor
You can't. The payment element is used to create a payment method. You have to create the payment method for there to be a payment method id.
delicate ocean
ok, the method is not suitable for us
we don't need to create payment method
how else we can get payment card country?
delicate ocean
My first message
"Hello. I need to calculate Stripe fee, before payment. I see that i need to know country of payment card to understand which price to use"
shy harbor
Yes, but how are you calculating fees before a payment is created?
What use is the country to you?
delicate ocean
With formulas
2.9% for not Europe cards
So i need get card country to understand which fee to apply
shy harbor
So, you will need to create the Payment Method, in order to know what country the customer's fees are going to be tied to. The fees are dependent on the Payment Method's billing_details. If you don't have a Payment Method, you don't know what country the payment fees are going to come from.
delicate ocean
Does stripe generate billing_details by card number?
I know that it is possible to know card country by its first 8 numbers
shy harbor
In the PaymentElement, there is no way to get the Payment Method billing_details until after the payment is completed. You will need to use the Card Element in order to get the country details from the Payment Method before the actual payment is complete: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/card-element
shy harbor
Does stripe generate billing_details by card number?
No
shy harbor
I know that it is possible to know card country by its first 8 numbers
No
The customer enters their billing zipcode or their full billing address when the Payment Method is created
That's where that data comes from
The Payment Element does everything at once, so there's no way to extract that info before the payment is made
