Adds option to automatically validate customer tax location during an update
What’s new
We’re adding auto as an option for tax.validate_location to simplify integrating with Stripe Tax. If you try to update a customer with an unrecognized location after the customer’s tax location is verified, the API returns a 400 validation error. Stripe recommends setting set tax[validate_location]="auto" for all new Stripe Tax integrations. (Currently, this only works for customers with automatic tax-enabled subscriptions.)
To validate customer addresses during collection, set tax[validate_location]="immediately" when you create a customer.
Impact
Helps users of
Billing
and
