Do Not Collect Zip Code with Stripe

Do Not Collect Zip Code with Stripe

Im trying to use Stripe v3 for payment. The guide is here

I do not want to collect the zip code. However I cannot figure out how. My HTML is:

<form>
  <label>
    <div id="card-element" class="field is-empty"></div>
    <span><span>Credit or debit card</span></span>
  </label>
  <button type="submit">Pay</button>
  <div class="outcome">
    <div class="error" role="alert"></div>
    <div class="success">
      Success! Your Stripe token is <span class="token"></span>
    </div>
  </div>
</form>

And javascript is:

var card = elements.create('card', {
  style: {
    hidePostalCode: true,
    base: {
      iconColor: '#666EE8',
      color: '#31325F',
      lineHeight: '40px',
      fontWeight: 300,
      fontFamily: '"Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif',
      fontSize: '15px',

      '::placeholder': {
        color: '#CFD7E0',
      },
    },
  }
});

card.mount('#card-element');

But it always asks for the zip code:

There is a guide to the Element tag here . But I cannot see where I can collect the card number, CVC and card expiry, but NOT the zip code...

Thankfully, this should be a pretty simple fix! hidePostalCode: true should be a top level property in your options, rather than nested under style here.

var card = elements.create('card', {
hidePostalCode: true,
style: {
 base: {
  iconColor: '#666EE8',
  color: '#31325F',
  lineHeight: '40px',
  fontWeight: 300,
  fontFamily: '"Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif',
  fontSize: '15px',

  '::placeholder': {
    color: '#CFD7E0',
   },
  }, 
 } 
});

card.mount('#card-element');

To remove Zip code collection do this in the javascript snippet like this:

 var style = {//styling
              //lots of style stuff
             };
 var card = elements.create('card', {hidePostalCode: true, style: style});

If you directly use CardElement component from '@stripe/react-stripe-js', you can use the component with props.

<CardElement options={{ hidePostalCode: true }}/>
