Export transactions require a customer name and address - Stripe Error

Question

I'm using stripe SDK for creating customers & charge to a customer using API, but getting an error with "Fatal error: Uncaught (Status 400) (Request req_ZyqUtykjUcOqrU) As per Indian regulations, export transactions require a customer name and address. More info here: https://stripe.com/docs/india-exports thrown in /opt/lampp/htdocs/stripe/lib/Exception/ApiErrorException.php on line 38"

My code is like below:

\Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey(STRIPE_API_KEY); 


$customer = \Stripe\Customer::create(array( 
        'name' => 'test',
        'description' => 'test description',        
        'email' => $email, 
        'source'  => $token 
));
$orderID = strtoupper(str_replace('.','',uniqid('', true))); 

$charge = \Stripe\Charge::create(array( 
        'customer' => $customer->id, 
        //'source' => 'rtest',
        'amount'   => $itemPrice, 
        'currency' => $currency, 
        'description' => $itemName, 
        'metadata' => array( 
            'order_id' => $orderID 
        ) 
    )); 

Solution 1

As your error suggested you need to pass address object in stripe customer create API as per below example

$customer = \Stripe\Customer::create(array(
    'name' => 'test',
    'description' => 'test description',
    'email' => $email,
    'source' => $token,
    "address" => ["city" => $city, "country" => $country, "line1" => $address, "line2" => "", "postal_code" => $zipCode, "state" => $state]
));

Note: line1 is required in address object

Solution 2

change the currency to INR from USD

i was working on Node & React this helps me

currency: 'INR'

this will fix your problem probably.

Solution 3

Even I was facing the same issue.

Just make sure you are putting the same currency.

For example: if you have mentioned india as your country then put "inr" else "usd" use this for your reference:

    customer=stripe.Customer.create(
        email=request.POST["email"],
        name=request.POST["nickname"],
        source=request.POST["stripeToken"],
        )
        customer=stripe.Customer.modify(
            customer.id,
            address={"city":"mumbai","country":"india","line1":"unr","line2":"thane","postal_code":"421005","state":"maharashtra"},
        )
        charge=stripe.Charge.create(
        customer=customer,
        amount=500,
        currency='inr',
        description="payment"
        )

Solution 4

i had this issue in stripe nodejs i fixed it by passing address

const stripeAddress: Stripe.AddressParam = {
        line1: userAddress.street1,
        line2: userAddress.street2,
        city: userAddress.city,
        country: userAddress.country,
        postal_code: userAddress.zip,
        state: userAddress.state,
      };




 const stripeCustomer: Stripe.Customer = await this.stripe.customers.create(
    {
      name: userData.name,
      description: userData.description,
      email: userData.email,
      phone: userData.phoneNumber,
      address: stripeAddress,
    }
  );

where is this → '$address'?

[Frank]

@beginner115 it's an array. Reference: stripe.com/docs/india-exports#export-of-services

How to add the test address?

[Marjeta]

Please use `` to indicate code, for example `customer=stripe.Customer...`, which then displays as customer=stripe.Customer... If you have a block of code, then separate the code with at least one empty line, and indent the code by 4 spaces.

stripe is not for INR only please guide someone in correct direction

[Govind Kumar Thakur]

sir, for indian cutomer stripe developer had made some changes so you can credit the user in term of INR and build your own logic to convert into other currency hope this will help you.
