Thank you sir! Just started using Stripe in a project and this information has been incredibly helpful. Will have to experiment with some of the tools illustrated but this video has been a great overview to kick off from. Much appreciated!
The CLI is helpful for working with webhooks. Previously I configured the webhook endpoint on the stripe website directly, but that meant i had to do some port-forwarding on my router. Plus, moving to another network was a pain too. Would require all that port forwarding config again. As I saw in the video, with the CLI can simply point to localhost. Will check it out for sure. Thanks
Hey Ryan-great question! Currently, the Stripe Checkout API does not provide a direct option to restrict shipping to specific states. Keep in mind that you also can't do additional validation during the actual Checkout-the only way is to ask for the shipping address before Checkout. You can also add text near the shipping address form [0] noting which states you do not support, but if people still pay from an unsupported state, you will have to handle it after the fact by refunding the user.

Thank you for the reply. A refund after the fact is not ideal, but I can definitely do the former, get shipping information upfront. So if the Checkout API doesn't have options for states, I do see a way to listen for events on the shipping address Element. Is building the form with elements and checking the state selected a possibility?
@@StripeDev As you said, not natively, but with Elements, I can listen for the state of "state" in the shipping address element and loop through my accepted states. At that point, I can either allow them to continue because they are in our area of service, or... Unmount and pop up an alert/modal with the option to reenter the address? Therefore remounting the elements? Im not sure what I'm going to do yet, but I think this will just be a last ditch effort to avoid payments from areas we don't ship to. I will still collect shipping info up front, validate, and pre-fill the shipping info on the checkout page. A little more work instead of using the Checkout API, but I can create a solution for my use case.
Hello Cecil, I know this video is about CLI, but do you know the Checkout API as well? This sounds strange, but I would like to restrict the shipping address states. I ship frozen foods, and my company is a small startup and can't ship nationally yet. I have tried to access the , but is restricted. I see a way to for allowed_countries, but nothing for states. Is it possible?
Hey there! You'll want to make sure your restricted keys are up to date and valid-take a look at our doc here for more info: docs.stripe.com/stripe-cli/keys.
