Environment

Stripe

Resolution

  • This is caused by the customer not having a customer name.

  • In Stripe, when creating a customer, there will be a field for "Email".

  • AvaTax will use this as the customer name.
  • This can be left blank but when trying to calculate tax, you will run into this address error.

 

Note: The "Email" field does not validate the information. You can enter a customer's name, phone number, etc and the customer will be created with what is in that field.
