Title: error country code! Last modified: March 3, 2024 --- # error country code! * Resolved [birken](https://wordpress.org/support/users/birken/) * (@birken) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-country-code/) * hello, * So i use WooCommerce and stripe with my booking system everything work fine in PayPal and other payment gateways… But with stripe i keep having problem with the Country Code at the Checkout. so sometimes when customer add wrong country code it messes up my order bookings in my system… this is the error at stripe.. * invalid_request_error – billing_details[address][country] * Country ‘AUS ‘ is unknown. Try using a 2-character alphanumeric country code instead, such as ‘US’, ‘EG’, or ‘GB’. So my question: in the CART how can make it so customer are not able to add wrong country codes?only these codes are ok with stripe: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2#Officially_assigned_code_elements](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2#Officially_assigned_code_elements) Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Plugin Support [Shameem – a11n](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shameemreza/) * (@shameemreza) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-country-code/#post-17469916) * Hi [@birken](https://wordpress.org/support/users/birken/), * WooCommerce, by default, uses the ISO 3166 standard. So, if a customer selects Australia, the Alpha-2 country code “AU” should pass to Stripe instead of the Alpha-3 code “AUS”: [https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:AU](https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:AU) * However, for better assistance, are you using standard checkout or customized using a third-party plugin? Also, what booking plugin are you using? Can you share a copy of the following: - **System Status Report:** Navigate to **WooCommerce → Status**. Select **Get System Report** and then **Download for Support**. - **Fatal Error log:** Share a copy of any fatal error log found under **WooCommerce → Status → Logs**. * You could copy and paste your reply or share it via [Mozilla Community Pastebin](https://paste.mozilla.org/) and send the link here. * In the meantime, you can run a conflict test to help you identify the cause of the issue.

Normally, WooCommerce’s standard checkout includes a country selection field where users can choose their country. It means the user doesn’t need to manually input the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes, as WooCommerce will define them automatically based on the selected country. * For better assistance, we need to understand your setup and situation clearly. Could you please share more information about your issue, including the information requested earlier? * Looking forward to resolving this issue for you. * Thread Starter [birken](https://wordpress.org/support/users/birken/) * (@birken) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-country-code/#post-17470138) * hello :), i am using Flexible Checkout Fields plugin by WP desk as i need some extra information from customer. maybe that is the problem? it seem my default WooCommerce checkout don’t show filed for customers address, post code and country.. where do enable that?Warm regards * [Juan G. (woo-hc)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/judagutor/) * (@judagutor) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-country-code/#post-17470288) * Hi [@birken](https://wordpress.org/support/users/birken/)! * Thank you for reaching out back. * > i am using Flexible Checkout Fields plugin by WP desk as i need some extra > information from customer. maybe that is the problem? * It could be. Sometimes, an outdated or malfunctioning code could be interfering. To be sure of this, you could try performing a conflict test as recommended by [@shameemreza](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shameemreza/) earlier. * To do it, temporarily switch your theme back to [Storefront](https://www.woocommerce.com/storefront/), disabling all plugins except WooCommerce and Stripe, and then check again if the issue persists. * If that solves it, reactivate the theme first and check again. Then, reactivate your other plugins, testing each until you find the one causing conflict. * If you cannot perform a conflict test on your live site, we recommend creating a staging site using the [WP Staging](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-staging/) plugin. * You can find a more detailed explanation of how to do a conflict test here: [https://woo.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/](https://woo.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/) * > it seem my default WooCommerce checkout don’t show filed for customers address, > post code and country.. where do enable that? * By default, at checkout, WooCommerce shows fields like address, country, region, and postal code in the Shipping Address section. The image below shows how these fields display on my test site using the [Storefront](https://www.woocommerce.com/storefront/) theme. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/i.ibb.co/CPwwb5N/bjafjn.png?ssl=1) * Image link: [https://i.ibb.co/CPwwb5N/bjafjn.png](https://i.ibb.co/CPwwb5N/bjafjn.png) * If you can’t see these fields displaying in the Shipping Address section of your checkout page, it could be something related to your theme not displaying it or a conflict with another plugin. Please try changing your theme to [Storefront](https://www.woocommerce.com/storefront/) or performing a conflict test to see if it helps to solve the issue. * Let us know how it goes! * Thread Starter [birken](https://wordpress.org/support/users/birken/) * (@birken) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-country-code/#post-17470370) * thx guys, it was my theme that have overriding code. now also the plugin checkout field working fine. * happy days 🙂 * [ckadenge (woo-hc)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ckadenge/) * (@ckadenge) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-country-code/#post-17470626) * Hi [@birken](https://wordpress.org/support/users/birken/), * Glad to hear it – thanks for letting us know! * I’ll mark this thread as resolved now. * If you have any further questions, I recommend [creating a new thread](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce/#new-topic-0).
