verifyBuyer and the country name and region name

Questions

Hi,

I have a small question regarding verifyBuyer for subscriptions.
My question concerns the country and region.

Does it matter in which language I send the name of the country and region?

for example United States of America, in French it’s “Etats-Unis” and in spanish it is “estados unidos”

Is there a page in the documentation that explains this?

In this example :

  const verificationDetails = {
    billingContact: {
      addressLines: ['123 Main Street', 'Apartment 1'],
      familyName: 'Doe',
      givenName: 'John',
      email: '[email protected]',
      country: 'GB',
      phone: '3214563987',
      region: 'LND',
      city: 'London',
    },
    intent: 'STORE',
  };

I see that the country and region are in the form of a 2 or 3 character code?

Should I then provide a code for the country and region?

and if I don’t have the region code for example, will the country code be enough?

Thanks
Pascal

Yes, you’ll provide the country code in the call to VerifyBuyer. :slightly_smiling_face:

1- Do i use the country code on this page (ISO 3166 international standard):
https://www.iban.com/country-codes

You’ll be using the two-letter ISO 3166-1 country code for each country. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi @Bryan-Square ,
Thank you for your patience and help.
But the link you provided redirects me to another page of the forum that has nothing to do with my question…

If I search on Google, I arrive on a Wikipedia page for ISO 3166-1 alpha-2.
1- If I use this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2 for the country codes, is it OK?

2-Now in VerifyBuyer, there is the city, the region (State or province) and the countryCode.

So for the countryCode, I understand, but for the region, do I have to respect something specific? An abbreviation or the full name? Or does it not matter?

Thank you for your help!

Ops, sorry about that. Here’s the right link to the SDK reference. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi @Bryan-Square ,
Thanks for your message but the link provided is the same… as the previous message… it brings me on a page about “Duplicates payments when change month billing anchor in Subscriptions”, So that doesn’t answer the question!

Please would it be possible to have the right link please?
That’s all that’s left to put it all into production :slight_smile:

Thanks
