Hi
Yes,
Each payment method has its own capability, which tracks the requirements to use it.
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/account-capabilities#payment-methods
So you need to request the PaymentMethod's corresponding capability for your accounts.

Thanks. This account acct_1N4JI2R8AmXu9XaX on test doesn't has the ideal capability , still it shows ideal in the checkout flow. Reading the document it sounded like we should have requested the ideal capability to show that (we didn't). How does that work?

How are you creating the Checkout Session, can you share the Checkout Session Id?
You are getting Ideal on the Checkout because you activated that PaymentMethods for your Connected Account globally from your dashboard.

So if we enable payment methods globally it doesn't require the capability on the accounts?

You need to activate both.

How come that for that test account ideal shows up while we didn't activate both, just globally? (just to be clear, the account doesn't have the ideal capability)

That Checkout Session is for a destination Charge, so the Platform account's PaymentMethods settings will be used here.
If you were using direct charges, then you'll need the capability of the PaymentMethod too.

Check. We will only use destination charges
The connect accounts need to be created with the transfers and card capabilities. The latter is required otherwise you run into an error. But the card capability isn't actually 'used' for checkouts because we use destination charges?
Just trying to see if we understood it properly.
It was a bit confusing for us that we were required to request the card capability while it will just use the payment methods enabled on the Platform's account

No, card payment is slightly different, it's required also for receiving payment from the platform account (destination charges)
