Hi 👋

If you restrict the payment method types then the customer cannot use other payment methods through the Stripe interface

The form will not allow them

[vague folio]

So it is only a frontend guard? meaning, like if a customer somehow made an API call (hypothetic) to pay an invoice, or initiate an ACH credit transfer on their side, the payment would still succeed?

If so, would appreciate any guidance on how to block the payment on the backend

No, they can't create a payment method using the API

You don't need to

The Invoice also will not accept a payment method that does not match the types specified

So even if you did it all on your end via API calls, if you tried to pass an ACH payment method to an Invoice that was configured only for cards the request would fail

Would you be able to verify for paper checks?Today all of our checks are automatically reconciled if found a match on stripe, when we actually wanted them to pay via card. So expecting this would not happen if we specify the invoice payment method to be only card

I don't know what you mean "verify for paper checks"

That doesn't make sense in the context of people paying invoices online.

We are using Stripe's paper check /lockbox solution

So we have Stripe invoices created, which people can pay via check when we don't want. So we want to block them from doing so, by marking the payment method type as card only. Verify = verify this will work?

Yes that should work. Hwoever paper checks is a beta program AFAIK so we can't directly speak to it here. However, I am certain that an Invoice that is only configured for cards will only successfully process if a payment method of type card is used.

Ok thanks
