Hi there!
How are you accepting payments? Checkout Session, Payment Element, something else?

Can you share the PaymentIntent ID (pi_xxx)?
upper pollen
in the test mode it shows paypal but in live not
but I mean, the paypal option is not showing in my page
but in the stripe dashboard is on
slate hamlet
Sure, in order for me to check, can you share the PaymentIntent ID (pi_xxx) with this issue?
upper pollen
yes. here is one that i created pi_3Nk2CbLtemeon8ro0NE1thmB

Did you follow these steps to enable paypal for recurring payments? https://stripe.com/docs/payments/paypal/set-up-future-payments
upper pollen
but in the ui of the payment page, it should show the option to pay with paypal?
i just see this
slate hamlet
Did you follow the instructions in the link I shared above? If not, then it's expected that Paypal is not available.

I see, i need to specify the payment_method_types. Thank you soma. One question, if im using this method ```php
$subscription = Subscription::create([
'customer' => $stripeCustomer,
'items' => [['price' => $priceId]],
'payment_behavior' => 'default_incomplete',
'payment_settings' => ['save_default_payment_method' => 'on_subscription'],
'expand' => ['latest_invoice.payment_intent'],
]);
For subscription payment mehtod it's directly set in the dashboard here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/billing/invoice

i have paypal enabled but in the UI i cant still see it. I followed the guide
could you please hint me what can be wrong?
slate hamlet
Did you follow this, yes or no? https://stripe.com/docs/payments/paypal/set-up-future-payments
upper pollen
not exactly. But it is because I dont understand why do i have to specify the payment_method to paypal if the user cant see in the UI to pay with paypal. I mean, I dont know when to specify exactly what the docs say
slate hamlet
I don't understand your issue. By default Stripe accounts can't use Paypal for subscription, unless they follow the steps mentioned in the link I shared above.
So if you didn't follow the steps above, then it's expected that Paypal is not showing up.

im getting this error when following the doc to pay with paypal { "error": { "code": "payment_method_unactivated", "decline_code": "paypal_payment_declined", "doc_url": "https://stripe.com/docs/error-codes/payment-method-unactivated", "message": "The request failed because the PayPal Reference Transaction API is not enabled for this account. Please enable the 'recurring' feature in your Dashboard at https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/payment_methods.", "payment_method": {
but in that url it shows this
Oh wait, its because the Recurring payments are pending
Is there an option to test the payment with paypal in a subscription but just pay for one time?

Hi there!
Can you share the ID (req_xxx) of the failing API request?

You need to complete your account verification, Paypal for recurring payments is in pending state in your account
upper pollen
Do i have to wait until paypal payments is verified, right?
woven verge
Yes
upper pollen
Thank you. I would like to know if it's possible to use Stripe to receive online payments without having a company or being self-employed in order to complete my account verification. Are there options available for individuals who want to receive payments on an individual basis or validate my account using other way?
