Hello! It's common to use both the Express Checkout Element and the Payment Element together. Typically the Express Checkout Element is shown first, followed by the Payment Element. When doing this you should disable wallets in the Payment Element so you don't see duplicate option across both Elements: https://stripe.com/docs/js/elements_object/create_payment_element#payment_element_create-options-wallets
Usually people do this when they want the express options (Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc.) to appear as distinct buttons above the Payment Element instead of options inside the Payment Element.

That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks! Can you provide some clarity into this statement from the docs:
It’s preferred to collect payment details before creating an Intent when using the Express Checkout Element. If you previously integrated with the Payment Element, you might need to update your integration.
It doesn't sound like it's required to make that update in order to use Express Checkout? What is the benefit of making that update? If I did decide to use both the Payment and Express Checkout Elements, would I have to include both integration methods (PaymentIntent before payment details and PaymentIntent after payment details)?

You're correct, that update isn't required. We recommend it because it makes the overall flow and integration simpler, but you can ultimately do whatever works best for you.
For the Express Checkout Element + the Payment Element where you create a Payment Intent first I do think you would need to implement both flows, yeah.
