Hello
First, Payment Request Button is actually our legacy wallet Element. Is there a reason you are integrating that as opposed to the Express Checkout Element: https://docs.stripe.com/elements/express-checkout-element ?

Hey, let me look
Is there anything different about this API (e.g. functionality when embedded in an iframe) as compared to the payment request button?
iron patio
Not in that regard, no.
It is just newer/better and will continue to be developed (as opposed to Payment Request Button which is still supported but will no longer have any features added)
subtle heart
Gotcha. Does the API return the individual button components, or is it just a single component we need to put somewhere?
Also, functionally, it looks like this one is correctly showing Google Pay. What's different under the hood? Does it not still use the payment request API?
iron patio
It uses the same API to show Google Pay
That shouldn't really be different
But yeah it is just a single component that would show any of the wallet options you have enabled
subtle heart
Hm, gotcha. Can we call it multiple times with one payment method enabled per call? We currently control the display of each button individually (to align to our grid, etc.), so it'd be nice to get each button as a separate component to mount
subtle heart
It uses the same API to show Google Pay
That's really interesting—it definitely produces different results

You could do that by instantiating multiple instances of Stripe.JS if you want. You can also control the layout if you want to go that route and stack them vertically if you want: https://docs.stripe.com/js/elements_object/create_express_checkout_element#express_checkout_element_create-options-layout
subtle heart
It has to be multiple StripeJS instances? I can't just make the same call multiple times?
iron patio
You can't render multiple of the same Element components, no.
