Hello?

Hi there 👋 can you tell me a lot more about this? Are you setting up the Express Checkout Element to force Apple Pay to show, or are you leaving default behavior in place where it's only surfaced if we detect the device being used is already fully set up to use Apple Pay (including having a card in the wallet already)?
safe horizon
I was not aware of the default behaviour
how can I change it?
in order to show the button regardless

You can set paymentMethods.applePay to always:

safe horizon
Got it!
Sice I dont use elements.create I guess I should pass it in like this const expressCheckoutOptions = { layout: { overflow: "never" }, paymentMethods:{ applePay:"always", googlePay:"always", }, buttonHeight: 50, paymentMethodOrder: ["google_pay", "apple_pay", "paypal"] };

Hello
flint tangle
Are you using React here?
safe horizon
yes
flint tangle
If so, you would pass the above to your Elements component and yes that looks correct
safe horizon
great!
One more question: I've been advised to move off of ECE to the Payment element. My only concern with that is that I cannot display custom marketing text within the form, can I?
flint tangle
Ah wait sorry
You pass paymentMethods as props to your Express Checkout Element
Not your Elements Provider
That's correct that you can't display custom text within Payment Element
safe horizon
yeah, like this I assume <ExpressCheckoutElement onClick={onClick} onReady={onReady} onConfirm={onConfirm} options={expressCheckoutOptions} />
flint tangle
However you shouldn't really need to migrate -- you can use Express Checkout Element together with Payment Element
If you want
flint tangle
Both Paypal and Subscriptions are supported with ECE
Paypal is only supported in the EU though currently.
Where is your Stripe Account located?
safe horizon
EU, but also selling in the US
I remember having problems with this... the button just wouldnt show up
flint tangle
Hmm are you using Setup Future Usage and is your account set up for Paypal recurring payments?
safe horizon
Yes I have been allowed to accept recurring payments with PayPal
flint tangle
Okay and Paypal is on in your Dashboard I assume?
safe horizon
Okay, this is very weird
I just looked again in the Payment Methods section
and it says that I need approval vor the recurring payments with paypal, but I have already received it
flint tangle
Hmmm I'm not sure about how that stuff works tbh -- we just focus on the API here. Maybe it was enabled on a different account? If you need help on that approval and getting it enabled you will need to work with our Support team via https://support.stripe.com/contact/login
safe horizon
It certainly is on the same account
If it would show enabled in the dashboard, should the PayPal button also show up in the ECE?
flint tangle
If the recurring setting is enabled then yes afaik it should
