If you aren't using payment_method_types your checkout session will use automatic payment methods which is defined by your dashboard settings

Hi @proven hound

#

ok, so to keep it simpler, I should not define payment_method_types for now

#

and payment_method_options are just the specific options for any of the payment_method_types?

#

We actually have a helpful tool where if you input your checkout session ID, we tell you why each payment method did or did not show up https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/payment_methods/review

#

payment_method_options is for changing things about a PMs behavior if it is present on the payment method.

It can effect whether a PM is present indirectly in some cases.

#

I cannot find it on an Australian stripe account

One thing that may help you is that the Payment Element now supports external payment methods. Basically you give us a link to a place where a user can pay you through a certain service and we can redirect the user if they choose it https://docs.stripe.com/payments/external-payment-methods

#

I think PayPal is supported more broadly through that but let me double check.

#

It looks like it is, you can use the value external_paypal
