Hello! Generally the answer is yes, you can specify specific payment method types in the API.

yeah i just see stuff like this though If multiple payment methods are passed, Checkout dynamically reorders them to prioritize the most relevant payment methods based on the customer’s location and other characteristics.
i don't want that
hasty apex
For a more specific answer you would need to provide more detail about how your integration works.
placid wave
i've lost so much money from this
hasty apex
Ah, so you're using Stripe Checkout?
placid wave
yes
hasty apex
Are you creating Checkout Sessions in your code?
placid wave
yes
hasty apex
So, to clarify, do you want to configure the payment method types in your code or in the Dashboard? Not the order, just what's available?
placid wave
i'm ok with other stuff showing, but i want the default to be card
i think when people are seeing klarna or cashapp when they first popup on the checkout page, they're getting scammy vibes or something
sometimes people use them, but i want the default selected to be card
hasty apex
Gotcha, one sec...
placid wave
np, it's ok if i can't, i can just disable the klarna and cashapp, but you should definitely add an api option to disable it, i can't be the only one that hates this

Well, I thought you could adjust the order in Checkout, but I think I was thinking of paymentMethodOrder in Payment Element: https://docs.stripe.com/js/elements_object/create_payment_element#payment_element_create-options-paymentMethodOrder
I think in Checkout your only option is to disable the other payment methods.
placid wave
yeah that sucks
would be great if you could at least take down my suggestion to allow disabling that, or at least making it so if you specify the methods directly, it will use the order you supplied them in?
hasty apex
Yep, will flag it internally!
placid wave
🙂
just disabled those other payment methods for now
do you guys have a changelog or anything i can follow?
jovial willow
probably https://docs.stripe.com/upgrades if that's what you're looking for? For the Stripe SDK specifically, you can take a look at relevant Stripe SDK github page
hasty apex
There's also the API changelog: https://docs.stripe.com/changelog
