Hi 👋 no, Paystack is not an integrated and supported payment method type in Stripe at this time. Though I'll be sure to capture feedback for our teams indicating this is something you're interested in seeing offered in the future.
The only option coming to mind in the meantime, is to try to integrate it as a Custom Payment Method:
https://docs.stripe.com/payments/payment-methods/custom-payment-methods
https://docs.stripe.com/payments/payment-element/custom-payment-methods

okay thanks! I did not know about custom payment methods, it sounds like it just displays the custom payment method but you still have to handle it using it's own api?
wicked robin
That's correct. They're essentially just a placeholder in the payment element that lets you call out to other payment method integrations that we don't directly support yet.

Got it thanks! while you're here I have another question regarding IDEAL payments & subscriptions.
Again, we're using Payment Element and have subscriptions implemented. However, there have been reports of IDEAL not showing up as an option when choosing a subscription. Do we have to do something sepcial in order to have IDEAL payments work with Subscriptions?
wicked robin
Using iDEAL to start a Subscription, which ultimately creates a SEPA Direct Debit payment method that will be used for the recurring payments, is only available when using Checkout Sessions:
https://docs.corp.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/ideal
I don't think the Payment Element supports that flow currently.
thorn karma
oh I didn't realize that Stripe Checkout has more ability than Stripe Payment Element. is there a list somewhere that shows the difference in support between the two?
wicked robin
No, I don't think we have a full list of differences this granular. We have some docs to compare between the two, but they don't go deep enough to talk about features like this.
I've also filed feedback with our team indicating this is something you'd be interested in seeing us offer in the Payment Element in the future, so our product teams can take that into consideration.
thorn karma
okay good to know, thanks!
