my use case is: I am a platform account with hundreds of connected accounts, I have a toggle in my system to "enable mobile wallets", when that is clicked, I want to enable both apple pay / google pay to be used in the PaymentElement at checkout, and then also register the domains with stripe / apple ( which I've already accomplished), I'm just unsure on how to enable / disable the high level availability at the account level.. similar to how you can enable / disable in the Dashboard UI when editting viewing the "Payment Methods" from a connected account

warped stone Mar 31, 2026, 9:10 PM

#

hello! you can't actually set available, that's calculated on our end and only returned after checking account capabilities (so in this case for google / apple pay it would check against card_payments capabilities). from the perspective of the PMC you would set this parameter to "on"
https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_method_configurations/update#update_payment_method_configurations-google_pay-display_preference-preference

#

so if you set that to "on" and the account has the proper capabilities, available will switch to "true" when you retrieve the PMC

unkempt estuary Mar 31, 2026, 9:11 PM

#

so DisplayPrefence = ON/off is a toggle for "eabled / disabled" in the Payment Methods view in the dashboard?

warped stone Mar 31, 2026, 9:11 PM

#

yep!

unkempt estuary Mar 31, 2026, 9:12 PM

#

i might suggest normalizing the keywords 🙂

#

display preference is not really giving the "feeling" or enabled / disabled

#

of*

warped stone Mar 31, 2026, 9:12 PM

#

hahaha fair 😅

#

but yes that should be what you're looking for

unkempt estuary Mar 31, 2026, 9:13 PM

#

perfect, i'll give it a shot, thank you.

warped stone Mar 31, 2026, 9:14 PM

#

yep of course!

unkempt estuary Mar 31, 2026, 9:14 PM

#

one more question 🙂

#

how do I retrieve the current PMC for an account?

warped stone Mar 31, 2026, 9:18 PM

#

you should be able to call this and pass the stripe-account header of the account you want to retrieve

Retrieve payment method configuration | Stripe API Reference

unkempt estuary Mar 31, 2026, 9:19 PM

#

thank you...

#

wait, that wants a PMC_xxx ... how do I find the current one with just an acct_id?

warped stone Mar 31, 2026, 9:22 PM

#

oh you just want to retrieve all of them for a specific account? calling the list endpoint should work

#

a given account can have multiple, so if you want the default you want to look for the one flagged as is_default: true

unkempt estuary Mar 31, 2026, 9:22 PM

#

well, yes, but like how do I know the "active" one

#

ok

warped stone Mar 31, 2026, 9:23 PM

#

https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_method_configurations/list

warped stone Mar 31, 2026, 9:23 PM

#

unkempt estuary well, yes, but like how do I know the "active" one

technically they can have multiple active ones, you probably care about the default

unkempt estuary Mar 31, 2026, 9:24 PM

#

fair enough, call list and look for is_default. just for knowledge, what is the case where multiple are "active"?

warped stone Mar 31, 2026, 9:28 PM

#

"active" just decides whether or not it can actually be used - you can have multiple PMCs and pass them when creating an invoice, payment intent, subscription etc. is_default will determine which one among the active ones will be used if no PMC is specified and no payment_method_types are passed (because when these are passed we ignore the PMC entirely)

unkempt estuary Mar 31, 2026, 9:28 PM

#

got it.. makes sense

#

thanks again.

warped stone Mar 31, 2026, 9:30 PM

#

yep of course!

#

lemme know if you need anything else, i'll keep the thread open for a bit

unkempt estuary Mar 31, 2026, 9:35 PM

#

so something like this to enable both:

#

var pmcService = new PaymentMethodConfigurationService();
var defaultPmcId = pmcService.List(null, GetAccountLevelRequestOptions).Where(p => p.IsDefault).FirstOrDefault()?.Id;

            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(defaultPmcId)) {
                log.Error("No default payment method configuration found for account " + MerchantId);
                return false;
            }

            var pmcuOptions = new PaymentMethodConfigurationUpdateOptions {
                ApplePay = new PaymentMethodConfigurationApplePayOptions {
                    DisplayPreference = new PaymentMethodConfigurationApplePayDisplayPreferenceOptions() {
                        Preference = "on"
                    },
                },
                GooglePay = new PaymentMethodConfigurationGooglePayOptions {
                    DisplayPreference = new PaymentMethodConfigurationGooglePayDisplayPreferenceOptions() {
                        Preference = "on"
                    },
                },
            };
            
            pmcService.Update(defaultPmcId, pmcuOptions, GetAccountLevelRequestOptions);

warped stone Mar 31, 2026, 9:35 PM

#

yep! that looks right

unkempt estuary Mar 31, 2026, 9:36 PM

#

thanks!

#

and for disabling.. if I just leave the domains registered, thats fine... in case the want to enable in the future, i dont have to worry about that part?

warped stone Mar 31, 2026, 9:38 PM

#

yep! no reason to disable the domain, if you set the preference to off it will disable it

unkempt estuary Mar 31, 2026, 9:38 PM

#

great. i think that's it... for now.. 🙂

warped stone Mar 31, 2026, 9:38 PM

#

turns out there are many levels on which wallets can be disabled, so most of the time people struggle more with getting it to show than the reverse 😛

unkempt estuary Mar 31, 2026, 9:38 PM

#

i've already exprerienced that part

warped stone Mar 31, 2026, 9:39 PM

#

we all have at one point

unkempt estuary Mar 31, 2026, 9:39 PM

#

still have to figure out why google pay is not showing up on my chrome iphone. but shows in desktop chrome

#

maybe thats just apple being naughty.. .idk

#

idk... still just digging into these wallets... and they are a little annoying 🙂

warped stone Mar 31, 2026, 9:47 PM

#

if you try going here:
https://docs.stripe.com/testing/wallets?ui=express-checkout-element

and google pay isn't showing, it usually means there's an issue with how your wallet is configured on your phone. i'm actually not even certain if it's possible to configure google pay to show on an iphone 🤔 pretty sure it isn't

unkempt estuary Mar 31, 2026, 9:51 PM

#

well... this is "interesting"

#

i was testing that bit of code... and Apple Pay is turning off / on, but google pay is not toggling

#

in the dashboard it shows that is is still "enabled" and not inheritting from my platform settings, even after I call that update

#

but apple pay does actually toggle..

#

is the update api endpoint restricted to only updating 1 thing at a time?

#

nope, I tried just updating google pay by itself, and the dashboard is not reflecting the change.

warped stone Mar 31, 2026, 9:59 PM

#

can you share the PMC ID with me?

unkempt estuary Mar 31, 2026, 9:59 PM

#

pmc_1Sg8jCAjxmkU1mQBZfBSXWcW

#

sandbox

warped stone Mar 31, 2026, 10:00 PM

#

can you share the request ID where you tried updating it? i see it's still set to this in the PMC:

    available: false,
    display_preference: {
      overridable: true,
      preference: "off",
      value: "off"
    }
  },```

unkempt estuary Mar 31, 2026, 10:01 PM

#

that would be what I expected... but

#

warped stone Mar 31, 2026, 10:02 PM

#

ahhh i see, i assumed you were trying to enable them 🙃 1 sec

unkempt estuary Mar 31, 2026, 10:02 PM

#

yeah, sorry, was testing back and forth...

#

apple pay worked.. and the disabled/enabled reflects on that page..

warped stone Mar 31, 2026, 10:03 PM

#

do you know if google pay is actually displaying? or have you not gotten that far in testing

#

wondering if it's just the dashboard being weird

unkempt estuary Mar 31, 2026, 10:03 PM

#

i didn't test that... was just trying to verify the api request was doing its thing

warped stone Mar 31, 2026, 10:04 PM

#

yeah theoretically if the PMC has it disabled it shouldn't show. obviously it's not great if the dashboard is misleading though

#

lemme see if i can test it out myself real quick

unkempt estuary Mar 31, 2026, 10:04 PM

#

i gotta go get a kid from school, but I'll be back in like 15 minutes

#

let me know what you find

warped stone Mar 31, 2026, 10:04 PM

#

k

#

hmmm when i'm testing it the dashboard is updating

#

can you share the request ID req_ where you're updating the preferences so i can sanity check something?

weak fableBOT Mar 31, 2026, 10:19 PM

#

unkempt estuary Mar 31, 2026, 10:22 PM

#

ok.. i'm back... sure, one sec

#

i just did this one

Hi 👋

I'm stepping in as my colleague had to go

unkempt estuary Mar 31, 2026, 10:28 PM

#

howdy!

shy merlin Mar 31, 2026, 10:30 PM

#

I can see you are updating the PMC identified as pmc_1Sg8jCAjxmkU1mQBZfBSXWcW and it does show Google Pay as inactive in the API response.

google_pay: {
    available: false,
    display_preference: {
      overridable: true,
      preference: "off",
      value: "off",
    },
  },

unkempt estuary Mar 31, 2026, 10:30 PM

#

yep, that's not the issue... it is still showing as "enabled" in the dashboard

shy merlin Mar 31, 2026, 10:32 PM

#

Unfortunately, we cannot provide much insight into the logic of what is being displayed in the Dashboard (thats not our team's speciality). But are you seeing Google Pay show up in any surfaces where it shouldn't?

unkempt estuary Mar 31, 2026, 10:34 PM

#

ok, that's kind of a non-answer... but I don't feel confident in it "working" if the dashboard is not showing it correctly.. reference your colleagues message above, "obviously it's not great if the dashboard is misleading though".... additionally, why was he not able to repro that?

shy merlin Mar 31, 2026, 10:38 PM

#

It isn't great if the Dashboard is being misleading but, as my colleague pointed out they (and I) have not been able to reproduce the behavior you are seeing. I don't think it's a good thing either but, unfortunately, we cannot provide support for it here on this server because the staff who maintain it are not experts in the logic that controls the dashboard.

unkempt estuary Mar 31, 2026, 10:38 PM

#

ok... how do you suggest I ease the concern?

#

I'm a platform account using UA2 accounts... i don't know if that helps in any way?

#

maybe there is something funky with my sandbox account?

shy merlin Mar 31, 2026, 10:40 PM

#

Both the Platform PMC and the PMC for the Connected account show Google Pay as disabled

unkempt estuary Mar 31, 2026, 10:41 PM

#

ok.. i'm not sure how to feel better about moving this to prod

shy merlin Mar 31, 2026, 10:42 PM

#

I would recommend testing it in a situation where you would normally see Google Pay and validate that Google Pay is no longer present

#

It's easily testable

unkempt estuary Mar 31, 2026, 10:45 PM

#

ok.. well, interesting.. maybe... i manually disabled google pay from the dashboard, and now it responds accurately to both enablement and disablement through the api

shy merlin Mar 31, 2026, 10:46 PM

#

You can create a Checkout Session or Payment Link (or render a Payment Element) that consumes this PMC and it should exclude Google Pay. There will also be logs on our end where we can see this

unkempt estuary Mar 31, 2026, 10:46 PM

#

so.. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

shy merlin Mar 31, 2026, 10:49 PM

#

The API is our source of truth but it's definitely odd that the Dashboard appears to differ

unkempt estuary Mar 31, 2026, 10:50 PM

#

i'm going to not worry about it anymore 🙂 likely a sandbox / setup / caching issue of some sort...

#

thank you

shy merlin Mar 31, 2026, 10:53 PM

Happy to shed what little 💡 I can 🙂
