Hello, it sounds like your integration is using the Payment Request Button, it is a separate Element that is just the button https://stripe.com/docs/stripe-js/elements/payment-request-button

You are right! Thanks so much for your help.

Awesome glad I could help. Let me know if you run in to anything else

One follow up: all things equal, would it make more sense to use PaymentElement instead of CardElement + PaymentRequestButton? (I don't have the original dev to ask why this particular implementation was chosen, but maybe there are good reasons...)

#

They are both valid ways to integrate. Is there anything in particular that you are trying to do beyond what this page already does?

Sorry, to clarify, by "this page" are you referring to the page that has the payment element in my app?

Correct

#

Their capabilities are very similar here. PaymentElement is newer and what we recommend for people who are just starting, but they are very similar capability-wise so it really comes more down to what you are trying to do behavior and UI-wise

Got it. Looks like PaymentElement came out in Oct 2021, and this page was implemented before then, so that's probably why.

#

Thanks again. I'm sure you all hear this all the time, but this is amazing support. Y'all rock.
