​
Why Offer Multiple Payment Methods?

Boost Conversion

Local methods increase sales 20-30% in target markets.

One Platform

All methods managed through a single API.

Smart Routing

Right options shown based on location and device.

​
How It Works

Payment methods are automatically presented to customers based on:
  • Customer Location — Regional methods like iDEAL (Netherlands) or UPI (India) only appear for customers in those regions
  • Transaction Currency — Payment methods are filtered by supported currencies
  • Device Type — Apple Pay only appears on compatible Apple devices and browsers
  • Transaction Type — Some methods don’t support subscriptions or have minimum amounts
Automatic Activation: All payment methods are pre-configured and managed by Dodo Payments. No additional setup needed — they become available once your account is verified and live mode is enabled.

  allowed_payment_method_types: [
    'credit',

  ],

​
Best Practices

Include regional payment methods for your target markets. iDEAL captures ~60% of online payments in the Netherlands; UPI dominates in India. Omitting these methods significantly hurts conversion.
Even when targeting specific methods, include credit and debit as fallbacks. Not all customers have access to every payment method.
BNPL methods (Klarna, Afterpay) require $50.01 minimum. Don’t include them for low-value products — they simply won’t appear, which is fine.
Use test mode to verify payment method availability for different customer locations, currencies, and device types before going live.

​
Troubleshooting

Check these factors:
  1. Method included in allowed_payment_method_types?
  2. Customer location matches method’s supported region?
  3. Transaction currency supported by method?
  4. Transaction amount meets minimum (e.g., $50.01 for BNPL)?
  5. For subscriptions: method supports recurring payments?
Solution: Remove allowed_payment_method_types temporarily to see all eligible methods, then narrow down the issue.
Possible causes:
  • allowed_payment_method_types not being passed correctly
  • Parameter formatted incorrectly (must be array of strings)
Solution: Log your API request payload and verify the parameter structure.
Check:
  • Customer billing address matches method’s region
  • Currency is set correctly (e.g., EUR for iDEAL)
  • Adaptive Currency is enabled if customer is international
Solution: Verify billing address country code and currency in your API request.
UPI and Rupay subscriptions have unique requirements including 48-hour processing delays and RBI mandate limits.See: India Payment Methods for complete guidance.
