​
Configuring Payment Methods

While all payment methods are automatically available based on customer location and currency, you can optionally restrict which payment options appear during checkout using the allowed_payment_method_types parameter.

​
When to Configure Payment Methods

You may want to configure allowed payment methods to:
  • Control which payment options appear to customers based on your business requirements
  • Restrict payment methods for specific product types or transaction flows
  • Maintain consistency across different payment experiences
  • Optimize checkout experience for your target audience

​
Implementation

1

Add parameter to API request

Include the allowed_payment_method_types field in your payment or subscription creation request:
{
  "allowed_payment_method_types": [
    "credit",
    "debit",
    "apple_pay"
  ]
}
2

Test the configuration

Verify that only the specified payment methods appear at checkout.
Test payment method availability with different customer locations and currencies to ensure the configuration works as expected.

​
API Endpoints

This configuration is supported by the following endpoints:

Create Checkout Session

Create checkout sessions with allowed payment methods.

Create Payment

One-time payments with allowed methods.

Create Subscription

Subscription payments with recurring methods.

​
Implementation Examples

  • One-Time Payment
  • Subscription
  • Regional Focus
{
  "amount": 1000,
  "currency": "usd",
  "allowed_payment_method_types": [
    "credit",
    "debit",
    "apple_pay",
    "google_pay"
  ]
}

​
Best Practices

If allowed_payment_method_types is not specified, all eligible payment methods will be available based on customer location, currency, and transaction type. Only use this parameter when you need to restrict payment methods.
Consider your target market when selecting payment methods. Including region-specific options (like UPI for India or iDEAL for Netherlands) can significantly improve conversion rates in those markets.
Track which payment methods your customers use most frequently and adjust your allowed methods based on actual usage patterns and conversion data.

​
Important Considerations

Payment method availability depends on multiple factors:
  • Customer Location: Some payment methods are region-specific
  • Merchant Settings: Your account configuration and capabilities
  • Currency: Supported payment methods vary by currency
  • Transaction Type: Some methods don’t support subscriptions or have minimum amounts
Adding a payment method to allowed_payment_method_types doesn’t guarantee it will appear - it must also be eligible based on these factors.

​
Troubleshooting

Possible causes:
  • The payment method is not included in allowed_payment_method_types
  • The payment method is not supported for the customer’s location
  • The payment method doesn’t support the transaction currency
  • For subscriptions: the payment method doesn’t support recurring payments
  • The transaction amount is below the minimum threshold (e.g., BNPL methods)
Solution: Verify all eligibility requirements are met and check your API request configuration.
Possible causes:
  • The allowed_payment_method_types parameter is not being passed correctly
  • There may be conflicting configurations in your merchant dashboard
Solution: Review your API request payload and ensure the parameter is properly formatted as an array of strings.
Possible causes:
  • The customer’s location doesn’t match the payment method’s supported region
  • The currency is not supported by the regional payment method
  • Your merchant account may not be enabled for that specific payment method
Solution: Verify regional and currency compatibility, and contact support if you believe the method should be available.
