      • components.payment_element.features.payment_method_allow_redisplay_filtersarray of enums

        A list of allow_redisplay values that controls which saved payment methods the Payment Element displays by filtering to only show payment methods with an allow_redisplay value that is present in this list.

        If not specified, defaults to [“always”]. In order to display all saved payment methods, specify [“always”, “limited”, “unspecified”].

        Possible enum values

        always Use always to indicate that this payment method can always be shown to a customer in a checkout flow.

        limited Use limited to indicate that this payment method can’t always be shown to a customer in a checkout flow. For example, it can only be shown in the context of a specific subscription.

        unspecified This is the default value for payment methods where allow_redisplay wasn’t set.

      • components.payment_element.features.payment_method_redisplayenum

        Controls whether or not the Payment Element shows saved payment methods. This parameter defaults to disabled.

        Possible enum values

        disabled The feature is disabled.

        enabled The feature is enabled.

      • components.payment_element.features.payment_method_redisplay_limitinteger

        Determines the max number of saved payment methods for the Payment Element to display. This parameter defaults to 3. The maximum redisplay limit is 10.

      • components.payment_element.features.payment_method_removeenum

        Controls whether the Payment Element displays the option to remove a saved payment method. This parameter defaults to disabled.

        Allowing buyers to remove their saved payment methods impacts subscriptions that depend on that payment method. Removing the payment method detaches the customer object from that PaymentMethod.

        Possible enum values

        disabled The feature is disabled.

        enabled The feature is enabled.

      • components.payment_element.features.payment_method_saveenum

        Controls whether the Payment Element displays a checkbox offering to save a new payment method. This parameter defaults to disabled.

        If a customer checks the box, the allow_redisplay value on the PaymentMethod is set to 'always' at confirmation time. For PaymentIntents, the setup_future_usage value is also set to the value defined in payment_method_save_usage.

        Possible enum values

        disabled The feature is disabled.

        enabled The feature is enabled.

      • components.payment_element.features.payment_method_save_usageenumRequired if payment_method_save=enabled

        When using PaymentIntents and the customer checks the save checkbox, this field determines the setup_future_usage value used to confirm the PaymentIntent.

        When using SetupIntents, directly configure the usage value on SetupIntent creation.

        Possible enum values

        off_session Use off_session if your customer may or may not be present in your checkout flow.

        on_session Use on_session if you intend to only reuse the payment method when your customer is present in your checkout flow.
