# Migrate legacy integrations

Increase conversion and get access to new features by migrating legacy integrations to newer recommended integration paths.

If you’re using an older legacy integration, we recommend migrating to a more recent integration path, which lets you take advantage of new features.

For a comprehensive list of changes to the API, see the [API changelog](https://docs.stripe.com/changelog.md).

| Integration to upgrade | Recommended integration | Why you should upgrade | Migration path |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [Card Element](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/payment-card-element-comparison.md) | [Payment Element](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/payment-element.md) | - Use a single UI component to present over 100 payment methods and build a customisable checkout.
- Access the latest compatible features.
- Have Stripe handle the presentment logic using various factors, such as location, currency, and success metrics.
- Customise payment method preferences in the Dashboard. | [Migrate to the Payment Element](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/payment-element/migration-ewcs.md) |
| *Legacy Checkout* (A modal dialog to collect card details) | - [Checkout](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkout/how-checkout-works.md)
- [Payment Links](https://docs.stripe.com/payment-links.md) | - Checkout:

  - Checkout offers a prebuilt payment form to securely accept online payments.
  - Embed Checkout on your site or redirect to a Stripe-hosted Checkout page.
  - Checkout gives you access to additional features, such as [Dynamic payment methods](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/payment-methods/dynamic-payment-methods.md) and [Adaptive Pricing](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/currencies/localize-prices/adaptive-pricing.md).

- Payment Links:

  - Accept a payment or sell subscriptions without building additional standalone websites or applications.
  - Share a link as many times as you want on social media, in emails, or on your website.
  - Access [Dynamic payment methods](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/payment-methods/dynamic-payment-methods.md) from the Dashboard. | [Migrate to Checkout](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkout/migration.md) |
| [Payment Request Button (deprecated)](https://docs.stripe.com/stripe-js/elements/payment-request-button.md). This Element isn’t supported in Stripe.js `endive` or later. It continues to work in earlier versions of Stripe.js for as long as those versions are supported. | [Express checkout element](https://docs.stripe.com/elements/express-checkout-element.md) | - Accept additional payment method options, such as [Apple pay](https://docs.stripe.com/apple-pay.md), [Amazon Pay](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/amazon-pay.md), [Google Pay](https://docs.stripe.com/google-pay.md), [Link](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/link.md) and [PayPal](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/paypal.md).
- Display multiple payment method buttons at the same time. | [Migrate to the Express Checkout Element](https://docs.stripe.com/elements/express-checkout-element/migration.md) |
