Filter card brands

Use the Stripe Mobile Payment Element to control which card brands you accept. Card brand filtering lets you specify allowed or disallowed card brands for:

• The credit card form in the Mobile Payment Element
• The cards buyers can use with Apple Pay.

When you configure the Mobile Payment Element, you can specify one of two options:

• allowed: Accept only the card brands you specify.
• disallowed: Accept all card brands except those you specify.

For either of these options, pass an array with any of the following card brand values as defined on EmbeddedPaymentElement.Configuration.CardBrandAcceptance.BrandCategory:

• .visa
• .mastercard
• .amex
• .discover

This guide demonstrates how to use card brand filtering to only accept card payments from Visa and Mastercard branded cards.

Before you begin

1. Create a Stripe account or sign in.
2. Follow the Embedded Payment Element Accept In-app payments guide to integrate with Mobile Payment Element.

@_spi(EmbeddedPaymentElementPrivateBeta) import StripePaymentSheet

class MyCheckoutVC: UIViewController {
  func createEmbeddedPaymentElement() async throws -> EmbeddedPaymentElement {
      // ...
      var configuration = EmbeddedPaymentElement.Configuration()
      configuration.cardBrandAcceptance = .allowed(brands: [.visa, .mastercard])
      // ...
  }
}

Test your integration

Stripe provides a set of test card numbers that you can use to test your checkout flow and verify that the Mobile Payment Element accepts or blocks your desired card brands.
