Custom payment methods

Custom payment methods allow you to extend your payment integrations with payment methods processed outside of Stripe. For a list of payment methods offered by Stripe, see the payment method overview page.

Custom payment method integrations

You configure custom payment methods in the Stripe Dashboard, where you provide details such as display name, logo, and so on. Businesses using Payment Element can set up custom payment methods and access over 50 preset methods to use in integrations.

While you process custom payment method transactions outside of Stripe, you can still record the transaction details to your Stripe account to unify reporting and build back office workflows.

Payment Element

The Payment Element can display custom payment methods so you can provide your customers with unified checkout. See Custom payment methods in Payment Element to learn more.

Compliance

Ongoing availability of custom payment methods and PSP integrations

Stripe might at any time decide to remove or block the availability of any payment method as a custom payment method (for example, if required to do so by a governmental authority). Stripe will notify you of any removal of a custom payment method that you’re using, and you must immediately remove the custom payment method in your code. Failure to do so will result in the custom payment method not rendering to your customers.

Restricted custom payment methods

The following payment methods or types of payment methods are prohibited from being used with custom payment methods and third-party payment processors:

• In Indonesia and Thailand:
  • The crypto payment methods provided by the operators
  • Any other crypto-related payment methods

Marks requirements

The use of name, logo, icon, design element or anything else that can identify a payment method (“Marks”) must adhere to the following guidance:

• Follow any Marks guidelines of that payment method provider (for example, terms for use of Stripe Marks).
• Don’t alter or modify the payment method Marks, unless you have permission to do so.
• Don’t use the payment method Marks in violation of your obligations to that payment method provider.
• Don’t use Marks of one payment method provider for another payment method provider.
• Don’t use methods, devices or designs to obfuscate or mislead as to the true underlying payment method.
• Don’t use the payment method Marks in violation of any laws or regulations.

• You’re responsible for properly configuring the CPM and third-party payment processor integration, which might include configuring a redirect URL.
