Caution

Stripe automatically presents your customers payment method options by evaluating their currency, payment method restrictions, and other parameters. We recommend that you configure your payment methods from the Stripe Dashboard using the instructions in Accept a payment.

If you want to continue manually configuring the payment methods you present to your customers with Checkout, use this guide. Otherwise, update your integration to configure payment methods in the Dashboard.

TWINT is a single-use payment method used in Switzerland. It allows customers to authenticate and approve payments using an approved TWINT mobile app.

You get immediate notification on whether the payment succeeded or failed.
