Manage default payment methods in the Dashboard

Upgrade your API to manage payment methods in the Dashboard by default.

On 16 August 2023, Stripe updated the selection process for default payment methods that apply to PaymentIntents and SetupIntents created with the /v1/payment_intents and /v1/setup_intents APIs.

In prior versions of the Stripe API, if you didn’t specify a payment_method_types parameter during the creation request, Stripe would default to using the card payment method for both PaymentIntents and SetupIntents.

Moving forward, Stripe applies eligible payment methods that you manage from your Dashboard to your PaymentIntents and SetupIntents by default if you don’t specify the payment_method_types parameter in the creation request.

Payment methods

By default, Stripe enables cards and other common payment methods. You can turn individual payment methods on or off in the Stripe Dashboard. In Checkout, Stripe evaluates the currency and any restrictions, then dynamically presents the supported payment methods to the customer.

To see how your payment methods appear to customers, enter a transaction ID or set an order amount and currency in the Dashboard.

You can enable Apple Pay and Google Pay in your payment methods settings. By default, Apple Pay is enabled and Google Pay is disabled. However, in some cases Stripe filters them out even when they’re enabled. We filter Google Pay if you enable automatic tax without collecting a shipping address.

Checkout’s Stripe-hosted pages don’t need integration changes to enable Apple Pay or Google Pay. Stripe handles these payments the same way as other card payments.
