The payment methods you can offer depend on the currency, country, and Stripe products you integrate with. Use this guide to make sure your chosen payment methods work for your business and to determine how you want to add payment methods.
Choose your integration 
To decide which integration works best for you, consider:
- The Stripe products and checkout options you want to use or are currently using.
- The payment methods you want to enable.
No-code integrations
We offer several ways to get started with your integration using the Stripe Dashboard that don’t require any code:
Payment Links: Take your customers to a Stripe-hosted payment page. This page dynamically shows the payment methods most relevant to the currency and customer’s location based on the payment methods you enabled in the Dashboard.
Invoicing: Lets you automatically charge your customer’s payment method on file, or email them the invoice with or without a link to a payment page. You can also create basic subscriptions from the Dashboard. To configure payment methods for invoices and subscriptions, see the Invoice template.
Low-code integrations
If you’re looking for more control over your payments integration, Stripe offers several unique low-code offerings:
Checkout: Lets you add an embeddable payment form to your site or redirect users to a Stripe-hosted checkout page. You can configure Checkout programmatically through the API or configure it in the Dashboard. Stripe selects enabled payment methods from your Dashboard by default. If you’re using the API, you can manually list payment methods using payment method types.
Payment Element: A UI component that you embed into your website or app. When customers are ready to complete a purchase, you create a PaymentIntent or a SetupIntent and configure how you want to display payment methods. For the Payment Element, you can manage payment methods from the Dashboard. Stripe handles the return of eligible payment methods based on factors such as the transaction’s amount, currency, and payment flow.
With Checkout and the Payment Element, you can also use subscriptions or recurring charges. To manage customer subscriptions and payment methods for invoices and subscriptions, see Customer management. You can also list payment methods manually with payment method types.
Payment method support
Payment methods only support certain currencies, countries, and products. Make sure your chosen payment methods work for your scenario. Depending on your payments flows, some additional API options might restrict the payment methods you can offer.
If you’re seeing that a specific payment method isn’t appearing for a customer, use the Payment Methods review page in the Dashboard. This tool lets you troubleshoot the issue using an existing PaymentIntent ID or custom field.
All payment methods have specific requirements for their use and may contain additional restrictions that you must comply with, such as marketing guidelines, additional prohibited and restricted businesses, and information about handling disputes and refunds. These usage requirements and restrictions are described in the documentation for that payment method or in the applicable payment terms.
Country and currency support
Refer to the following table to see where each payment method is supported and what presentment currencies it accepts. This table contains all of the supported currencies and countries for a given payment method. In some cases, not all of the countries listed can accept payments in all of the listed presentment currencies. For more details on exactly what currencies are accepted, see the individual payment method’s page.

Add payment methods
Your customers see the available payment methods during the checkout process. You can either manage payment methods from the Stripe Dashboard or list payment methods manually in code. See the Accept a payment guide for detailed steps.
Use dynamic payment methods
You can manage payment methods from the Dashboard. Stripe handles the return of eligible payment methods based on factors such as the transaction’s amount, currency, and payment flow. This allows Stripe to pull your payment method preferences from the Dashboard to dynamically display the most relevant payment methods to your customers. Stripe enables certain payment methods for you by default. We might also enable additional payment methods after notifying you. Use the Dashboard to enable or disable payment methods at any time.
Unless your integration requires that you list payment methods manually, we recommend managing payment methods from the Dashboard.
If you list payment methods manually and want to migrate payment methods to the Dashboard, follow the instructions for your integration.
In your Checkout integration, remove payment_method_types. Command Linecurl https://api.stripe.com/v1/checkout/sessions \ -u sk_test_4eC39HqLyjWDarjtT1zdp7dc: \ -d success_url="https://example.com/success" \ -d cancel_url="https://example.com/cancel" \ -d "line_items[0][price]"=price_H5ggYwtDq4fbrJ \ -d "line_items[0][quantity]"=2 \ -d “payment_method_types[]”=bancontact\ -d “payment_method_types[]”=card\ -d “payment_method_types[]”=eps\ -d “payment_method_types[]”=giropay\ -d “payment_method_types[]”=ideal\ -d “payment_method_types[]”=p24\ -d “payment_method_types[]”=sepa_debit\ ... -d mode=payment
Stripe displays all compatible payment methods to your customers when checking out depending on the chosen currency or any payment method restrictions like maximum transaction amounts. Stripe also presents the most relevant payment methods for each customer based on their location and currency used. The payments acceptance page prioritizes showing payment methods known to increase conversion for your customer’s location while lower priority payment methods are hidden in an overflow menu.
To see how your payment methods appear to customers, enter a transaction ID or set an order amount and currency in the Dashboard.
Manually list payment methods
Listing payment methods manually requires some coding. Every payment method you want your PaymentIntent to accept must be added to payment_method_types. Unless your integration requires that you list payment methods manually, we recommend that you manage payment methods from the Dashboard. Stripe handles the return of eligible payment methods based on factors such as the transaction’s amount, currency, and payment flow.
curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/checkout/sessions \ -u sk_test_4eC39HqLyjWDarjtT1zdp7dc: \ -d success_url="https://example.com/success" \ -d cancel_url="https://example.com/cancel" \ -d "line_items[0][price]"=price_H5ggYwtDq4fbrJ \ -d "line_items[0][quantity]"=2 \ -d “payment_method_types[]”=bancontact\ -d “payment_method_types[]”=card\ -d “payment_method_types[]”=eps\ -d “payment_method_types[]”=giropay\ -d “payment_method_types[]”=ideal\ -d “payment_method_types[]”=p24\ -d “payment_method_types[]”=sepa_debit\ ... -d mode=payment
If multiple payment methods are passed, Checkout dynamically reorders them to prioritize the most relevant payment methods based on the customer’s location and other characteristics. The payments acceptance page prioritizes showing payment methods known to increase conversion for your customer’s location while lower priority payment methods are hidden in an overflow menu.
