Stripe's Payment Method Configuration (PMC) lets you control which payment options appear on your paywall. This applies when using:

  • Stripe Checkout

  • Payment Element

  • Express Checkout

How to Create and Apply a Payment Method Configuration (PMC):

  1. Access Stripe Settings:

    • Log into your Stripe Dashboard

    • Go to Settings → Payment

    • Open the Payment Methods tab

  2. Create New Configuration:

    • Click "Create configuration" (top-right corner)
      ​

    • Enter a descriptive name for your PMC

    • Click Save
      ​

  3. Configure Payment Methods:

    • Enable your desired payment options (Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna, etc.)

    • Copy the generated Payment Method Configuration ID
      ​

  4. Implement in Your Paywall:

    • Paste the PMC ID into the appropriate field within:

      • Stripe Checkout settings

      • Payment Element configuration

      • Express Checkout setup
        ​

    Key Advantage:
    PMCs provide centralized control over payment method availability and display priority – ideal for:

    • Testing different payment combinations

    • Creating localized payment experiences

    • Managing method availability across integrations

    (Maintained all original steps, warnings, and use cases while improving organization and readability.)
