Verified steps

  1. Create a PaymentIntent with the payment_method_types set to automatic or a curated list, including payment_method_options for any method-specific configuration
  2. Initialize the Stripe.js Payment Element with layout options set to accordion or tabs and pass paymentMethodOrder to influence display ranking
  3. Use the customer's locale, IP-derived country, and cart currency to compute a recommended method order server-side and pass it as paymentMethodOrder in the Elements options
  4. Listen to the change event on the Payment Element to detect which method the customer ultimately selects for analytics
  5. On form submission, call stripe.confirmPayment with the Elements instance; handle next_action for redirect-based methods like iDEAL or Bancontact
  6. Test method ranking across locales in Stripe test mode by simulating different customer locales
