The default value depends on your integration: - If you pass allowedShippingCountries, phoneNumberRequired, shippingAddressRequired, emailRequired, applePay, lineItems, or business when creating the Express Checkout Element, billingAddressRequired defaults to false. - Otherwise, billingAddressRequired defaults to true. You can explicitly set billingAddressRequired to true or false to override the default behavior. We highly recommend that you collect the billing address because it can be used to perform address verifications and block fraudulent payments. - business Provide information about your business that's displayed in the Express Checkout Element. This information will be retrieved from your Stripe account if it's not provided. - name The name of your business. Your business name is used to signal to the customer who they're paying. Klarna always retrieves the business name from your Stripe account, even when this option is set. - buttonHeight By default, the height of the buttons are 44px. You can override this to specify a custom button height in the range of 40px-55px. - buttonTheme Specify the preferred button theme to use.

Default is 0, meaning unlimited. - maxRows Defines the maximum number of rows the Express Checkout Element can use to render.

You can't specify both overflow: 'never' and set maxRows to a number greater than 0. - lineItems An array of LineItem objects. These LineItems are shown as line items in the payment interface, if line items are supported. You can represent discounts as negative amount LineItems. - name The name of the line item surfaced to the customer in the payment interface. - amount The amount in the currency's subunit (for example, cents, yen, etc.). - paymentMethods By default, the Express Checkout Element displays all payment methods possible as a result of your Dashboard configuration. This is the auto behavior. If you don't want to show a given payment method as a payment option, set its property in paymentMethods to never. - amazonPay - applePay Apple Pay has additional configurations that determine when Stripe can show it. By default, Apple Pay shows when the customer is using a supported platform and when we determine it's advantageous for your conversion. This is the auto behavior. If you want to always show Apple Pay when the customer is using a supported platform, you can set its property in paymentMethods to always. This causes Apple Pay to be shown in supported browsers even when the customer isn't logged in to Apple Pay, resulting in a sign-in flow. Apple Pay on non-Safari desktop browsers is only supported when its property in paymentMethods is set to always. - googlePay Google Pay has additional configurations that determine when Stripe can show it. By default, Google Pay shows when the customer is using a supported platform and when we determine it's advantageous for your conversion. This is the auto behavior. If you want to always show Google Pay when the customer is using a supported platform, you can set its property in paymentMethods to always. This causes Google Pay to be shown in supported browsers even when the customer isn't logged in to Google Pay, resulting in a sign-in flow. - link - paypal - klarna - paymentMethodOrder By default, the Express Checkout Element uses a dynamic ordering that optimizes payment method display for each user. You can override the default order in which payment methods display in the Express Checkout Element with a list of payment method types. If there are payment methods that will show that are not specified in paymentMethodOrder, they display after the payment methods you specify. If you specify payment methods that will not show, they are ignored. - phoneNumberRequired Collect the customer's phone number by setting this option to true. PayPal doesn't provide a phone number, even when this option is set to true. Google Pay makes a best effort to return the phone number registered to the wallet, but doesn't guarantee it will be provided in all cases. - shippingAddressRequired Collect the customer's shipping address by setting this option to true. If true, you must also supply a valid shippingRates option in either the create, click, or shippingaddresschange events. - shippingRates An array of ShippingRate objects.
