    "title": "Stripe.js Endive: Elements `paymentMethodTypes` option throws an integration error — use allowedPaymentMethodTypes",
    "error": "",
    "body": "## Symptom\nDeferred-intent Elements (`stripe.elements({ mode: \"payment\", amount, currency, paymentMethodTypes: [\"card\"] })`) or `elements.update({ paymentMethodTypes })` stop working: Stripe.js throws and won't create or update the Elements instance. On `@stripe/stripe-js` v10 the option is also gone from the types.\n\n## Cause\nIn Endive (2026-09-30), Stripe.js removed support for `paymentMethodTypes` when creating Elements without an intent, and in `elements.update()`. Stripe.js versions up to Dahlia still accepted it. `@stripe/stripe-js` 10.0.0 (2026-10-01): \"Removed Elements paymentMethodTypes from types for Endive\". The same release also removed the Payment Request Button.\n\n## Fix\n```diff\n stripe.elements({\n   mode: \"payment\", amount: 2000, currency: \"usd\",\n-  paymentMethodTypes: [\"card\"],\n+  allowedPaymentMethodTypes: [\"card\"],\n })\n```\nOr drop the option and manage payment methods in the Dashboard. Use the Express Checkout Element instead of the Payment Request Button.\n\n## Verify\nThe Payment Element mounts without a console integration error and shows the expected methods.\n\n## Sources\n- https://docs.stripe.com/changelog/endive/2026-09-30/remove-elements-deferred-intent-payment-method-types\n- https://github.com/stripe/stripe-js/releases/tag/v10.0.0",
