## Error

```text
payment_method_types_no_longer_supported
```

## Symptom
`stripe.paymentIntents.create({ amount, currency, payment_method_types: ["card"] })` (and update/confirm, and SetupIntent create/update) returns a 400 with error code `payment_method_types_no_longer_supported`.

## Cause
API version `2026-09-30.endive` removed `payment_method_types` as a writable parameter on PaymentIntents (create, update, confirm) and SetupIntents (create, update). It remains as a read-only property that shows the computed list. stripe-node 23.0.0 pins endive.

## Fix
```diff
 stripe.paymentIntents.create({
   amount: 2000, currency: "usd",
-  payment_method_types: ["card"],
+  // dynamic payment methods (Dashboard settings) by default, or:
+  allowed_payment_method_types: ["card"],
 })
```
`excluded_payment_method_types` removes specific types from the dynamic set. Incompatible types in `allowed_payment_method_types` are filtered out silently rather than causing an error.

## Verify
Create the intent in test mode with the endive API version and read `pi.payment_method_types` on the response.
