The Payment Method Configuration setting gives you greater control over how different payment options (such as credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or localized bank transfers) are globally handled during payment collection.
By default, PayPack uses your Stripe account’s default configuration. However, if you have tailored specific payment experiences for different regions, brands, or business units within Stripe, this setting allows you to point PayPack to a specific custom payment method configuration.
How it Works
When configuring this setting, you can choose between two paths:
Default Configuration: PayPack will automatically use the standard payment method layout and rules set up globally in your Stripe Dashboard.
Custom Configuration: You can input a specific Stripe Payment Method Configuration ID. PayPack will then look to that exact setup to determine which payment methods to display to your customers.
Requirements & Limitations
Before changing this setting, please keep the following rules in mind:
Must be Active: PayPack can only pull configurations that are currently marked as enabled in your Stripe Dashboard.
Stripe Connect Platform Configurations: This setting does not support payment method configurations created at the Stripe Connect platform level.
For a deeper dive into how Stripe handles these profiles and how to create them, please refer to the official Stripe Documentation on Payment Method Configurations.
Apple Pay & Google Pay
To offer Apple Pay and Google Pay, Stripe requires you to explicitly register your payment method domains in your Stripe Dashboard. Because PayPack operates within your ERP, this domain will be your NetSuite account's specific sub-domain URL.
-
Copy your NetSuite sub-domain: Log in to your NetSuite account and copy the base URL from your browser's address bar.
- Access Stripe payment method domains: Log in to your Stripe Dashboard. Navigate to Settings, find the Payments section, and select Payment method domains.
-
Register the domain: Click to add a new domain, paste the NetSuite sub-domain you copied in Step 1, and save. Stripe will automatically apply this to your active wallet payment methods.
See Stripe Docs: Register domains for payment methods for additional instructions.
Environment Check: Be sure to register the correct URL for your current environment. If you are setting up a test environment, use your NetSuite sandbox sub-domain. When going live, ensure you add your NetSuite production sub-domain. If the wrong sub-domain is registered, the Apple Pay and Google Pay options will fail to load.
