# Stripe.js Endive: Elements no longer accepts the paymentMethodTypes option

Markdown version of <https://harbyn.com/changes/stripe/2026-09-30-endive-removes-support-for-the-payment-method-types-option-in-elements>.

Breaking change - Stripe. low severity. In effect. History: recorded after the fact.

In the Endive release of Stripe.js, setting paymentMethodTypes when creating Elements without an intent or calling elements.update() throws an integration error. Use allowedPaymentMethodTypes or dynamic payment methods instead. Stripe.js versions through Dahlia still support paymentMethodTypes.

The deadline passed on Sep 30, 2026.
