Venmo and PayPal are now treated as separate payment methods
UpdateUnverifiedAdded Sep 24, 2026
Starting in API version 2026-01 , Venmo and PayPal are treated as separate payment methods when using payment customization functions. Previously, hiding PayPal's express checkout placement would automatically hide Venmo as well. With this change, you can now hide or show Venmo independently from PayPal in your payment customization logic.
