Wallet Payments on Stripe: Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Link

Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Link all show up inside the same Payment Element or Checkout Session — there's no separate wallet-specific integration to build. What determines whether a customer actually sees a wallet button is a short list of setup details that are easy to get wrong and easy to overlook, because everything looks correct in code review and simply doesn't render for the customer.
We verify domain association on every environment (not just production — staging and preview URLs need it too, which is where most teams miss it), confirm wallet buttons render across the actual devices your customer base uses, and check that the wallet payment method type is explicitly allowed if you're using a manually configured Payment Element rather than the dynamic payment-method-types default.
None of this requires custom UI work — the value here is entirely in verification and configuration, which is exactly the kind of detail that's invisible until a customer reports "there's no Apple Pay button" and nobody can immediately explain why.
