 * Hello,
    after the new update the error message “Payment_source_cannot_be_used”
   disappeared, thanks for that! Now we would like to offer only the classic PayPal
   and pay upon invoice. Is there a way to remove the other payment methods like“
   pay later”, “direct debit”, giropay…? Are only payment methods displayed that
   are activated within our PayPal account?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fremove-certain-payment-methods%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@cettrich](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cettrich/),
 * Thanks for the feedback!
    You can disable other paymemt methods via the **Hide
   Funding Source(s)** setting: [https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-paypal-payments/#disable-APMs](https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-paypal-payments/#disable-APMs)
 * PayPal automatically displays payment methods the buyer is eligible for. So buyers
   from Germany can see Später Bezahlen, giropay, Sofort, etc. while a buyer from
   the Netherlands would see iDEAL, or a US buyer may get the Venmo option.
    Selecting
   everything in the **Hide Funding Source(s)** setting results in only the PayPal
   button being loaded. I hope this helps!
 * Kind regards,
    Niklas

 * `It worked, thank you very much!
    We additionally use Germanized’s multi-level
   checkout: Personal data -> Payment methods -> Confirm (overview and buy now).
   Currently you can select PayPal and PayPal Invoice payment methods at step two(
   without pretty buttons). For example, if you select PayPal in Step 2, then in
   the third step instead of “buy now” appear the remaining payment methods such
   as PayPal and Sofort. Can we list the individual payment methods all unified 
   under step 2 payment methods, or is that not possible with a multi-step checkout?
 * Many regards
    Chris

 * Hi Chris,
 * This is not easy to achieve because of the dynamic nature of the [Alternative Payment Method](https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-paypal-payments/#alternative-payment-methods)(
   APM) buttons as they load on the fly depending on the user’s IP address.
    But
   the next feature update introduces a feature that lays the foundation to eventually
   make something like it possible.
 * PayPal currently provides all of the available APMs as a single block. So they
   are all rendered in the same iframe within the PayPal gateway. From the WooCommerce
   perspective, all the APMs, Pay Later, and PayPal are the same.
 * There will be an option to split the standard black credit card button out of
   the PayPal gateway into a separate gateway on its own. But other APMs remain 
   within the PayPal gateway for the time being.
    A little bit further down, standalone-
   APMs are on the roadmap. These would enable an individual gateway per payment
   method. But I don’t think this will happen this year.
 * Kind regards,
    Niklas

 * Since we haven’t heard back from you, I’m going to mark it as resolved.
    In case
   you’re still having problems, feel free to let us know!
