Secure context: This feature is available only in secure contexts (HTTPS), in some or all supporting browsers.

The PaymentMethodChangeEvent interface of the Payment Request API describes the paymentmethodchange event which is fired by some payment handlers when the user switches payment instruments (e.g., a user selects a "store" card to make a purchase while using Apple Pay).

Constructor

PaymentMethodChangeEvent(): Creates and returns a new PaymentMethodChangeEvent object.

Instance properties

In addition to the properties below, this interface includes properties inherited from PaymentRequestUpdateEvent.

methodDetails Read only: An object containing payment method-specific data useful when handling a payment method change. If no such information is available, this value is null.
methodName Read only: A string containing the payment method identifier, a string which uniquely identifies a particular payment method. This identifier is usually a URL used during the payment process, but may be a standardized non-URL string as well, such as basic-card. The default value is the empty string, "".
