# Arranging payment methods on the page {#en_pp_methods_order}

An article about the capability of arranging payment methods on the form to be presented to the customer in the optimal order.

## Overview {#section_rr3_3cy_txb .section}

When processing payments via Payment Page, *dynamic* or *static* ordering of the payment method buttons can be applied on the payment method selection page.

Dynamic ordering is used by default. It implies that payment methods are arranged on the page according to their relevance for the current session of opening the payment form. The following data are factored in when calculating relevance:

-   the customer's location
-   the merchant's business type
-   the frequency of various payment methods selection within the project

**Note:** It is also important to mention that when mSDKs are used, payment methods are sorted based on the data received from mobile devices while in all other cases it is the data received from all other devices but mobile.

At the same time, if needed, you can choose to have payment method buttons arranged in a fixed order\(for instance, alphabetically\) on the payment method selection page. To set up this option, contact the technical support.

## Use cases {#section_s54_3cy_txb .section}

Here are several examples to compare the options.

-   If a customer from Portugal places an order on the website of the merchant with business operations in Europe, then applying the option of dynamic ordering arranges the methods from more relevant in Portugal for the merchant's business type and specific project \(Multibanco and Open Banking in Portugal\) to less relevant \(Astropay and Open banking in France\).
-   If a customer from France places an order on the website of the same merchant, then the methods are arranged from more relevant in France for the merchant's business type and specific project \(Open banking in France, Google Pay\) to less relevant \(Astropay, Open banking in Portugal, Multibanco\).
-   If static ordering is applied, then for both cases described above payment methods are arranged in a fixed order.
