# Payment Methods

Retrieve the payment methods a store accepts. The Payment Methods API is split across two versions:

* **V3** — current. Returns each accepted method's identifier, supported settings, and capabilities ([V3 reference](/developer/api-reference/rest/admin/payments/methods/v3)).
* **V2** — deprecated. Returns a similar list using the legacy payload shape. New integrations should not use V2 ([V2 reference](/developer/api-reference/rest/admin/payments/methods/v2)).

Use V3 for any new integration. The V2 endpoint is preserved for compatibility with existing integrations that haven't yet migrated.
