# Display payment methods by location

This tutorial describes how to configure which payment methods are displayed to the customer at payment, based on their geographic location. You can also prioritize the customer's active payment methods.

This automation uses the [Ready to pay requested](/docs/automations/event-types#gateway-account-requested) event and the [Adjust ready to pay](/docs/automations/action-types#adjust-ready-to-pay) action.

To complete this tutorial, an active gateway is required. If you are testing in the sandbox environment, a test payment gateway called `TestProcessor` is already configured. For more information, see [Set up a payment gateway](/docs/settings/set-up-a-gateway).
