# Payment method configuration

This page describes how to configure which payment methods are displayed to the customer in a payment form and the order in which they are displayed.

Rules are configurations that are triggered by events, such as a customer requesting a payment. When a customer requests a payment, the ready to pay event is triggered, and depending on the configuration in the rule, the payment method configuration is applied. Creating payment method configurations adds rules to the ruleset of the [Ready to pay requested](/docs/automations/event-types#ready-to-pay-requested) event.

## Configure methods to display in payment forms

This process describes how to create payment method configuration. Payment method configurations are created as rules that are added to the ruleset of the [Ready to pay requested](/docs/automations/event-types#ready-to-pay-requested) event.

  - Create a bind - binds always execute regardless of rule based events    1. Press **Create bind**.
    2. In the **Bind name** field, enter a name for your bind.
4. Optionally, specify conditions for when the payment method configuration is displayedFor example, to display the payment method configuration only when the customer is in the United States, select `RiskMetadata > Country` as the filter, then select `is in` as the condition, then select the `United States` list.

    - To ensure that a specific field is empty, or not empty: select **is empty** or any other empty filter type. For more information, see [Empty criteria](/docs/automations/create-a-value-list#empty-conditions).

## Copy payment method configuration rules into a draft ruleset

Each event maintains a list of rules and binds that are to be executed under specified conditions when the event occurs. These lists are called rulesets. Rulesets are executed in the order they are listed on the event. Draft rulesets provide a means of testing and comparing changes with the active ruleset before publishing. To edit draft rulesets, see [Edit draft rulesets](/docs/automations/rules-and-binds#edit-draft-rulesets).

Use this process to copy payment method configurations into a draft ruleset of the [Ready to pay requested](/docs/automations/event-types#ready-to-pay-requested) event.

1. In the left navigation bar, press .
2. In the **Payment forms** section, press **Payment method configuration**.
3. Press **Copy into draft**.
4. In the **Name** field, enter a name for the draft ruleset.
5. In the **Description** field, enter a description for the draft ruleset.
6. Optionally, to designate the current ruleset as the starting point for your draft ruleset, select the **Copy current ruleset** checkbox.
7. Press **Save ruleset**.
