stripe payment element not rendering dark theme

The actual problem

Custom checkout themes hide or clip the Payment Element so buyers can’t complete card entry.

Do this

  1. Load checkout on mobile Safari/Chrome; confirm Payment Element fields are visible.
  2. Inspect CSS overflow/z-index on the payment container.
  3. Test Stripe’s appearance API with a known-good theme before custom CSS.
  4. Place a $1 live test charge after any theme deploy.
