Troubleshooting
Message components, console warnings, and errors include configuration attributes and object validations. Configuration properties have distinct validation checks for input formatting and values. For a full list of accepted options, see the Pay Later messaging reference.
If validation fails, the developer console in your web browser displays warning messages that inform you which property is invalid and what you should do to resolve the issue. Depending on the message type, the library attempts to fall back to the default values.
