# Better support for accelerated checkout methods in payment customization functions

As of `2024-07`, the Payment Customization API has two new features that give you better control over accelerated checkout methods:

1. **Improved naming**: the function input graph now has more descriptive and specific names for accelerated checkout methods.
2. **Placement control**: Shopify Plus merchants will also be able to pass an optional `placements` argument in the `hide` operation, allowing them to explicitly hide accelerated checkout methods from the first or last step of checkout independently.

To learn more about payment customization functions, please refer to the [documentation](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/checkout/payments).
