Changing the display order of payment methods (shortcode checkout)

With Stripe 8.5.0, we have introduced the ability to change the payment method order on the shortcode checkout page when the new checkout experience is enabled. To do it, follow these steps:

1. Make sure the "Legacy Checkout Experience" is disabled
2. On the payment method listing page (wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-settings&tab=checkout&section=stripe&panel=methods), click the "Change display order" button

3. You should be able to drag and reorder the methods as you wish

4. Click the "Save display order" button when you are done

5. Now, as a shopper, add a product to your cart and go to the shortcode checkout page
6. Confirm that the available payment methods on the checkout page follow the order saved on the settings page

Customizing the title and description of the payment methods

Customization of the payment method display was also introduced in this version for the new checkout experience. To do it, follow these steps:

1. Make sure the "Legacy Checkout Experience" is disabled
2. In settings, you should see a "Customize" button beside each payment method on the payment methods list page

3. Click the "Customize" button, change the title and the description of a method, and click "Save changes"

4. Reload the page and confirm that the changes persist
5. As a shopper, add a product to the cart and go to the checkout page
6. Confirm that the payment methods show the saved title and description (on both shortcode and block versions)
