# Form Subcomponents: Payment Method Selector Field

The Payment Method Selector Field subcomponent can only be used within the [Form component](/components/component-library/modular-checkout-components/component-checkout-form.md).

The Payment Method Selector Field provides a way for customers to select their payment method. This subcomponent should always be used with the [Payment Manager subcomponent](/components/component-library/modular-checkout-components/modular-checkout-subcomponents-in-form/form-subcomponents-payment-manager-field.md), which will capture the customer's payment information. These 2 subcomponents should be used instead of the [Payment Fields](/components/component-library/modular-checkout-components/modular-checkout-subcomponents-in-form/form-subcomponents-payment-field.md) subcomponent when you want to show data in between the selector and the payment input.

If you're using conditional subcomponents, the "Payment method selected" condition will use what the customer selects in this subcomponent.
