# onpaymentmethodselected

An event handler to call when the user selects a new payment method.

## Declaration

```data
attribute EventHandler onpaymentmethodselected;
```

## Discussion

Discussion This attribute must be set to a function that accepts an events argument; for example, session.onpaymentmethodselected = function(event) {}. The event parameter contains the paymentMethod attribute. Access it like this: var myPaymentMethod = event.paymentMethod; The onpaymentmethodselected function must respond by calling completePaymentMethodSelection before the 30 second timeout, after which a message appears stating that the payment could not be completed.
