Adds payment method type information for failed payments

What’s new

Adds support for the payment_method_type property on the last_payment_error hash on the PaymentIntent object. This property now returns the payment method type used in a failed payment attempt—for example, card, iDEAL, or SEPA Direct Debit—including for failures that occur during capture and multicapture attempts. The same information is included in the payment_intent.payment_failed event.

Impact

You can now determine which payment method type was involved in a failed payment directly from the last_payment_error property, without needing to expand the payment method or join it against separate data sources. This applies to new payment failures going forward; existing records aren’t backfilled.
