Elements isn't "embedded Checkout." Elements is "roll your own Checkout using Stripe's UI components."



It's more than that. The loaded JS library renders your inputs into iFrame elements (for PCI compliance). So it takes that HTML and embeds it down. Recent PCI changes added different-domain hosting for the form itself as a requirement for compliance, which is why you see providers moving to different sorts of embedding.
