For example, displaying Apple Pay at the top of the page and card entry at the bottom of the page.                 | A merchant that has an existing pay by card/`Click to Pay`button that they want to launch into the payment UI using a sidebar view.                                                 | A merchant that wants to embed `Unified Checkout` payment components directly into their page without the standard header.
