I'm wondering if there is a feature in core or a contrib module that will give me a veritical menu block, similar to the ones shown here, that does not reqire custom theming.
I only need a single level of menu items.

Sudipto, you may have more luck in the CiviCRM forums for this as this looks like a CiviCRM error. Many people use Stripe in Backdrop without issue, albeit it can take a bit to get setup.

Yes, that would be too much 'hacking' for me. I will stick with 'multiple values'
Expanding a field
Thank you Olaf, that is what I did. Only reason for putting it all in one 'value' was more tight display. But I will stick with this suggestion.

The Nice Menus module gives me something close to what I want, except it definitely needs a bit of theming.

Hm, without Basis (directly or as a base theme), everything should work out of the box. If you use Basis, the issue is the following definition from core/themes/basis/css/component/footer.css:
.l-footer .menu > li {float: left;}In that case, theming is necessary, I guess:
.l-footer .menu > li {float: none;}Place menu blocks or content blocks into the footer and apply to the parent container
.l-footer-inner {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}
and
.l-footer-inner > div {
width: 25%;
}
