BLIK
Let customers pay with BLIK. No configuration required.
BLIK is a mobile payment system that has transformed the Polish market. Created by Poland's largest banks, it's integrated directly into customers' mobile banking apps, making it an incredibly popular and trusted way to pay.
Customers authorize payments by generating a unique 6-digit code in their banking app and entering it at checkout. They then confirm the transaction in their app, providing a fast and highly secure payment flow without needing to share card details.
You don't need a BLIK account or an entity in Poland to add BLIK as a payment option with Paddle.

How it works
Customer chooses BLIK
Turn on BLIK in a couple of clicks in your Paddle dashboard. Paddle automatically presents BLIK as a payment method for customers paying in a supported country and currency.
Customer starts confirmation
If the customer is checking out on a desktop, they're prompted to scan a QR code with their phone. If they're on mobile, they're prompted to open their banking app.
They can also copy the BLIK key and paste it into their banking app manually.
Customer confirms purchase
Customer confirms purchase on their phone using their banking app. The exact process varies depending on the banking app the customer uses, but typically they'll authenticate using on-device biometrics.
Payment authorized
Payment is authorized, and Paddle Checkout shows a screen that confirms the checkout is completed, but the payment is pending capture.
Payment completed
After authorization, payment is captured. This typically happens immediately after authorization, but can take up to ten minutes.
The transaction is marked as completed in Paddle, and the customer receives a copy of their invoice by email.
