Naver Pay

Let customers pay with Naver Pay. No configuration required.

Naver Pay is a digital wallet initially introduced as a payment option for Naver Shopping, one of the most popular online stores in Korea. It's now a widely accepted payment method in the region.

Customers can earn Naver Pay points for spending, which encourages people to choose Naver Pay at checkout — especially those in their twenties and thirties.

You don't need to set up a bank account in Korea to add Naver Pay as a payment option with Paddle.
