Samsung Pay

Let customers pay with Samsung Pay. No configuration required.

Samsung Pay comes preinstalled on Samsung smartphones, the most popular brand of phone in Korea. It's a popular way to pay in-store and increasingly used for online payments, too.

Customers authenticate and confirm payments using the Samsung Pay app, making it a quick and secure way to pay.

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

Test Samsung Pay

You can test Korean payment methods using your Paddle sandbox account, but you can't test Samsung Pay directly yet.

To test Korean payment methods:

  1. Turn on Samsung Pay by enabling Korean payment methods for your Paddle account.

  2. Open a checkout for a one-time item that's priced in KRW (South Korean Won).

  3. Pick Korea as the country on the first screen of checkout, then enter an email address.

  4. Select local payment methods as the payment method.

  5. Follow the prompts to complete purchase.

Paddle Checkout only presents Korean payment methods for items priced in South Korean Won, where the customer address is in Korea.
