Accept a payment using Kakao Pay in KoreaBeta
Caution
Stripe automatically presents your customers payment method options by evaluating their currency, payment method restrictions, and other parameters. We recommend that you configure your payment methods from the Stripe Dashboard using the instructions in Accept a payment.
If you want to continue manually configuring the payment methods you present to your customers with Checkout, use this guide. Otherwise, update your integration to configure payment methods in the Dashboard.
Integrating with Kakao Pay enables South Korea-based customers to pay using this popular local payment method.
When a customer makes a payment, they are redirected to the checkout page of our local processor partner to authenticate and authorize the payment. After the customer authorizes the payment, Stripe redirects them back to your site.
