# Accept a payment using local cards in South Korea

Enable your users to pay using locally issued cards from South Korea.

# Checkout


Integrating with South Korean cards lets South Korea-based customers pay using all local issuer-branded cards issued by South Korean card issuers.

When a customer makes a payment, they’re 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.

## Accept a South Korean card payment

Enable South Korean cards by making the following updates to your integration.

When creating a [Checkout Session](https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions.md), you must do the following:

- [Enable Korean cards](https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/payment_methods) in your Dashboard. Stripe automatically displays Korean cards to eligible customers using [dynamic payment methods](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/payment-methods/dynamic-payment-methods.md). If you currently specify `payment_method_types`, see the [migration guide](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/dashboard-payment-methods.md).
- Make sure all `line_items` use the `krw` currency.

## Test your integration

While testing your Checkout integration, select **Local cards** and click **Pay**. This redirects you to a Stripe-hosted page where you have the choice to authorize or fail the payment. If you authorize the payment, the PaymentIntent switches from `requires_action` to `succeeded`. Failing the test payment makes the PaymentIntent switch from `requires_action` to `requires_payment_method`. Learn more about how to [test](https://docs.stripe.com/testing.md#redirects) redirect-based payment methods.
