Accept a PayNow payment
Accept payments with PayNow, a funds transfer service popular in Singapore.
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.
PayNow is a single-use payment method. Customers pay with PayNow by scanning the QR code that they see during Checkout. Completing the payment redirects customers back to your website.
Determine compatibility
A Checkout Session must satisfy all of the following conditions to support PayNow payments:
- Prices for all line items must be in the same currency, and must be in
sgd
. - You can only use one-time line items (PayNow Checkout Sessions don’t support recurring subscription plans).

In test mode, scan the QR code with a QR code scanning application on your mobile device. The QR code payload contains a URL which brings you to a Stripe-hosted PayNow test payment page where you can either authorize or fail the test payment.
In live mode, you will be able to scan the QR code using a preferred banking app or payment app that supports PayNow.
