What is Samsung Pay?
Updated this week

Samsung Pay is a digital wallet platform for Android smartphones, allowing you to authorize an online payment. A customer can accept online payments through Samsung Pay with their Samsung device.

Some of the main benefits of offering Samsung Pay as a payment method are:

  • Safe & Secure: Samsung Pay does not send the user’s debit or credit card number with your payment. Instead, a unique Token number is used to represent the actual card. So, the card details always stay safe

  • Easy to use: No need for the users to carry credit or debit cards. They should have installed only the Samsung App on their mobile
