Samsung Pay comes preinstalled on Samsung smartphones, the most popular brand of phone in South 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 South Korea to add Samsung Pay as a payment option with Paddle.
