Configure smart routing for NaverPay
When you configure NaverPay through Adyen, smart routing for the KRW currency is automatically enabled. Check the Smart Routing settings, and if any other gateway is already designated for the KRW currency, adjust the Smart Routing settings manually to allocate NaverPay to it.

- Go to Settings > Configure Chargebee > Payment Gateways.
- Click Manage Rules under Smart Routing.
- Go to the NaverPay section and click Add a Gateway for KRW. If you already have a payment gateway assigned to it, click Edit.
- From the Choose a payment gateway drop-down menu, select the relevant Adyen instance with NaverPay enabled.
- Click Save.
Enable NaverPay to pay for subscriptions
NaverPay is a one-time payment method and cannot be used for recurring payments. To use it for subscriptions, configure your Chargebee site to allow all one-time payment methods for subscriptions.
Follow these steps to enable one-time payment methods for subscriptions:
- In the Chargebee app, go to Settings > Configure Chargebee > Checkout & Self-Serve Portal.
- Select the Configuration tab and enable Allow customers to pay for subscriptions with payment methods that only support one-time payments.
Checkout flow
Your customer performs the following steps during checkout using NaverPay via Adyen:
- Initiate checkout and proceed to the payment step.
- Select NaverPay as the payment method.
- You are redirected to the NaverPay app to authorise the payment.
- Confirm the payment within the NaverPay app.
- Once payment is authorised, you are redirected back to the merchant's website.
Testing
NaverPay does not have a sandbox test environment. Before going live:
- Ensure NaverPay is enabled in your Adyen account.
- Verify webhook configuration is complete (mandatory for payment status updates).
- Perform end-to-end testing using a real NaverPay-enabled bank account and a mobile device with the NaverPay app installed.
Reconciliation
For financial reconciliation between Chargebee and Adyen:
- Use the Chargebee transaction field id_at_gateway, which maps to the pspReference in Adyen.
Follow these steps to reconcile transactions:
- Retrieve the id_at_gateway value from the Chargebee transaction details.
- Locate the corresponding pspReference in Adyen reports.
- Match transactions using this reference.
