Kakao Pay via Stripe

Introduction

Chargebee now supports Kakao Pay via the Stripe payment gateway, allowing South Korea-based customers to pay with this method.

When a customer chooses Kakao Pay:

• They are redirected to a local processing partner (NICEPAY) for authentication and payment authorization.
• After completing the authorization, Stripe redirects the customer back to your site.

This integration enhances checkout flexibility and improves conversion for businesses using the Chargebee platform.

Key Features

• Supports both one-time (say, one-time charges) and recurring (subscriptions) payments.
• Supports KRW (South Korean Won) currency.
• Compatible with:
  • In-app Checkout
  • Full-page Checkout
  • Self-Serve Portal
  • Chargebee.js
  • APIs

Prerequisites

Before configuring Kakao Pay via Stripe in Chargebee:

Configuring Webhooks

To ensure your Chargebee–Stripe integration functions correctly, set up webhooks in Stripe.

Webhooks allow Chargebee to receive real-time notifications for key events, such as payment refunds.

For this integration to function correctly, the following event must be enabled:

• charge.refund.updated

These events notify Chargebee about the creation, failure, or update of a refund transaction in Stripe, ensuring accurate reflection within your Chargebee account.
