What's inside Toss Payments

  1. Overview of BrandPay simplified payment service

    v2
    BrandPay is a solution that enables merchants to implement their own simplified payment system. It allows customers to register a payment method (card or account) once and complete future purchases using only a password. Key security features include a proprietary secure keypad and a Fraud Detection System (FDS) that analyzes transaction and customer patterns to block suspicious activity.

  2. Overview of Automatic Payment (Billing) API Integration

    The Automatic Payment API allows developers to create subscription services by registering a customer's card once to obtain a billingKey. Once the billing key is issued, subsequent payments can be processed without further customer authentication.

    Key Integration Flow:

    1. Issue Billing Key (Server): Request a billing key using card details and store it in your database. Note that identity verification must be implemented by the developer when using the API method.
    2. Execute Payment (Server): Use the stored billing key to trigger payments at desired intervals or specific times. Scheduling logic (e.g., cron jobs) must be implemented by the developer.

    Warning: Payment Window SDK v1 is deprecated; SDK v2 is recommended.

  3. Overview of BrandPay simplified payment service

    BrandPay allows merchants to implement a proprietary simplified payment system. Once a customer registers a card or bank account, they can complete subsequent purchases using only a password. The service includes built-in security features such as an E2EE (End-to-End Encryption) security keypad and an FDS (Fraud Detection System) to detect and block suspicious transactions.

  4. Overview of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)

    AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a symmetric key encryption algorithm adopted by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2001. It is based on the Rijndael algorithm and serves as a global security standard.

    Key technical characteristics:

    • Symmetric Key: The same key is used for both encryption and decryption.
    • Key Lengths: Supports 128-bit, 192-bit, and 256-bit keys. Longer keys provide higher security.
    • Block Size: Fixed at 128 bits.
    • Modes of Operation: Compatible with various modes including ECB (Electronic Codebook), CBC (Cipher Block Chaining), and GCM (Galois/Counter Mode).

  5. Overview of Bank Transfer payment methods

    Bank transfer allows customers to pay by withdrawing funds in real-time from their bank accounts. It is generally more cost-effective for merchants than card payments. There are two primary methods:

    1. Quick Bank Transfer (Quick Account Transfer): A simplified service provided by Toss (Viva Republica) using a phone number and password. It supports only personal accounts owned by the user.
    2. BankPay: A traditional service via the Korea Financial Telecommunications Network (KFTC) that requires security cards, OTPs, or joint certificates. It is used for corporate accounts.

  6. Overview of Toss Payments Payout Service

    The Payout service (지급대행) allows open markets to delegate the settlement of sales to sellers. Toss Payments handles the disbursement of funds to sellers on behalf of the open market. Due to risk review procedures (such as KYC), this service requires enhanced security. All POST requests for the Payout service must use ENCRYPTION security, which involves encrypting the Request Body as a JWE using a security key provided by Toss Payments.

  7. Overview of Card Types

    Different card types have distinct operational characteristics:

    • Credit Card: Based on credit; payment is deferred to a later date.
    • Check Card: Immediate deduction from a linked bank account; requires sufficient balance.
    • Debit Card: Similar to check cards but uses the Korea Financial Telecommunications & Clearings Institute (KFTC) network, resulting in time-of-day usage restrictions and limited merchant acceptance.
    • Prepaid Card: Uses pre-charged funds (e.g., Gift Cards). Often includes auto-recharge systems linked to bank accounts.
    • PLCC (Private Label Credit Card): Co-branded cards developed between a card issuer and a specific company to provide specialized benefits; risks and operations are shared between the issuer and the company.

  8. Overview of International Easy Payment Integration

    v2

    Toss Payments allows integration of various international payment methods without individual contracts for each provider. These are categorized into two integration types:

    1. Synchronous Payments (e.g., PayPal): The client requests payment, authenticates, and then the server calls the Payment Approval API. Results are confirmed via successUrl and failUrl.
    2. Asynchronous Payments (e.g., Alipay, Southeast Asian wallets): Authentication and approval are requested simultaneously. After the request, the user is redirected to a pendingUrl. Final payment results must be confirmed via the PAYMENT_STATUS_CHANGED webhook, as the process can take up to 10 minutes.

  9. Overview of Toss Payments Payout Service

    v2
    The Payout service allows open market operators to delegate the payment of funds to sellers (onboarded merchants) to Toss Payments. This removes the need for the operator to manage individual settlements and improves cash flow management.

  10. Overview of Toss Payments SDK v2

    Toss Payments SDK v2 consolidates previously separate SDKs for Payment Widget, BrandPay, and Payment Window into a single, unified SDK. This version provides a consistent interface across all payment services, meaning parameter types and behaviors are standardized, making it easier for developers to integrate multiple services after completing the first one. It also features improved error handling with clearer error codes and messages for missing parameters or incorrect types to accelerate debugging.

  11. Overview of Cross-Platform App Development

    Cross-platform apps allow developers to create applications for both Android and iOS using a single source code base. This contrasts with native development, where separate codebases (e.g., Kotlin for Android and Swift for iOS) and different IDEs (Android Studio and Xcode) are required for each operating system.

  12. Overview of Toss Payments Payout Service

    The Payout (지급대행) service allows open market operators (e.g., e-commerce platforms, mobile payment services, game payment systems) to have Toss Payments distribute sales revenue to their individual sellers (sub-malls) on their behalf. This service simplifies seller management and settlement processes, removing the need for the market operator to handle individual disbursements manually.
