Samsung and ShopeePay have expanded their payment integrations in Singapore and Vietnam, with Malaysia next in line.
Customers in both markets can now make ShopeePay QR payments through Samsung Wallet and use Samsung Pay at checkout on Shopee.
Both features are expected to reach Malaysia in the coming months.
The partnership marks Samsung’s first multi-market collaboration in Southeast Asia to support QR payments through Samsung Wallet.
Users can scan participating merchants’ QR codes through Samsung Wallet and pay using payment methods linked to their ShopeePay accounts.
The service is available at merchants accepting ShopeePay through NETS QR in Singapore and VietQR in Vietnam.
Customers can also earn Shopee Coins on eligible purchases.
Shoppers can use ShopeePay, which supports SPayLater, to purchase Samsung products on Samsung.com.
Samsung plans to expand ShopeePay acceptance, including SPayLater, across its physical retail channels in Southeast Asia.
“By deepening our partnership with ShopeePay, Samsung is bringing our payment ecosystems closer together, giving consumers greater choice and flexibility in how they pay.
Whether shopping online or purchasing a device in-store, we want to remove friction from the experience and make it easier for consumers across Southeast Asia to use the payment options they prefer.”
said Carl Nordenberg, Vice President of Samsung Electronics Southeast Asia and Oceania.
“The value of a payment partnership lies in how well it connects with the services people already use. Partnerships help us better understand those differences and adapt our services accordingly.
Our work with Samsung reflects ShopeePay’s focus on keeping its services relevant and useful to consumers across Southeast Asia,”
said Candice Ng, Head of Regional Partnerships, ShopeePay.
Samsung is offering users in Singapore S$4 off their first ShopeePay payment through Samsung Wallet.
Customers making their first Samsung Pay transaction on Shopee will receive a 20 percent cashback voucher.
