Accept a payment with Scalapay

Learn how to set up your integration with Scalapay.

Checkout

Elements

Direct API

Scalapay is a single-use payment method that lets customers pay in 3 or 4 installments. Customers are redirected from your website or app, authorize the payment with Scalapay, then return to your website or app. You get immediate notification of whether the payment succeeded or failed.

Determine compatibility

To support Scalapay payments, a Checkout Session must satisfy all of the following conditions:

Prices for all line items must be in the same currency.
If you have line items in different currencies, create separate Checkout Sessions for each currency.

Accept a payment

Note

Build an integration to accept a payment with Checkout before using this guide.

This guide describes how to enable Scalapay and shows the differences between accepting a card payment and using Scalapay.

Enable Scalapay as a payment method

Enable Scalapay in your Dashboard. With dynamic payment methods, Stripe automatically displays Scalapay to eligible customers. If you’re currently specifying payment_method_types, see the migration guide.

When creating a new Checkout Session, make sure all line_items use the same currency.

Create a PaymentIntent on your server with an amount and currency. In the latest version of the API, specifying the automatic_payment_methods parameter is optional because Stripe enables its functionality by default. You can manage payment methods from the Dashboard. Stripe handles the return of eligible payment methods based on factors such as the transaction’s amount, currency, and payment flow. Make sure Scalapay is turned on in the payment methods settings page.

Fulfill your orders
