Samsung Electronics and ShopeePay have announced an expanded partnership to streamline payment processes for consumers across Southeast Asia.
This collaboration, marking Samsung’s first support for QR payments in the region, allows users in Singapore and Vietnam to make in-store QR payments with ShopeePay via Samsung Wallet and use Samsung Pay at checkout on Shopee. The integration is set to launch in Malaysia in the coming months.
The partnership aims to enhance convenience by allowing Samsung Wallet users to scan QR codes at participating merchants and pay using linked ShopeePay accounts, eliminating the need to switch between apps.
Additionally, consumers can earn Shopee Coins on eligible purchases. Online shoppers also benefit from the expanded payment options, with Samsung Pay now available on Shopee and ShopeePay supporting purchases on Samsung.com.
Carl Nordenberg, Vice President of Samsung Electronics Southeast Asia and Oceania, stated, “By deepening our partnership with ShopeePay, Samsung is bringing our payment ecosystems closer together, giving consumers greater choice and flexibility in how they pay.”
To celebrate the launch, Singapore users can enjoy $4 off their first payment with ShopeePay through Samsung Wallet, whilst first-time Samsung Pay users on Shopee receive a 20% cashback voucher.
This initiative reflects ShopeePay’s commitment to maintaining relevant and useful services, as highlighted by Candice Ng, Head of Regional Partnerships at ShopeePay.
