Alternative Payments

Alternative-payment tender types cover wallet apps and QR-based methods such as Alipay and PayPal. Use the Tender type string in the tenderTypes array when you need to allow or block a specific method at the terminal or location level.

Tender type	Display name	Currency code(s)	Notes
alipay	Alipay	USD	Near-instant QR payment for Chinese wallets
paypal	PayPal	USD	Customer approves via PayPal app or web
venmo	Venmo	USD	Redirect to Venmo app; QR fallback available
weChatPay	WeChat Pay	USD	Popular China-based wallet; QR scan or in-app
klarna	Klarna	USD	Buy-now-pay-later flow; supports instalments

Currency codes reflect the settlement currency returned by the /currencies endpoint. All alternative payments share the same settlement flow as card and crypto tenders: the charge is final once the provider callback confirms success.
