# 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.
