What to know

  • Currency SGD, amounts in cents.
  • 3-D Secure is optional but recommended above S$ 1,000 and for new customers.
  • Settlement typically T+2 to T+3 through the processor.
  • GST at 9% is the merchant's responsibility; apay passes through the full amount.

Questions

Can I accept PayNow through apay?

Yes. PayNow is available through processors that support it in Singapore. The checkout shows a QR code and apay confirms the payment by webhook.

Do Apple Pay and Google Pay work in Singapore?

Yes, both are supported by the Singapore processors apay routes to. Apple Pay needs your domain registered; the wallets guide explains the steps.

Which currency do I settle in?

SGD by default. Multi-currency settlement depends on the processor or partner bank on your account.
