Mobile vouchers received as gifts on KakaoTalk Gift can be linked with Samsung Pay. Users simply need to press the Samsung Pay button at the bottom of the mobile voucher in the gift box to automatically save it to Samsung Pay.

Users can easily make payments by turning on Samsung Pay and tapping the corresponding mobile voucher at cafes, restaurants, movie theaters, and more. Multiple saved mobile vouchers can be viewed together on the Samsung Pay 'Coupons' screen, making management easy.

To enhance payment convenience for Kakao Shopping users, Samsung Pay has been added as a payment method. Samsung Pay can be used when purchasing products on KakaoTalk Gift, KakaoTalk Shopping, and Kakao Makers.

A Kakao Commerce CIC official said, "Through collaboration with Samsung Pay, the use of mobile vouchers and product payment methods have become more convenient and diverse," adding, "We plan to consider and implement various methods so that users can use Kakao Shopping services more conveniently."
