2.1 Samsung Pay Integration Life Cycle

Partner Onboarding is the formal process through which third-party organizations—such as banks, card issuers, merchants, payment gateways, or fintechs—are authorized and enabled to integrate their services with the Samsung Pay ecosystem.

Let’s first understand the Samsung Pay Integration Lifecycle, structured into the five key phases based on the process you’ve outlined. This will help developers, project managers, and stakeholders understand the full journey of integrating Samsung Pay into their application.

Integrating Samsung Pay involves the following steps that guide partners—from registration to release—ensuring a secure, compliant, and user-friendly payment experience.
