Subscribe offers support globally allowing you to expand into multiple markets. From North America where credit, debit, and gift card payments along with digital wallets such as PayPal, Apple Pay, and Amazon Payments cover most of the transactions to Europe where credit cards, ECP and Direct Debit are popular all the way to regional options such as Boleto in Latin America and Razor (MOLpay) in Malaysia. Subscribe also supports payment initiatives serving unbanked populations such as mobile carrier billing, gift cards, virtual currencies, and local merchant accepted payments.

## Payment Method Support

Subscribe supports the following payment methods:

| Payment Method | Description |
| - | - |
| Credit/Debit Card | - Subscribe supports all credit/Debit cards that your payment provider supports. - Subscribe vaults credit card information allowing you to be complaint with PCI regulations. |
| Virtual Currencies - Tokens | - Subscribe allows you to accept payment in your own virtual currency such as incentive points, loyalty rewards, or flyer miles. - The tokens that you grant a customer are associated with a customer account, each token type having a separate balance. For example, a customer account can have separate balances for downloads, storage, and logins, which are displayed as payment methods on the customer's account page. |
| ACH and ECP | - Allows consumers to pay directly from their account via Electronic Check Payment (ECP) or Automated Clearing House (ACH). Both can be used for recurring or one-time transactions. You can also use ECP to pay your vendors or affiliates in real-time transactions. |
| SEPA- European Direct Debit (EDD) | - This payment method is a direct debit from a banking account. Subscribe supports EDD in Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands with Chase Paymentech as the payment provider. **Note:** The German EDD requires that a customer complete a mandate authorizing the merchant to debit the bank account. |
| United Kingdom Direct Debit (UK DD) | - This payment method is a direct debit from a banking account, and requires the customer to complete a mandate authorizing the merchant to debit the customer’s bank account. UK DD uses the British pound (GBP) currency. |
| PayPal | - Subscribe supports real-time transactions through PayPal Express Checkout. Subscribe also supports PayPal reference transactions for recurring subscription billing through e-wallet, whereby PayPal maintains the customer’s payment information, such as the credit card number, checking account number, and bank routing number. - Subscribe also supports Paypal through Braintree payment provider as a supported payment method. - When customers make a purchase on your site, they are redirected to PayPal’s login page to complete the payment information. Once the customers' interaction is completed, they are redirected back to your site to continue the process. - For recurring bills with reference transactions, the customer needs to visit the PayPal site only once when setting up the subscription. The subsequent renewal transactions require no action on the customer’s part. |
| Venmo | Subscribe supports Venmo payment method via Braintree Payment Provider. A single API request sends through the Authorization request. A token is vaulted for the Payment Method. |
| Apple Pay | - Subscribe supports Apple Pay payment option allowing your customers to make secure purchases using a credit or debit card associated with a supported Apple mobile device. Businesses can accept Apple Pay on newer versions of iOS and Safari, making it quick and easy for customers to buy on both mobile and the web. Behind the scenes, Apple uses a tokenization service and encrypts the customer's card number, assigning it a device primary account number (DPAN) . Vindicia Subscribe and the processing banks then use this DPAN in place of the real card number in order to securely handle one-time and recurring transactions. |
| Google Pay | - Subscribe supports Google Pay Payment option allowing your customers to make secure purchases using a credit or debit card stored in their Google account. A `paymentMethodToken` is saved behind the scenes, and is used by Vindicia Subscribe for secure processing. |
| Amazon Pay | - Subscribe supports Amazon’s “Login and Pay with Amazon” payment method for both one-time and recurring payment transactions. Unlike Credit Cards and most other electronic pay methods, this payment option requires an initial interaction for approval by the consumer using web-page widgets provided to your front-end purchase flow by Amazon. |
| Hosted Pages | - A hosted page is an external third-party page where the purchase transaction can be completed securely. - Subscribe supports Hosted pages for the following payment providers: - Ingenico Global Collect Hosted Merchant Link payment type: - MoneyBooker - Ukash - iDEAL - AliPay - Boleto Bancario - Ingenico Connect Hosted page payment support: - Boleto Bancario - Credit card - Paypal - PayU Wallets Payment: - Airtel - FreeCharge - JioMoney - Ola Money - Pay Zapp - PhonePe - PayTM: - Credit/Debit card - PayTM wallet - Net Banking - JusPay: - Credit/Debit card - Amazon Pay - PayTM wallet - Mobiwik - PayPal - UPI - Skrill: Direct money transfer between users that is a popular payment method in Europe - Razor (MOLPay): Allows one-time or recurring charges via a Malaysian payment gateway for the region. |

| External Billing | - This Payment method should be used when integrating with Amdocs Billing Systems. The Payment method will hold the different fields required to identify the customer on the external billing system. |
| Boleto Bancário | - Subscribe supports this Payment method, primarily used in Brazil. It requires that the customer first provide you with a fiscal number. The payment provider then creates a payment slip with that number and other customer details. Finally, the customer presents the payment slip to the bank to complete the transaction. |
