Additional Information
Integration options
There are two integration options:
- Using a Toss-hosted payment page
- By-passing the HPP and redirecting straight to one of the supported banks
Using a Toss-hosted payment page
If specin.cardissuer is not provided, the consumer is redirected to a Toss-hosted payment page, displaying all available banks.
The consumer is either prompted to select a bank on the Toss HPP or scan a QR code.
By-passing the HPP and redirecting straight to the supported bank
The second option requires you to send PPRO the specin.cardissuer of each supported bank.
The full list of supported banks can be viewed here, Appendix.
