Stripe Integrates Samsung Pay into Android Crypto Onramp

While the addition of Samsung Pay went largely unnoticed until late September, the update provides developers with a suite of configuration, availability checks, and payment collection functions specifically tailored for the Android ecosystem. By utilizing these tools, applications can now offer a seamless purchasing flow that keeps users within the app interface rather than redirecting them to external exchanges.

Stripe’s React Native SDK, which allows for a shared codebase across mobile platforms, handles the sensitive payment processing internally, reducing the security burden on developers. Although the main product page still highlights traditional methods like credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, the GitHub changelog confirms Samsung Pay is fully functional for Android implementations. The SDK has since advanced to version 0.77.0, which introduced further identity verification fields and addressed technical issues regarding Android activity management. Developers are required to use the newer React Native architecture to leverage these latest integrations.
