tw-payment-integration

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

Integrate Taiwan payment service providers including credit card, ATM transfer, convenience store payment, and mobile wallets (LINE Pay, JKoPay). Use this skill when the user needs to accept payments online in Taiwan, choose a payment gateway, understand payment flows, or handle refunds — even if they say 'accept payments on our site', 'which payment provider in Taiwan', 'integrate credit card payments', or 'set up LINE Pay'.

Taiwan Payment Integration

Framework

IRON LAW: Support At Least 3 Payment Methods in Taiwan

Taiwan consumers expect choice. Credit card alone misses ~40% of potential
buyers. The minimum viable payment mix for Taiwan e-commerce:
1. Credit card (信用卡)
2. ATM/bank transfer (ATM 虛擬帳號)
3. Convenience store payment (超商代碼/超商取貨付款)

Adding LINE Pay and Apple Pay captures another 10-15%.

Taiwan Payment Landscape

Method	Market Share	User Profile	Settlement Time
Credit/Debit card	~45%	All ages, higher spending	T+1 to T+7
ATM virtual account	~15%	Price-sensitive, no credit card	Instant to T+1
Convenience store (超商代碼)	~10%	Students, cash-preferred	T+1 to T+3
LINE Pay	~12%	LINE users (95% of Taiwan)	T+1 to T+7
Apple Pay / Google Pay	~5%	Mobile-first users	T+1 to T+7
超商取貨付款 (COD at store)	~8%	Low trust, want to see product	Upon pickup + T+3
JKoPay / 街口	~3%	Younger demographic	T+1

Payment Service Providers (PSP)

PSP	Strengths	Pricing	Best For
綠界 (ECPay)	Most comprehensive (credit card, ATM, CVS, 超取), largest market share	2.75% credit card, NT$15/ATM txn	General e-commerce, startups
藍新 (NewebPay)	Good API design, modern dashboard	2.5-2.8% credit card	SaaS, subscription businesses
TapPay	Mobile-first, Apple Pay/Google Pay/LINE Pay integration	2.5-2.8% credit card	Mobile apps, in-app purchases
PayNow	Easy setup, no monthly fee	2.75% credit card	Low-volume, new businesses
Stripe	International, excellent API	3.4% + NT$10 per txn	Cross-border, international focus

Integration Flow (Standard)

1. Customer clicks "Pay" on your site
2. Your server creates an order → sends to PSP API
3. PSP returns a payment page URL (or token for inline)
4. Customer completes payment on PSP-hosted page
5. PSP sends callback (webhook) to your server with result
6. Your server verifies the callback signature
7. Update order status → show confirmation to customer

Key API Concepts

Concept	What It Is
MerchantID	Your account identifier with the PSP
HashKey / HashIV	Secret keys for signature verification
TradeNo	Your order ID (must be unique per transaction)
PaymentType	Credit, ATM, CVS, WebATM, etc.
Callback URL	Webhook endpoint PSP calls after payment
Return URL	Page to redirect customer after payment
CheckMacValue	HMAC signature to verify data integrity

Refund Handling

Method	Refund Capability	Timing
Credit card	Full or partial refund via API	1-7 business days
ATM	Cannot auto-refund — must wire transfer back	Manual, 3-7 days
CVS payment	Cannot auto-refund — must wire transfer back	Manual, 3-7 days
LINE Pay	Full refund via API	1-3 business days

Security Requirements

Requirement	What to Do
SSL/TLS	All payment pages must be HTTPS
3D Secure	Enable 3DS 2.0 for credit card fraud reduction
PCI DSS	If handling raw card data, need PCI compliance. Using PSP-hosted payment page avoids this.
Tokenization	Store payment tokens, never raw card numbers
Webhook verification	Always verify CheckMacValue signature before processing callbacks
Idempotency	Handle duplicate callbacks gracefully (PSP may retry)

# Payment Integration Plan: {Business}

## Payment Method Selection
| Method | Include? | PSP | Rationale |
|--------|---------|-----|-----------|
| Credit card | Y/N | {provider} | {why} |
| ATM | Y/N | ... | ... |
| CVS | Y/N | ... | ... |
| LINE Pay | Y/N | ... | ... |

## PSP Selection
- Provider: {name}
- Pricing: {rate}
- Rationale: {why this provider}

## Integration Plan
| Phase | Task | Timeline |
|-------|------|----------|
| 1 | Apply for PSP merchant account | 1-2 weeks |
| 2 | Develop payment flow (sandbox) | 1-2 weeks |
| 3 | Implement webhook handler | 1 week |
| 4 | Security review (SSL, signature verification) | 2-3 days |
| 5 | Production testing with real transactions | 1 week |
| 6 | Go-live | 1 day |

## Refund Process
{How each payment method handles refunds}

Gotchas

PSP application takes time: Merchant account approval can take 1-3 weeks. Apply early. Credit card processing requires additional documentation (company registration, bank account proof).
ATM and CVS refunds are manual: Unlike credit cards, ATM and convenience store payments cannot be auto-refunded. You need the customer's bank account to wire money back. Build this into your CS process.
Webhook reliability: PSP callbacks can be delayed or duplicated. Build idempotent handlers and implement a reconciliation job that checks PSP records against your database daily.
Foreign credit cards: Not all Taiwan PSPs support foreign credit cards well. If you have international customers, test with non-Taiwan cards or use Stripe.
Recurring payments (subscription): 綠界 and 藍新 support recurring billing, but you need the customer's explicit consent and must handle card expiration/update flows.
