About KoreaCheckout

Your Korea market entry partner

KoreaCheckout helps international businesses enter the Korean market by handling payment gateway approvals, checkout localisation, and technical integrations. We are not a generic SaaS platform — we are a hands-on partner that sits between your business and the Korean ecosystem.

Operated by Seoul Commerce

KoreaCheckout is operated by Seoul Commerce, a Korea-based ecommerce systems and payments integration company. For years we’ve been building and operating payment, logistics, and messaging integrations for global brands selling into Korea.

Our team lives inside the Korean payments ecosystem every day — working with local gateways, acquirers, WMS providers and logistics platforms — so you don’t have to build that expertise from scratch.

Why KoreaCheckout exists

Korea is one of the hardest ecommerce markets in the world to enter operationally. For companies based outside Korea, it often feels opaque and slow.

  • • Korean payment gateways are not self-serve like Stripe.
  • • Most documentation and onboarding is in Korean.
  • • Approvals and risk reviews can be slow and confusing.
  • • Requirements differ by gateway, industry, and business model.
  • • Integration mistakes can lead to failed payments or rejections.
KoreaCheckout exists to remove this friction. We sit between your business and the Korean ecosystem, making sure you get approved, integrated, and live — without needing to navigate the complexity yourself.

Who we are in practice

We are engineers, operators, and payments specialists focused entirely on Korea. In day-to-day terms, that means:

  • • Talking to Korean payment providers on your behalf.
  • • Preparing and submitting merchant applications and documents.
  • • Designing payment and checkout flows that work for Korean users.
  • • Integrating gateways into your existing stack (ecommerce, SaaS, marketplace, etc.).
  • • Troubleshooting live issues when something breaks or changes.
