Payment Channels Overview
This section provides an overview of available payment channels in Xenith. This guide helps merchants understand these payment options and the experience for customers using them.
🇮🇩 Indonesian Rupiah (IDR)
Virtual Account (VA)
Overview
Virtual Accounts (VA) are temporary, unique bank account numbers generated for each transaction. Used widely in Indonesia, they provide a convenient and secure way for customers to transfer funds directly to the intended merchant account without needing to submit proof of payment. This feature makes VAs popular for depositing funds into accounts—such as forex trading platforms—and for other types of online purchases. For merchants, VAs simplify the reconciliation process, ensuring each transaction can be uniquely identified, reducing manual tracking errors and processing delays.

QRIS (Quick Response [QR] Code Indonesian Standard)
Overview
QRIS (Quick Response Indonesian Standard) is a unified QR-based payment channel developed by Bank Indonesia. It allows customers to make cashless payments by scanning a single QR code that works across various platforms, including major Indonesian e-wallets (DANA, OVO, GoPay, ShopeePay) and bank transfers. QRIS has gained widespread popularity due to its ease of use and adaptability, particularly in mobile-based transactions. For merchants, QRIS provides an efficient and secure way to process payments, with automated transaction records and lower transaction fees, regulated by the government. Widely used in Indonesia, QRIS is also available in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and will soon expand to India, Korea, Japan, and the UAE.
QRIS is similar to QR code payment systems seen globally, such as WeChat Pay in China or PayPal's QR code system. It allows for cashless payments from multiple platforms, all using a single, standardized QR code.

E-wallets
Overview
E-wallets are digital wallets that allow customers to store funds and make cashless transactions using a smartphone. Major e-wallet providers in Indonesia include OVO, DANA, GoPay, ShopeePay, and LinkAja. With a high percentage of unbanked individuals in Indonesia, e-wallets have become a popular and accessible alternative to traditional banks, allowing users to quickly top up or pay, often requiring only a phone number for basic access, without the need for a full bank account. E-wallets also integrate seamlessly with QRIS, further increasing their usability in both in-person and online transactions.
E-wallets are similar to popular digital wallets like PayPal, Apple Pay, or Google Wallet, but they are tailored to the Indonesian market and commonly used for transactions in IDR.
