What Is PromptPay?
PromptPay is Thailand national electronic payment system, launched by the Bank of Thailand. It links your national ID or phone number to your bank account, allowing instant transfers 24/7. It is the most widely used digital payment method in Thailand, accepted by millions of merchants nationwide.
For online shopping, PromptPay QR is the most convenient payment method — you simply scan a QR code with your banking app and confirm the payment. No credit card needed, no cash handling, and the transfer is instant.
How to Pay with PromptPay QR
Step 1: Select PromptPay QR at checkout. When you reach the payment page on TheBuyingHub, choose PromptPay QR as your payment method.
Step 2: A QR code appears on screen. This QR code is linked to our merchant account and contains the exact amount to pay.
Step 3: Open your banking app. Most Thai banking apps (KBANK, SCB, BBL, KTB, BAY, etc.) support PromptPay QR scanning.
Step 4: Scan the QR code. Use your banking app built-in QR scanner to scan the code on your screen.
Step 5: Confirm the payment. Your banking app will show the merchant name and amount. Verify and confirm.
Step 6: Payment is instant. Once confirmed, the payment is processed immediately and your order is confirmed automatically.
