Stripe adds Samsung Pay to Crypto Onramp on Android

Stripe added Samsung Pay to Crypto Onramp for Android React Native apps, expanding fiat-to-crypto payment options for developers and users.

Stripe has added Samsung Pay support to its Crypto Onramp tools for Android applications built with React Native, giving developers another wallet option for users purchasing digital assets with fiat currency.

Summary

Stripe added Samsung Pay support to Crypto Onramp for Android developers using React Native applications.
Version 0.75.0 introduced Samsung Pay configuration, availability checks, payment collection, and integration examples for developers.
Stripe released version 0.75.0 on August 18, before the feature drew attention September 21 publicly.
Stripe’s public Crypto Onramp page still lists cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and ACH methods.
Version 0.77.0 is current today, adding identity fields while fixing Android Crypto Onramp presentation failures.

Stripe’s official React Native changelog shows that Samsung Pay support arrived in version 0.75.0, released on Aug. 18, 2026, nearly five weeks before the feature received fresh attention on Sept. 21. The release added configuration tools, availability checks, payment-method collection and an example implementation for Crypto Onramp on Android.

The update means React Native developers using Stripe’s Android integration can offer Samsung Pay inside supported Crypto Onramp flows, subject to the payment method being available for the user and integration. It does not represent a newly released Stripe version on Sept. 21, since the SDK has since moved through versions 0.76.0 and 0.77.0.

Stripe added Samsung Pay in its August SDK release

Version 0.75.0 introduced four Samsung Pay components for Crypto Onramp: configuration, availability checks, payment collection and example integration. Stripe listed each feature specifically under Android in the React Native release notes.

React Native lets developers maintain mobile applications for both Android and iOS using a shared JavaScript-based codebase. Stripe’s React Native SDK provides prebuilt payment interfaces and lower-level payment tools that developers can incorporate into their applications.

The SDK handles sensitive payment details through Stripe instead of requiring developers to send card information through their own servers. Its existing mobile payment support includes integrations such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, alongside standard card collection.

Samsung Pay support is specifically documented under Crypto Onramp for Android. Stripe’s release notes do not describe the feature as an iOS option, which fits Samsung Pay’s use on supported Android devices.

Crypto Onramp lets users buy assets without leaving apps

Stripe’s Crypto Onramp is designed to let users buy cryptocurrencies directly inside third-party applications instead of leaving the app for a separate exchange or payment website.

Stripe handles the payment and purchasing flow while developers embed the service inside their own products. The company says Crypto Onramp supports multiple digital assets and blockchain networks and provides crypto settlement after a successful fiat purchase.

Before the Samsung Pay SDK addition, Stripe publicly listed credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, instant ACH and regular ACH among its preferred Crypto Onramp payment methods. Its main product page still showed that list when reviewed on Sept. 21 and had not yet added Samsung Pay to the published payment-method section.

The GitHub changelog nevertheless confirms that Samsung Pay functionality exists in the Android React Native Crypto Onramp SDK. Developers can check whether Samsung Pay is available before presenting the option, then collect the selected payment method through the integration.

Stripe first introduced its fiat-to-crypto onramp in 2022 as an embeddable tool for wallets, decentralized applications and other Web3 services.

React Native developers can check Samsung Pay availability

The availability-check component is important because Samsung Pay may not be usable on every Android device or in every customer setup.

Stripe’s 0.75.0 release lets an application determine availability before attempting payment collection. The SDK then provides the configuration and payment collection functions required to incorporate Samsung Pay into the Crypto Onramp flow.

The release included example integration code, reducing the amount of custom implementation developers need to create before testing the wallet option.

Stripe did not publish separate Samsung Pay transaction fees, supported-country lists or cryptocurrency limits in the React Native changelog. Existing Crypto Onramp availability and compliance requirements therefore remain relevant when developers implement the feature.

The React Native SDK has continued changing since Samsung Pay arrived. Version 0.76.0, released Sept. 1, added the ability for Crypto Onramp users to delete a registered wallet address from their current Link account.

Version 0.77.0 followed on Sept. 16 and is the latest version listed in Stripe’s changelog. It added additional Crypto Onramp identity-document fields covering U.S. Social Security numbers, Canadian SINs, Colombian NITs and Philippine TINs.

The same release fixed an Android issue that could cause Crypto Onramp presentation failures after an Android Activity was recreated. Stripe moved Google Pay payment-method and token creation flows to Android’s Activity Result API in that release.

Version 0.77.0 also removed support for React Native’s old architecture, requiring developers using the current SDK to enable the newer architecture for Android, iOS or Expo applications.

Stripe keeps expanding crypto payment infrastructure

Samsung Pay support arrives as Stripe continues adding crypto payment products beyond its original fiat onramp.

Stripe acquired stablecoin infrastructure company Bridge in a transaction valued at approximately $1.1 billion and has since incorporated stablecoin payments, issuance and financial-account tools into its payment business.

Stripe launched Stablecoin Financial Accounts in more than 100 countries in 2025, allowing businesses to hold stablecoin balances and send digital dollars through its infrastructure.

Bridge has since expanded its regulated footprint. The Stripe-owned company secured MiCA and Electronic Money Institution authorization in Luxembourg, giving it a framework for regulated stablecoin services across the European Union.

Stripe’s crypto tools are reaching consumer applications as well. World launched its World Money product across more than 150 countries on Sept. 17, with Stripe powering the U.S. Apple Pay funding route, according to related crypto.news coverage.

Meanwhile, Stripe-owned Bridge has worked with Visa on stablecoin-backed payment cards planned for more than 100 countries by the end of 2026. Visa’s program uses Bridge infrastructure for stablecoin-linked card issuance and on-chain settlement.

Stripe has expanded further into blockchain infrastructure through Tempo, the payments-focused network developed with Paradigm. The network launched its mainnet in March alongside a machine-payment protocol designed for automated transactions, For Android developers, Samsung Pay remains an SDK-level Crypto Onramp option introduced with version 0.75.0. Stripe’s current 0.77.0 release keeps the Crypto Onramp stack active while adding identity fields and correcting Android presentation issues that appeared after Activity recreation.
