You choose which payment methods your account accepts. Newie then shows each customer the options that work for their purchase. A method can be enabled on your account and still be unavailable for a particular service, price, currency or device.

Newie does not support PayPal, BPAY or splitting one payment across multiple cards.

​
Card networks and virtual cards

Card-network availability depends on your business’s connected Stripe account country. For example, Discover is supported for US-based accounts, but not Australian or New Zealand accounts. A US customer’s Discover card therefore cannot be used with every Newie business. Check Stripe’s card-brand table for other countries and networks. A virtual card uses the normal card checkout: the customer enters its card number, expiry and security code. The card must use a supported network and allow the payment. For subscriptions or instalment plans, use a reusable virtual card that permits recurring charges; a single-use card is unsuitable. The issuer can confirm any spending or merchant restrictions. See Revolut’s explanation of reusable and single-use virtual cards.

​
Manage Accepted Payment Methods

On iOS or macOS, open Settings → Payments & Payouts → Accepted Payment Methods. The available settings include Card / Apple Pay, AU Bank Account (Direct Debit), Afterpay / Clearpay, Affirm and Klarna. Changes apply to new purchases. Existing customers and billing agreements keep their current payment setup. Follow any setup action shown beside the method:
  • Action Required: choose Update Now to continue to Stripe.
  • Affirm Request: some accounts need approval. Choose Request and follow its status rather than looking for an on/off control. Request Affirm access explains what each request status means and when you can try again.
  • A website requested by Stripe: if you do not have one, use a social media profile URL if Stripe accepts it for that setup step.
If AU Bank Account is off but you already have Direct Debit customers, they may have joined when Newie defaulted it to on. The current setting affects new purchases and does not switch those customers to another method.

​
Service-Level BNPL Control

BNPL needs to be enabled in two places: the provider under Accepted Payment Methods, and Buy Now Pay Later in the eligible One-Off Purchase service editor. The service editor shows each provider’s status, such as Available, Not enabled, Pending action, Not available or Price too high (limit …). Check that status for the service you plan to share; account setup alone does not guarantee availability. Use Buy Now, Pay Later Payments for setup instructions, status meanings and provider amount limits.

​
International Payments

Customers outside your business country can pay when their card or payment method is accepted. They are charged in the service currency, and their bank may add conversion or international transaction fees. Newie does not add a fee simply because a customer is overseas. Standard Newie fees still apply, and the international transaction fee can apply when funds are received in a different currency to your payout currency. See Fees & Limits Reference for the rule and rate. Last updated: 2026-09-11
