What is Omise?โ€‹

Omise is a PCI-certified payment gateway that enables businesses to accept payments online and in-app across Southeast Asia and Japan. With an easy-to-use management dashboard and an intuitive REST API, Omise lets you process payments across multiple languages and frameworks without handling sensitive payment details directly.

Key Featuresโ€‹

  • 40+ Payment Methods: Credit cards, digital wallets, QR payments, bank transfers, and more
  • Regional Coverage: Thailand, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia
  • Multiple Integration Options: Plugins, SDKs, REST API, Payment Links
  • Secure by Design: PCI DSS compliant, tokens keep card data out of your servers
  • Developer-Friendly: Comprehensive documentation, code examples in 8+ languages
  • Test Environment: Full sandbox mode for development and testing

How It Worksโ€‹

The Omise Token Flowโ€‹

  1. Customer enters payment information on your website or app
  2. Your client-side code sends this information directly to Omise using your public key
  3. Omise returns a secure token representing the payment method
  4. Your server uses the token with your secret key to create a charge
  5. Payment is processed without sensitive data ever touching your servers
Security First

Card details never pass through your server, reducing your PCI compliance burden and keeping customer data secure.

Common Questionsโ€‹

Do I need to be PCI compliant?

Omise is PCI DSS Level 1 certified. When you use Omise.js or our mobile SDKs to tokenize payments, card data never touches your servers, significantly reducing your PCI compliance scope. You'll still need to follow basic security practices, but you won't need to undergo full PCI certification yourself.

Learn more in our Security Best Practices guide.
