HitPay Payment Methods Reference
Lookup reference for payment methods available across Southeast Asia, India, Australia, and cross-border markets. Maps countries to methods, API values, currencies, and settlement behavior.
When to Apply
- Developer asks which payment methods are available for a specific country
- Need the correct
payment_methods + currency combination for API calls
- Determining whether a method settles in local currency or cross-currency
- Checking if a specific method (e.g., DuitNow, DANA) is available
For live account queries, use the hitpay-api MCP tools: get_account_status shows which providers are enabled, get_supported_qr_methods shows available QR methods.
