Payment methods

OFF drugstore Myeongdong accepts the payment methods foreign visitors already use. You can pay without having to withdraw Korean won or exchange currency. The standing sign in front of the store also shows the payment methods we accept.

Use the payment apps and cards you already use

We accept Alipay, WeChat Pay, and UnionPay. Just use your usual app or card at the checkout counter. If something goes wrong on the payment screen, our staff will help you.

  1. Paying with WOWPASS

    WOWPASS is a prepaid card for foreign visitors. When you pay, show your card at the checkout counter.

    If your balance is too low, top up and then pay again. To learn how to get the card and how to top up, see the official WOWPASS guide.

  2. If you plan to get a tax refund

    To get a tax refund, you need your physical passport when you pay. A copy of your passport or a photo on your phone will not work. Take out your passport before checkout to shorten your wait.

    You can get your refund in cash at the self-service tax refund kiosk inside the store.

Is there a minimum payment?

There is no minimum amount to pay. Even if you buy just 1 item, you can pay with the same payment methods. However, tax refunds have their own minimum purchase amount.

Other payment methods

If you want to use another payment method, please check with our staff before checkout. We can help you in English, Chinese, and Japanese.
