Supported payment methods
The client session offers the same methods to both platforms. This table says how the Android SDK handles each one compared with the web SDK.
Legend: ✅ supported · 🔁 supported when the method is configured in redirection mode in your Purse dashboard · 🧪 ported, awaiting sandbox validation · ❌ not available · — not applicable to Android.
How a method is resolved
The SDK picks the plugin for an offered method in this order, the same as the web SDK: the vault vendor, then the template, then a redirection integration mode, then the exact partner and method pair, then the method alone.
| Session field | Web | Android |
|---|---|---|
vault.vendor = purse | Hosted fields card | ✅ Card (Purse vault), Secure Fields |
vault.vendor = pci_proxy | ✅ | ❌ |
template = redirection or integration_mode = redirection | ✅ | ✅ Redirection methods |
template = sdpx, lyra, alma, applepay, googlepay | ✅ | ❌ except Google Pay, resolved by method |
Exact (partner, method) | 17 dedicated plugins | (klarna, installments), (paypal, wallet), (ingenico, googlepay) |
| Method alone | none | googlepay, any partner |
