Convenience store payment is a method that allows customers who cannot use online payments such as card payments, simple payments, or mobile micropayments, or who experience inconvenience due to complicated authentication procedures, to conveniently pay with cash.

Customers who wish to use convenience store payment can select 'convenience store payment' at the payment step to complete their order. Then, they can take the payment barcode sent via the order page and KakaoTalk to a convenience store within 3 days from the order date and pay in cash. Payment is available 24 hours at major domestic convenience stores such as GS25, CU, 7-Eleven, Emart24, and C Space.

The convenience store payment provided by Zigzag is based on real-time prepaid payment technology developed by the fintech company 'Galaxia Moneytree.' According to Galaxia Moneytree, 99% of all convenience store payment users are teenagers.

A Kakao Style representative stated, "We expect the introduction of convenience store payment to increase Zigzag usage among teenage customers who had difficulties with card payments and other methods."
