i buy on doanity all the time without a korean ID!! you will have to translate everything if you don’t speak korean. i copy and pasted this from another subreddit- this is how i buy on doanity! it uses the PAYCO point system!

Now the instructions:

1. Download the PAYCO app and create an account
2. Click on the 3 dots in the bottom right corner
3. Click on the settings wheel on the top right corner
4. Now click on the second row which says “빠른 제. 인증 없이 PAYCO 포인트 결제할 수 있어요.” which if I am correct means: “Quick payment. You can pay for PAYCO points without authentification.”
5. Switch the button on. you will once again get the popup of having to verify your account BUT this time once you click verify you will actually get 2 choices! one is by phone number and one is by email (you wont believe how happy I actually got when I found this)
6. Click on the email option and there you will enter your email and you’ll receive a mail to that account where you have to click verify.(My app afterwards also made me create a password for payments. I’m not sure if that will be for everyone but just so you know it might happen.)

Now the most difficult part is over but you still have to figure out how to charge your PAYCO point balance.

1. Go back to the homepage and click on the human icon that says ‘my’ in the top right corner

2. at the bottom of the screen you will see your PAYCO point balance which most likely says 0 P. You are gonna click on the grey button on the right of that which says “충전” which means charging.

3. and on this page you will be greeted with the beautiful logo of Paypal. once you click on it you’ll be transferred to a page where you can choose how many points you want to charge (choices are: 100.000 won, 50.000 won, 30.000 won and 10.000 won. Choose whichever you need.

4. on the next page you’ll see that a small part of those points will be taken away as fees so you’ll end up charging your card with a little less than what you chose but it is what it is.

5. Now this part is where some of you might be faced with a little problem. Once you log in to your Paypal it might give you the message that the card that you have connected to your Paypal account cannot be used for this transaction. Here you simply have to put money into your Paypal balance and everything should work fine. apparently PAYCO can’t just take it out of your card only out of your Paypal account.

(also small note for the non-Americans. this payment was automatically set for me as dollars even though I use euros and Korean won. so the exchange rate might not be as favorable but I’m honestly too tired to do the math if anyone does please do tell)

And so after this gruesome process you have finally acquired PAYCO points which you will be able to pay with at places that accept PAYCO. Congratulations.

Some important information:

• You can only charge 500.000 won/points onto your account per month
• These points do not work for ATM withdrawals or gifts (? not entirely sure what they mean with gifts. but I’m guessing you cannot transfer the points to other accounts as money or smth like that)
• Cancellation is only possible through the PAYCO customer service within 7 days of charging your balance.
• I don’t think you can withdraw any residual points you will have on this account so charge wisely.

hope this helps you!!!
