Boost Payment Method
Boost is a strong payment method for merchants expanding into Malaysia because it combines established local wallet usage, QR-based payment familiarity, and business-ready acceptance tools. For platforms, SaaS companies, and digital businesses, adding Boost through a payment gateway can reduce checkout friction, improve local conversion, and support scalable payment acceptance in a mobile-first market.

Payment flow
A typical Boost payment flow looks like this:
The customer selects Boost at checkout.
The merchant or platform creates the payment request through the payment gateway.
The customer is shown the relevant wallet or hosted payment experience.
The user authenticates and confirms the payment through the Boost flow.
The merchant receives payment confirmation and can reconcile the transaction operationally.

Boost’s value for international merchants is not only local recognition, but also the ability to embed a familiar payment method into a broader payment orchestration layer. In practice, the merchant presents Boost at checkout, creates the payment request through its gateway or orchestration partner, and then routes the customer through the payment experience required for completion. LimePay’s Deposits API is built for this model: the merchant creates a deposit request and receives either payment metadata to build the checkout directly or a hosted link to complete the payment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do Boost payments work for international merchants?
International merchants usually access Boost through a payment gateway or orchestration layer rather than building a standalone local integration from scratch. With LimePay, the standard approach is to retrieve the enabled method via the payment_methods endpoint, create the payment using the Deposits API, and then handle the checkout flow returned by the platform.
Is Boost a secure payment method for online shopping?
Boost operates within Malaysia’s regulated financial ecosystem and has publicly referenced approval under its current e-money licence from Bank Negara Malaysia in its merchant wallet announcement. For merchants, that provides a stronger trust signal than relying on an unregulated wallet product.
How can Boost payment gateway be integrated into ecommerce websites?
Boost offers merchant-facing online payment capabilities through Boost Connect Online Payment Solution. Its official business page describes it as a solution for ecommerce businesses and online sellers collecting payments over the internet. Merchants using LimePay can also operationalize Boost through a single API integration that supports localized payment method presentation and deposit creation flows.
How can small retail business owners accept Boost payments?
Small businesses can use Boost Biz products such as QR acceptance, POS and soundbox options, payment links, and merchant wallet services. These tools are designed to help merchants accept cashless payments, manage transactions, and access funds more efficiently from one business environment.
