Beam is a Thailand-focused payments platform that lets businesses accept payments across in-person and online channels. Its products include Beam Checkout (online payments for social media, websites, and apps via hosted payment links and a Charges API), Beam Bolt (an in-person payment device), and Beam Bridge (embedded payments for partner platforms). Beam supports cards, e-wallets, QR PromptPay, installments, and Alipay+, with card authorization/capture, refunds, tokenization, 3DS, and CIT/MIT recurring flows. The v1 REST API uses HTTP Basic auth (merchantId:apiKey), idempotency keys, HMAC-signed webhooks, and a playground sandbox. Beam states it is PCI DSS compliant and compliant with Bank of Thailand regulations. Backed by Peak XV, Partech, and SeaX Ventures.
