BLIK payments on your website, the Polish way to pay
BLIK is how many Poles pay online: a six-digit code from their banking app, a quick approval, done. Cornerrr’s Stripe checkout can offer it for orders in złoty, and for subscriptions once you turn on recurring BLIK in Stripe.

Bank payments
What is BLIK?
BLIK is a Polish payment method built into the mobile apps of Polish banks. The customer opens their banking app, gets a six-digit code, types it into the checkout and approves the notification that follows. Stripe says customers usually approve in under ten seconds, and you know immediately whether the payment succeeded.
How your customers pay
Choose BLIK
On your Stripe checkout, with prices in Polish złoty, the customer picks BLIK.
Get a code
They open their banking app and generate a six-digit BLIK code, which stays valid for two minutes.
Type it in
They enter the code on the checkout page, on a laptop or on the same phone.
Approve in the bank app
Their bank sends a notification; they approve it within 60 seconds and the order is paid.
Why offer it
Why businesses take BLIK
Quick on any device
Customers can shop on a laptop and approve on their phone, without fetching a card or remembering a password for a wallet.
No card needed
It works for anyone with a Polish banking app, including customers who don’t have a credit card or don’t want to use one online.
Subscriptions without cards
With recurring BLIK turned on in Stripe, a subscriber approves a mandate in their banking app once, and later payments on your Growth plan subscription are charged automatically.
Fast refunds
Depending on the bank, refunds reach the customer immediately or within a couple of hours, which keeps returns friendly.
Set up
Turn on BLIK in three steps.
Connect your Stripe account
Link the Stripe account you already have, or create one in a few minutes from Cornerrr. Payments go straight to it; Cornerrr adds no transaction fee.
Turn the method on in Stripe
In your Stripe Dashboard, open the payment method settings and turn it on. Stripe may ask a few questions about your business first.
It shows at checkout
Your Cornerrr checkout is Stripe Checkout, so customers who can use the method see it automatically when their country and your currency match.
Questions
Good to know
How do I add BLIK to my Cornerrr website?
Connect your Stripe account and turn on BLIK in your Stripe Dashboard’s payment method settings. Set your store’s currency to Polish złoty, and Cornerrr’s Stripe Checkout offers BLIK to eligible customers in Poland on its own.
Can I take BLIK for subscriptions?
Yes, once you switch on recurring payments for BLIK in your Stripe payment method settings and Stripe approves them for your business. The subscriber approves a mandate in their banking app at the first checkout, then Stripe charges each renewal. Not every Polish bank supports recurring BLIK and each automatic charge has an upper limit, so keep cards on too.
What happens if the BLIK code runs out?
A code lasts two minutes, and once a payment starts the customer has 60 seconds to approve it. If time runs out, they generate a new code in their banking app and try again.
Can I refund a BLIK payment?
Yes, in full or in part. If a customer opens a claim with BLIK instead, Stripe holds the amount and asks you for evidence, such as the tracking number on the order, which you have 12 days to send.
Do I need any technical skills?
No. You describe your business in your own words and Cornerrr builds the website. Afterwards you change things by clicking, or by asking the assistant in plain words.
How much does it cost?
Building and previewing your website is free, with no card needed. To go live and take payments, choose a plan from $19 a month. Every paid plan starts with a 14-day free trial; a card is needed to start it.
