Why Payment Methods Matter?
When recharging for items like RedNote RedCoin on 94LIVES, you can choose between LINE Pay or supermarket barcodes (7-ELEVEN, FamilyMart, Hi-Life, OK Mart) for payment. Different payment methods vary significantly in terms of fees, arrival speed, and operational complexity. Choosing the right method can save you considerable extra costs per recharge and prevent the awkward situation of "having paid but still waiting for customer service."
LINE Pay Payment Explained
LINE Pay is one of the most familiar e-wallet tools for Taiwanese users, allowing one-click payments once linked to a credit card or account. 94LIVES currently supports LINE Pay verification-free instant payment, with fees enjoying a limited-time 5% discount. It offers the smoothest overall experience among online payment options.
- Fees: Subject to the checkout page display; LINE Pay channel currently has a limited-time 5% discount.
- Arrival Speed: System processes automatically after successful payment; recharge usually completes within 1-2 minutes.
- Pros: No verification needed, instant payment, one-click completion, no need to visit stores, stackable with credit card rewards.
- Cons: Requires pre-linking a credit card or e-wallet account; promotions are time-limited, rates subject to checkout page.
LINE Pay supports direct debit via linked credit cards, eliminating the need for pre-loading balances. Combining your credit card's existing rewards with 94LIVES' 5% fee discount makes this the most hassle-free combo for frequent, small recharges.
Supermarket Recharge Explained
Supermarket barcodes (convenience store barcodes / store codes) are offered by 94LIVES specifically for users who "prefer not to link credit cards and favor cash payments." After the system generates a unique payment barcode, you can visit convenience store counters like 7-ELEVEN, FamilyMart, Hi-Life, or OK Mart to pay with cash or local e-payments.
- Fees: Each barcode order enjoys one instant discount; split into multiple orders to stack discounts; actual fees subject to checkout page.
- Arrival Speed: After payment, you must contact 94LIVES online customer service. Provide order details for manual recharge processing—one extra step compared to LINE Pay's automatic arrival.
- Pros: No verification or credit card linking needed, payable by cash, available at tens of thousands of stores island-wide, no single/accumulated limit restrictions.
- Cons: Requires a trip to the store; manual contact with customer service post-payment adds a step versus LINE Pay.
Each barcode order qualifies for one instant discount. To maximize savings, split large amounts into multiple smaller orders. Remember to contact online customer service with your order details after payment—they handle the manual recharge. Don't skip this step!

Conclusion: Which is Best for You?
Choose LINE Pay if you:
- Already use LINE Pay and want automatic arrival within 1-2 minutes post-payment.
- Recharge amounts fall within your credit limit and you want to stack credit card rewards.
- Prefer staying home and avoiding customer service—seeking "pay-and-use-immediately" convenience.
- Favor frequent small recharges where convenience outweighs saving a few dollars per transaction.
Choose Supermarket Recharge if you:
- Lack a credit card or prefer not linking any payment accounts online.
- Prefer cash payments and have nearby access to 7-ELEVEN / FamilyMart etc.
- Plan large, one-time recharges and want to maximize discounts via "split orders + instant deductions."
- Don't mind the extra step of contacting customer service—willing to trade time for discounts.
For speed and convenience, choose LINE Pay—verification-free instant payment + 5% fee discount + 1-2 minute automatic arrival makes it the optimal choice for most Taiwanese users. If you prefer cash or seek maximum discounts on large, scheduled recharges, supermarket barcodes are better suited—just remember to contact online customer service post-payment for manual recharge.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long until LINE Pay arrives after payment?
The system typically processes orders automatically after successful payment, completing the recharge within 1-2 minutes. No need to contact customer service or provide account passwords.
Which convenience stores accept the supermarket barcode?
94LIVES' supermarket barcodes are supported at major Taiwan chains including 7-ELEVEN, FamilyMart, Hi-Life, and OK Mart. Generate the barcode and present it at any nearby participating store counter to complete cash payment.
Why contact customer service after paying via supermarket barcode?
Supermarket barcodes utilize offline collection channels. Successful payment doesn't trigger automatic recharge. You must provide order details to 94LIVES online customer service, who manually complete the final recharge. Online payments like LINE Pay skip this step via automatic processing.
Can fee discounts from both methods be combined?
The LINE Pay channel currently offers a limited-time 5% fee discount. Supermarket barcodes provide one instant discount per order; splitting into multiple small orders allows stacking discounts. As they belong to different payment channels, discounts cannot combine within a single order but can be optimized separately based on amount and scenario.
All rates and promotions above are limited-time offers. Actual fees and arrival times are subject to the 94LIVES checkout page display at the time of transaction.
