Outline of “PayPay”
Since “PayPay”, a smartphone payment service in which customers use QR Codes or barcodes to pay in stores, had supported online payment in June 2019, it has been used on some EC sites such as “Yahoo! Shopping” and “Yahoo! Auction”. Taking advantage of this opportunity, PayPay will provide its service to more EC and internet service providers.
When paying on an e-commerce website or online service, the customer selects “PayPay” and then completes the payment by simply choosing “PayPay Balance”*1 or credit card on the “PayPay” payment screen. The customer can pay speedily without having to enter credit card or other information each time, which improves convenience and prevents customers from abandoning the purchase at the payment screen. E-commerce business operators who introduce “PayPay” can access the more than 20 million*2 “PayPay” users as sales leads and encourage these users to visit their e-commerce sites.

VeriTrans4G is based on a system with the highest level of security in Japan, and makes it possible to retain no credit card information. It comes standard with basic functions such as continual charges and card information updating, as well as a wide range of security options to prevent fraudulent usage.
Even if service and security requirements are added, a flexibly scalable system that minimizes the provider’s burden is built-in, so providers who use “VeriTrans4G” can immediately install it simply by applying to use “PayPay”. After installation, transaction data can be managed centrally on our control screen. Transaction data for “PayPay” only can be extracted and aggregated. In addition, money collected is settled or transferred in a lump sum with the settlement of other payments to minimize the operational load due to the addition of a new payment method.
Future developments
“PayPay” support was added in January 2019 to payment solutions for stores from VeriTrans and ECONTEXT, INC., another DG Group company in the payment agency business. Services have been provided to face-to-face business operators, including food service and retail.
Based on their track records in face-to-face and online payments, VeriTrans and EXCONTEXT will continue offering services to meet wide-ranging consumer payment needs and promote cashless payments and the number of participating merchants.
