GMO Payment Gateway, Inc.

GMO Internet Group develops non-face-to-face credit cards and other payment services. GMO Payment Gateway, Inc. (TSE Mothers: Securities Code: 3769 Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, President & Chief Executive Officer: Issei Ainoura hereinafter referred to as GMO-PG) is a convenience store storage, electronic money, and Pay-easy in addition to credit cards. We have launched the SaaS type "PG Multi-Payment Service", which provides payment method in one place, from today, September 1 (Monday).

"PG Multi-Payment Service" is a comprehensive payment service that integrates various payment functions by building a multi-payment framework, a system that will serve as the next-generation payment foundation for e-commerce. In addition to GMO-PG's Credit card payment services, convenience store storage, electronic money, and Pay-easy can be introduced in one place to meet the needs of buyers.

Since announcing the service in July, we have received inquiries from many businesses, and we are preparing to introduce this service with the goal of using it on about 2,000 sites, mainly major operators, by the end of this year.

As a SaaS service based on the PG multi-payment framework, you can easily deploy a variety of payment functions at once, or select and add the payment method you need at any time. In addition, all payment can be processed and managed on a single web screen, greatly improving the efficiency of operations.

In addition, "PG Multi-Payment Service" will continue to support multiple new payment method, so EC sites can flexibly add and expand payment method.

1. In response to the recent need for stricter management of personal information, we are equipped with a card number registration function that allows businesses to perform payment without retaining the customer's card number, and when the customer returns, it can perform payment procedures with only the login information of the member ID without entering the card number.

2. GMO-PG's unique highly accurate recurring payment function (patent pending), which is not available in other companies' recurring payment services, prevents loss of opportunities and increased workload due to expiration or card number expiration, and greatly reduces the workload of business operators.

3. GMO-PG's unique amount change processing function (patented) makes it possible to automate the change of the amount after ordering, which previously required complicated work such as slip processing.

These functions contribute to increasing sales, strengthening security, reducing costs, and improving operational efficiency for businesses.

With the diversification of Internet payment methods, the PG Multi-Payment Service supports payment method CVS Payment, Edy (Mobile Edy), Mobile Suica, and Pay-easy in addition to Credit card payment, and this service alone accounts for about 80% of the payment methods required by purchasers. It is possible to respond to. In addition, it is now possible to introduce these payment method, which are in high demand, at once, and we plan to gradually increase the number of payment method that can be used in the future.

GMO-PG's Credit card payment service has been adopted by more than 18,000 merchants for more than 10 years, including not only major mail-order businesses and e-commerce businesses, but also social network services such as mixi, NHK, the Social Insurance Agency, and public entity municipalities including the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and more than 18,000 Actual merchants. The PG Multi-Payment Service is compatible with a wide range of businesses regardless of size, environment, or form, and can be used as an upgrade to the payment system by businesses that are starting a new service as well as those who are already operating the service.

 

 

In conjunction with the launch of the PG Multi-Payment Service, we are looking for new solution partners to work with the service.

Since "PG Multi-Payment Service" is SaaS-based, it can be linked with various solutions more flexibly, and we have more than 50 linked solutions such as shopping cart ASP and SEO services.

We are pleased to announce that we have expanded our existing Partner Programs and prepared a program to support implementation and collaboration, as well as various kickback programs. We also have a special fee system for the collaboration promotion period by the end of the year.
