Support your business with online services

【Background and Summary】

Due to the spread of the new coronavirus, the number of customers visiting physical stores has decreased significantly in the domestic restaurant, retail, and service industries, and has had a significant economic impact. As a result, many businesses that have been conducting face-to-face business in physical stores are now looking for new sales channels. For example, in addition to face-to-face sales at restaurants and retail stores, there have been cases where new e-commerce sites have been opened and products are sold online, and it is expected that the number of businesses expecting to improve revenue through online sales will continue to increase.
Therefore, GMO-EP, which supports the business operations of SME and sole proprietors through online payment services, has launched an online sales support portal service that gathers the services necessary for online sales so that more businesses can easily and conveniently sell their products and services online. We will make it easy to link and apply for each company's services.
