[Background to the introduction of "Link Type Plus"]

Since many of the "cart abandonments" that cause purchasers to stop purchasing on e-commerce sites occur on payment screens, we have received requests from e-commerce businesses such as "I want to add the payment method that buyers want" and "I want to match the taste of the entire payment screen that is displayed on the EC site."
On the other hand, GMO-PG's comprehensive payment service "PG Multi-Payment Service" does not require EC operators to retain credit card information when connecting the payment system to the EC site ^(*2), a non-transmitting connection method (redirect type /JavaScript type (token type)). While the redirect type "link type" allows you to configure the payment screen of the EC site in detail, it requires specialized programming knowledge and skills, and it takes time and effort to create and upload multiple files for each payment method added.
Therefore, GMO-PG has decided to provide a new model "Link Type Plus" in the "PG Multi-Payment Service" connection method so that EC operators can easily add the necessary payment method to their EC site and create a payment screen suitable for EC sites.

*2 The "Revised Installment Sales Act" and the "Action Plan for Strengthening Security Measures in Credit Card Transactions -2019-", which is a practical guideline, require e-commerce businesses to introduce a non-passable payment system for credit card information so that card information is not retained (card information is not stored, processed, or passed), or to comply with PCI DSS.

[About "Link Type Plus"]

Unlike conventional "Link Type", the payment system using "Link Type Plus" allows you to set elements such as payment method and design on the payment screen by simply selecting them from the items already available, so unlike conventional "Link Type", specialized knowledge is not required. In addition, since "Link Type Plus" is also a non-passable type of credit card information, "redirect type", EC businesses can realize that the purchaser's credit card information is not retained.
In the future, we plan to add design templates, supported languages, payment method, and other features that are highly convenient for e-commerce businesses, such as the ability to change the URL of the payment screen to your own domain.
