[Background and Purpose]

In recent years, as e-commerce has progressed in both product sales and service areas, payment is becoming more important not only as a speed and convenience, but also as an important point of contact between businesses and customers, and as a factor directly related to sales opportunities.
On the other hand, due to the diversification of payment method and the sophistication of fraud countermeasures and system responses, the design and operation of payment is becoming more difficult for businesses every year.
In response to these changes in the environment, operators are required to make more strategic decisions and responses, such as optimizing payment approval rates, improving payment UX, and sophisticating operational design, but in many cases, they do not have enough practical information and support to materialize and implement them.
Against this background, GMO-PG would like to continue to accompany the growth of businesses by leveraging the knowledge it has cultivated as a PSP (payment service provider) that provides one of the leading infrastructure of payments services in Japan, and by supporting businesses in making decisions to refine their payment experience (PX) itself. "PX+ by GMO" has been launched.
