Five Benefits of Implementing Point payment

  • MERIT 01

    Supports three common points

    V Point, Ponta points, and PayPay Points are supported. You can select the points to introduce according to your merchant's customer base and promotional policies.

  • MERIT 02

    Reduce development and maintenance burden while enabling multi-point implementation.

    Merchants can introduce multi-point services by connecting to Point payment 's API (OpenAPI method). This reduces the burden of building individual APIs for each point operator, such as arranging specific servers and lines.

  • MERIT 03

    Expansion of LTV through Common Point Implementation

    By implementing common points, merchants can run promotions aimed at first-time purchases by new customers, repeat purchases by existing customers, and acquiring new members.

  • MERIT 04

    Differentiation from competitors and other sales channels

    For low-priced products that are easy to use points and commodity products that are hard to differentiate, you can differentiate yourself through point membership. It can also be used when merchants want to offer user incentives to specific sales channels (such as points for web purchases).

  • MERIT 05

    Marketing utilization of point member information

    By analyzing member information of merchants and point member information, it becomes possible to promote to potential customers on the point member side. (A separate contract with the point service provider is required.)
