Convenient payment system for
subscription sales and recurring payments

▼ What is a payments system for subscription sales and recurring payments?
By enabling recurring purchases, this payment system makes it possible to confirm in advance the ability to collect payment and increases the certainty of billing. Moreover, since it is not necessary to process authorization if the amount is under the floor limit（*1), operating efficiency is also increased.
(*1) For credit card payments which exceed a certain amount, it is necessary to contact the credit card company regarding each payment, perform authorization (secure the usage amount from the credit limit), and obtain an authorization number. “Floor limit” refers to the reference amount in such cases.
