What payment services can be used in SHOPIFY in Japan?

Thank you for your continued reading of Go Ride News. SHOPIFY offers a variety of payment services at any time, anytime, anywhere to make the customer payment experience smooth. No matter what shopping site you build, a payment service is required (you can set it on the SHOPIFY management screen). SHOPIFY Store Building Beginners, or those who have just completed the site and have not set the payment service, we will explain the points to select the payment service, the advantages and disadvantages of each in an easy -to -understand manner.

What do you need to think about when choosing a payment service?

First, let's take a look at the important factors that should be considered for the payment service.

Target rotation
SHOPIFY has more appropriate payment services by country. Instead of setting up the most used or matching payment services in the location you are, you will investigate the countries targeted by your online shop, and then use the most settlement services there. Please set it. For example, if you launch an online shop in Japan in China in China, set up a payment service used in China. Because there are services that cannot be used by the country.

Target industry
After examining the target rotation, let's continue the target industry. The payment method changes depending on the industry. For example, in B2B, I think many companies pay in installments. Therefore, you must choose a service that can be installed in installments. Let's investigate the functions of each payment service.

Reliable payment service
When selecting a payment service in SHOPIFY, it is also important to check the user evaluation. For this, check on the payment service website. We also recommend that you communicate with users in social media and read the remaining reviews. It is important to investigate what functions of your store payment service and what is different compared to other payment services.

Unauthorized access detection function
The online store involved in fraud is increasing every day. It is most important to choose a service that has a solid security measure to protect the online store that you work hard every day and work hard. To prevent the stolen risk, skimming risks, etc., make a payment service that allows the store customers to trust and shop without worry.

Cost of payment service
Basically, settlement services have a monthly cost or cost from sales. It is necessary to investigate the start/annual membership fee, charge back fee, payment fee, expected commission, cancellation fee, statement fee, etc. for each payment service. Make the costs deducted from sales as much as possible.
