Recommended payment service

For online games, we recommend the introduction of Credit Card Payment. According to a questionnaire survey conducted by our company in 2018, 76.2% of digital content users make payments by credit card (for 1,986 customers who used the online shopping site within one year). Since it is a user of digital contents, it includes online game usage fees, e-books, video viewing services, etc., but it can be seen that there are many users of Credit Card Payment.
It is also a good idea to prepare Mobile Carrier Billing, CVS Payment, etc. so that even customers who do not have a credit card can make payments. Teenage customers tend to use CVS Payment and Mobile Carrier Billing.
