Mobile Carrier Billings
Introduce SoftBank, docomo, and au
mobile carrier billings all together!
What is mobile carrier billing?
Mobile carrier billings are payment services that allow customers to pay for products and more together with their mobile phone charges using each carrier’s ID / password authentication.
Since carrier payments make paying simple, they are expected to improve the level of convenience for customers who make payments with their smartphones.
When making contracts with each carrier in-house, merchants must deal with applications and accounting processes for each, but contracting through us makes it possible to consolidate them.
In addition, we can introduce payments for 3 carriers, "SoftBank Collective Payment", "d Payment (Carrier)", and "au Easy Payment".
4 Benefits
1. Expand sales opportunities
Payment methods that can be used even without a credit card
Mobile carrier billings are available to younger customers who do not have credit cards and customers who may prefer not to enter their card information on the Web, and the use of carrier payments has been expanding in recent years.
Reduce cart abandonment with easy operation
Unlike credit card payments, mobile carrier billings can be made simply by entering a 4-digit PIN code registered with the carriers, without having to enter a long card number. As a result, payments can easily be made even on a small smartphone screen or on the train, letting you anticipate reductions in cart abandonment.
2. Support for recurring billing by the 3 carriers
Select billing dates and amounts to match your services
Mobile carrier billings also support recurring billing by the 3 carriers.
This service enables continuous charges for things such as regular deliveries/buying clubs, digital content streaming services, membership fees, subscription fees, viewing fees, and more.
Billing timing and amounts can be set by you, enabling you to use recurring billing with flexibility based on the characteristics of your services.
3. Safe without risk of uncollected payments
For transactions where the payment has been successfully processed, the carriers will take over the credit claim for the price of the product and bill the customer together with their mobile phone charges.
The money transferred to us from the carriers will then be collectively paid out to you.
As your business does not have to take on the risk of uncollected payments by customers failing to pay, you can introduce mobile carrier billings with peace of mind.
4. Effective even as an additional payment method
There have been cases in which even merchants who have already introduced credit card payments have further expanded their sales after introducing mobile carrier billings. Adding payment methods expands both your customer base and leads to increased sales for your business as well.
