Paygent Adds "NP Atobarai" to Payment Gateway Services, Supporting Merchants in Preventing Cart Abandonment and Acquiring New Customers

Paygent Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Junichi Suzuki; hereinafter referred to as Paygent) has now supports "NP Atobarai," a deferred payment service provided by Net Protections, Inc. (Location: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Shin Shibata).

Background and Overview

In recent years, with the diversification of payment methods, it has become essential for e-commerce businesses (merchants) to flexibly respond to customer payment needs in order to increase sales. Reducing the risk of "cart abandonment" (leaving the purchase screen) due to the absence of desired payment methods and preventing the loss of purchasing opportunities are important challenges for many merchants. Against this backdrop, Paygent has decided to add "NP Atobarai," a payment method that can contribute to preventing "cart abandonment." By introducing this service, merchants can prevent the loss of customers (cart abandonment) among young people who do not have credit cards or those who refrain from using credit cards due to security concerns, leading to the acquisition of new customers and increased sales.

Customers can make flexible payments at their preferred time and location, such as at the nearest convenience store, post office, or bank, within 14 days after receiving the product.
