STORES Inc. (hereinafter, STORES), which provides the online shop creation service "STORES Online Shop," will begin supporting "atone," a post-payment service offered by Net Protections, Inc., starting March 27, 2026.

With this integration, businesses using STORES Online Shop will be able to add atone as a payment method. This will allow them to cater to customers who do not own credit cards or prefer post-payment options, thereby preventing lost sales opportunities and expecting increased revenue.

■Background

In the domestic e-commerce market, the market size for post-payment services is increasing year by year, estimated at approximately 1.53 trillion yen in FY2023 (a 21.5% increase from the previous year) and projected to expand to approximately 2.8 trillion yen by FY2028. Not only are non-credit card holders, such as young people and homemakers, utilizing post-payment services, but credit card holders are also increasingly using them in conjunction with their cards when shopping online (※1). To maximize sales opportunities for businesses, STORES Online Shop has been expanding its range of payment methods and has now integrated atone.
