PayPay Corporation (PayPay Corp.), a joint venture of SoftBank Group Corp. and SoftBank Corp. and Yahoo Japan Corporation, have released PayPay for Business that is the app version of a payment management tool for merchants on July 23, 2019.
PayPay for Business is a tool for merchants to manage information on payments and sales made by PayPay. Until now, only the web version of PayPay for Business that can be used with a browser on a PC or smartphone has been provided. With the released app version, merchants can more easily and conveniently do things, including making refunds and checkking sales, using only smartphones.
With the web version of PayPay for Business, a merchant can display a QR code and manage a payment in the User Scan (scan payment) method in which the user reads the QR code of the merchant, using the PayPay for Business app. Furthermore, as a specification only for the app version, there are two newly added functions: a QR code reading function and a payment management function in the Store Scan (code payment) method in which the merchant reads the QR code displayed by the user on a smartphone or the like.
In the future, PayPay Corp. plans to develop and update functions in PayPay for Business that allows customers and merchants to use PayPay more conveniently, for example, a function allowing the merchants to issue their own coupons.
The main functions of the app version of PayPay for Business are as follows.
(1) Payments are possible either in the Store Scan (code payment) method or the User Scan (scan payment) method.
When you tap “Receive” in the bottom of the screen, you can read the QR code of the user in conjunction with the smartphone camera. In addition, when you tap “Receive by Barcode” in the bottom left part of the screen, you can display the QR code of the merchant.
