Overview
econtext is a payment gateway and payment service provider operating in Japan. It serves companies that sell to Japanese customers and want to accept payments through a local provider.
What a payment gateway does
A gateway connects the seller's website or app with banks and payment systems. The buyer picks a payment method, the gateway sends the data for processing, and the merchant receives a confirmation and then the funds. A good gateway also handles data security and transaction reporting.
The Japanese market
Japanese shoppers use not only cards but also local payment options, including cash payments at convenience stores and bank transfers. That is why foreign businesses usually do better with a local provider that understands these habits and supports Japanese methods.
Who it suits
- online stores and services with a Japanese audience;
- foreign companies entering the Japanese market;
- digital products and subscriptions.
What to ask
The list of payment methods, pricing, payout timing and integration options are not detailed publicly. When sending a request, describe your product, average ticket and expected volume to get an offer faster.
