TOKYO, February 19, 2024 – DEGICA, the operator behind the digital payment platform KOMOJU, has initiated a groundbreaking collaboration with NTT Docomo’s “dPayment” service for businesses on Shopify. This integration, which started on February 19, 2023, allows Shopify merchants to seamlessly incorporate “dPayment”, a mobile payment solution used by over 57 million users in Japan, into their e-commerce sites without the need for additional development.
KOMOJU’s integration with “dPayment” on Shopify represents a significant step forward in the adoption of cashless payment solutions, aligning with Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry’s goal to increase the cashless payment ratio to the world’s highest level of 80%. “dPayment” offers comprehensive security measures, including authentication through Docomo’s network, 3D Secure authentication, round-the-clock fraud monitoring, and compensation for unauthorized use, ensuring a secure and reliable payment experience for users.
For businesses aiming to enhance their e-commerce capabilities, adopting KOMOJU’s digital payment platform can streamline operations, expand customer base globally, and provide a secure, versatile payment ecosystem that meets the needs of today’s digital commerce landscape.
