Businesses of all sizes can deploy Stripe’s platform to accept Furikomi and Konbini payments through a single integration.
They can use the Furikomi method to securely transfer funds directly from their bank accounts. It is said to be the broadly used payment method for business-to-business (B2B) transactions in the country.
The Furikomi solution will also help efficiently handle refunds. It allows businesses to partially or even fully refund bank transfers within the Stripe dashboard.
Stripe Japan country lead Daisuke Aranami said: “Stripe is providing technology solutions that help Japanese businesses digitally transform and save days of work each year.”
