Net Protections Inc. (headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Shin Shibata; “Net Protections”) is pleased to announce the introduction of our Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) service, atone (“Pay Later Per Purchase”), on Qoo10, an online marketplace operated by eBay Japan G.K. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Jaehyun Koo). In celebration we will also launch a special promo campaign.

Reason for Implementation

Qoo10 is  an online marketplace l that offers a wide selection of 1.2 billion products, including cosmetics, apparel, and food, with its gross merchandise volume reaching new record highs each year. Since 2019, Qoo10 has been utilizing the BNPL service atone, which is particularly popular among female users in their 20s-30s. In order to further enhance its payment experience, Qoo10 introduced atone Pay in 10 days. This service offers an immediate usability without membership registration, which allows easier and smoother payment experience for first-time users. By utilizing both atone Pay in 10 days, andatone Next-month payment, which allows users to accumulate reward points for savings, Qoo10 can effectively drive both repeat customer retention and customer acquisition. These benefits were highly evaluated, leading to the decision to introduce the service.

About atone

atone is a BNPL service for both online and in-store purchases. Users can make purchases immediately and pay for them later without registering a bank account, credit card, or adding funds. On the other hand, atone merchants can prevent cart abandonment which customers leave the site without completing their purchase. In offline stores, atone can contribute to cashless without losing customers who own credit cards but do not use them. The reward points program makes new acquisition and repeat purchases much easier.
