Net Protections Inc. (headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Shin Shibata; “Net Protections”) is pleased to announce that our Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) service, atone, is now integrated as a payment option on STORES Online Store, a service provided by STORES Inc. (headquartered in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yusuke Sato).
About the Implementation
STORES provides a comprehensive suite of services to support the digitalization of businesses, including e-commerce platform creation, POS registers, cashless payment solutions, and online reservation systems. This integration connects STORES Online Store with atone, the BNPL service provided by Net Protections.
Benefits of this Integration
Through this integration, atone has been adopted as a standard payment method for merchants within STORES Online Store. This allows Net Protections to offer the atone payment experience to a broad merchant base without requiring them to perform individual setup procedures or custom development. Merchants can now enjoy the benefits that atone excels at—such as preventing cart abandonment and acquiring new customers—without an implementation burden, thereby driving sales growth and improving LTV (Lifetime Value)
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.
