Rakuten Pay is a widely embraced payment app in Japan. It allows users to conduct transactions using their Rakuten ID and mobile phone. Beyond the convenience of going cashless and cardless, users enjoy the added advantage of accruing points, redeemable for purchases across Rakuten’s expansive network.
For eCommerce businesses seeking to expand their user base in Japan, integrating Rakuten Pay as a payment option presents a valuable opportunity. Thanks to Rakuten Pay’s popularity and convenience, this integration can improve customer satisfaction and potentially attract a larger user base.
This article will explain what Rakuten Pay is and weighs the advantages and disadvantages of incorporating it as a payment option in your store.
Rakuten Pay integrates with various Rakuten services, such as Rakuten Mobile, Rakuten Bank, and Rakuten Travel, and the company’s proprietary credit card, Rakuten Card. This integration offers users a convenient and secure payment solution for online and offline transactions and an excellent way to accumulate points for purchases within the Rakuten network. As of 2023, the number of registered member IDs on Rakuten is over 100 million.
Despite not being the most preferred payment app in Japan, a title held by SoftBank Group and LY Corporation’s PayPay app with 61 million users as of December 2023, Rakuten Pay has still managed to amass an impressive user base. While no official number has been released, it’s estimated that Rakuten Pay has a user base of about 44 million, according to the Industry trends website EccLab (Japanese).
Rakuten Pay is widely accessible and available in over 5 million stores throughout Japan. Moreover, it integrates with internationally recognized payment apps like Alipay, Union Pay, and WeChat Pay.
In 2023, the growth in the number of users for Rakuten Pay and Rakuten Card, along with an increasing acceptance of these services by various establishments, resulted in revenue of 75 billion yen, marking a significant 35.7% year-over-year increase as of February 2024.
