Start of Data Linkage Between “VeriTrans Atobarai” Post-settlement Payment Service and “VeriTrans 4G” Comprehensive Payment Solution

VeriTrans Inc. (HQ: Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Hiroshi Shino; VeriTrans), a payment service provider and subsidiary of Digital Garage, Inc. (TSE first section: 4819; HQ: Tokyo; Representative Director, President Executive Officer and Group CEO: Kaoru Hayashi; DG), starts data linkage between “VeriTrans 4G” a comprehensive payment solution and “VeriTrans Atobarai”, a post-settlement payment service developed from a system provided by SCORE Co.,Ltd (HQ: Kyoto; President and Representative Director: Hikaru Kitahara; SCORE), a joint venture between VeriTrans and Nissen Co., Ltd. in the post-settlement payment business.

■ Outline of data linkage with “VeriTrans Atobarai”

“VeriTrans Atobarai” was launched in January 2019 for participating merchants using “VeriTrans4G”. E-commerce customers can use “VeriTrans Atobarai” to pay for products and services after they have received their purchases at a convenience store or post office. “VeriTrans4G” participating merchants can use “VeriTrans Atobarai” under the same contract, and can calculate and manage collected money deposited by customers, together with other payment methods.

Data linked between “VeriTrans Atobarai” and “VeriTrans4G” corresponds with six types of APIs required for using post-settlement payment services: order registration information, order change information, credit examination results, cancellations, invoice data, and shipping information. Merchants usually have to develop links between APIs offered by post-settlement payment service business operators. However, merchants can easily add post-settlement payments by installing “VeriTrans4G MDK” (a module for the batch management and processing of multiple payment methods), which reduces the development workload.

After installation, transaction data can be centrally managed on our administration dashboard. Transaction data for post-settlement payments can be individually extracted and aggregated. In addition, collected money is settled or transferred in a lump sum with the settlement of other payments to minimize the operational load.
