Japanese Payment Options

Japanese payment options (JPO) extend the
Cybersource
payment card processing features to support payment methods used only in Japan. Japanese issuers, cardholders, merchants, and acquirers recognize payment methods that clarify the nature of a payment. JPO provides for more fine-grained identification of one-time payments and installment payments. You can offer your customers JPO payment methods that they select at the time of purchase.
JPO supports these payment methods:
  • Single payment
  • Bonus payment
  • Installment payment
  • Revolving payment
  • Combination of bonus payment and installment payment
Requests with Japanese payment options are accepted independently of your agreements with acquirers. When you submit a request with one of these payment options but do not have the necessary contracts and agreements in place, an error might not occur until the acquirer processes the settlement file.
