LINE Pay

LINE Pay is a payment service that LINE users can use at participating merchants.
There are two types of APIs: Online API, which lets users use LINE Pay on online shopping sites, and Offline API, which lets users use LINE Pay on POS systems in physical stores.
The Online API lets use "General Payment," "LINE Checkout," and "Automatic Payment," while the Offline API lets you use "General Payment."

*Applications for new and additional merchants for "Print QR," "LINE POS," "LINE Pay Payment Link," "StarPay," and "POS Register," which can be used offline, have been suspended since September 30, 2021.

Payment method	Description
General payment	This is the basic payment method. For offline payments, the API is designed to display QR codes or barcodes from the user's LINE app or the dedicated LINE Pay app and scan them with the physical store's POS system to make payment. For online payments, the API lets you log in to LINE Pay, switch to the LINE App, and then pay using your LINE Pay balance or Charge & Pay.
LINE Checkout	You can use the same payment method as "General Payment". Also, when delivering products, the service can get the name, phone number, address, and other information registered in "LINE Profile+" with the consent of the end user. Once the shipping address information is registered on the LINE Pay side, the information received from LINE Profile+ will be omitted thereafter.
Automatic payment	This method lets you select the same payment method as the "General Payment" for the first time, and all later payments will be made automatically.

End users can pay with either their LINE Pay balance or Charge & Pay (credit card). You can also use the LINE Points you've already acquired at the same time.

End-user benefits

Smooth shopping

Using a smartphone, you can shop easily and smoothly.

At a physical store, you can simply display the code on your smartphone or scan the store code with your smartphone to complete the payment.

If you're an online member store, simply select LINE Pay as the payment method, check the delivery address, complete the order, and wait for the product to be delivered.

Free yourself from the various stresses of online shopping

LINE Pay can be combined with the Messaging API, LIFF app, and LINE MINI App to free end users from a variety of stresses.

For example, consider the stress faced by end users who want to buy a product.

They have to open their browser again and go to another site to log in or register.
They have to manually enter their name and address.
They have to make sure that the site is secure and then correctly enter their credit card information.

LINE Pay is the perfect solution to free end users from these various stresses and allows them to smoothly purchase products.

Service provider benefits

Reduce user exit rate

You can add the LINE Pay payment function to your LINE Official Account, LIFF App, and LINE Mini App.
From sending promotional messages with your LINE Official Account to selecting products with the LIFF App or LINE Mini App, you can give end users a smooth experience from start to finish.
By providing a smooth UX, you can expect to minimize the possibility of end users leaving the site at the time when the screen switches or when they enter text.

User information usage

By supporting LINE Checkout, user information such as the name and address registered by the end user in LINE Profile+ can be used for payment with user consent.

You can expect to avoid opportunity loss due to the user having to enter information each time.

Add the LINE Official Account as a friend at the time of payment

When making a payment with LINE Pay, the user can add the service provider's LINE Official Account as a friend without having to perform any special actions.

You can smoothly provide your LINE Official Account as a stress-free communication channel/application with your users.
