Communicate with end users offline and online

With LIFF / LINE MINI App, you can get a user ID to identify the end user's LINE account. We also provide a mechanism to securely link the acquired user ID and existing end user data.

By using these mechanisms and existing membership cards, point cards, etc., it's possible to communicate with end users based on their behavioral history within the service, no matter if they're offline or online.

For example, you can send campaign information and distribute coupons tailored to each end user through your LINE Official Account.

In addition, since the LINE Official Account can send notifications to end users in real time, you can attract customers to your stores according to the sales status of your products.

It can reduce congestion in front of the cash register, prevent infections, and save money

Since end users can make payments using their smartphones, there's no need to introduce self-checkout systems and the number of cashiers can be reduced, saving money. Also, by reducing the number of people waiting at the cash register, the system can help prevent infections.
