About Merpay

Merpay is a mobile payment service integrated into the Mercari marketplace app. It allows users to use their Mercari sales balance and points for payments at retail stores and online, and supports the MerCard credit service.

Merpay is a mobile payment platform developed by Merpay, Inc. and tightly integrated with the Mercari marketplace ecosystem. It allows users to convert sales proceeds earned on Mercari into spendable balance for in-store and online purchases, creating a unified experience between selling and buying. Through the Mercari app, users can manage payments, balances, points, transaction history, and settlements from a single interface. The service supports QR code payments and iD contactless payments, making it usable at more than two million stores across Japan, including convenience stores, restaurants, pharmacies, and online merchants. Merpay also integrates with Mercard, its associated credit card service, allowing users to pay with credit while utilizing Merpay balances and points. Additional features include usage management, identity verification, rewards programs, and support for digital wallet services such as Apple service payments. By combining marketplace earnings, mobile payments, and credit functionality in one ecosystem, Merpay simplifies daily spending and enhances customer convenience.
