Convenience store payment integrations

Create middleware helping apps connect to Japanese convenience store payment systems. Serves foreign businesses expanding locally.

Why now

Japan's cashless adoption is accelerating but payment APIs remain fragmented.

Who for
Cross-border SaaS companies
Business model
Transaction fees
Effort
A few months

International apps struggle with Japanese payment methods like Famima/PayPay. A unified API could:

  • Handle regional KYC
  • Convert currencies
  • Provide fallback options

Start with documentation sandbox, then add major chains. Charge per transaction.

Risk: Tight margins in payment processing.
