New to Japan? Let's Learn to Use PayPay and Get 300 Points for Free! The First Step to Saving Money!

Hello!

Welcome to Japan for newcomers! It's natural to feel a bit new and confused about everything after arriving, especially the payment methods.

Today, I will teach you about Japan's most popular and essential app, PayPay (ペイペイ). If you use this app, paying at every store becomes extremely easy, and you'll also start saving money.

What is PayPay? 🤔

It's a digital wallet on your mobile, similar to Nepal's eSewa/Khalti. Using PayPay is much more advantageous than using cash. When you pay with PayPay, you frequently get Point Back, which you don't get when using cash. The points collected this way lead to Money Saving, and you can later use these points to buy items.

You can pay with PayPay at almost every shop in Japan, from convenience stores and supermarkets to restaurants. Get rid of the hassle of carrying a wallet every time!

🎁 Good News! (You'll get points worth 300 yen for free (Free) on your first download!)
