Differences of functions when au PAY (Online Payment) is used via SBPS
When using au PAY (Online Payment), SBPS will incorporate the various interface specifications of au PAY (Online Payment) and the differences in specifications for each additional payment method into SBPS’s standard payment function. Therefore, Merchants can connect with the payment system and manage the payment processing without worrying about the payment methods actually used by the end users.

Test by Merchant
In some cases, the Merchant's special app and external browser may control the start of external apps causing the au PAY app to fail to start.
To avoid this behavior, we recommend that the Merchant tests in advance that the au PAY app properly starts and the control is given to the au PAY app properly.
As for a recommended test method, SBPS sales representative will provide a material separately.

Unauthorized Usage Investigations and Chargebacks
As a result of a complaint from the end user due to defective items or use that he/she is not aware of, or doubts about unauthorized use by a third party, KDDI may conduct unauthorized usage investigation or a chargeback (refusal of factoring) may be made. Upon receipt of notification from KDDI, SBPS will promptly report it to the relevant Merchant. Then, the Merchant is encouraged to take action in accordance with the notification. Note that if the charge back is fixed, the relevant sales amount will be excluded from settlement and be borne by the Merchant. For details, see the statement of material importance submitted when applying for the service.
Note that if the credit card payment is used as an additional payment method, a notification may be sent directly from the credit card company or a payment agency company subcontracting with KDDI bypassing SBPS.

Specifications
au PAY (Online Payment) is provided by incorporating the service provided by KDDI into the Online Payment ASP Service provided by SBPS. Note that if KDDI makes a change to the specifications or economic requirements, the specifications of au PAY (Online Payment) provided by SBPS may also change.

Service Suspension Due to Maintenance, etc.
Maintenance of the Online Payment ASP Service is performed on an irregular basis. Any service suspension due to maintenance will be notified in advance. As a rule, such a notification is made one week before the suspension. However, this may not be the case in the event of emergency maintenance.
If the service is suspended due to maintenance or the failure of KDDI or its partner systems that are not SBPS systems, SBPS will promptly report it to Merchants as soon as we become aware of the situation and then find out the cause. Note that although SBPS will report to Merchants as soon as we find out the cause, it may take time to determine the cause if the problem is not attributable to us.
