Cautions
Payment Refunds
Please note that due to the connection specifications with Rakuten Edy system, if the notification of Payment result fails (including Not Approved), rollback may not be possible and the charge may still be incurred. In this case, it is necessary to contact the end user and process the refund.
In addition, we use the "Edy Gift" service for Refund. This is a service in which the end user must explicitly receive the amount. In the unlikely event that the end user is unable to receive the "Edy Gift" within the Refund deadline on Rakuten Edy Card or Mobile Rakuten Edy app, the amount will be returned to merchant as a "Refund" on the statement of the month following Refund deadline, so we ask that merchant Refund directly to the end user.
