アップガレージグループ, which operates the specialist reuse-store chain アップガレージ for car and motorcycle parts and accessories, has introduced PayPay Money Light as an option for receiving in-store purchase payments. Customers can receive the purchase payment as PayPay Money Light simply by scanning the QR code displayed after the appraisal is completed. The service is available at all company-operated stores and promotes the shift to cashless payments.
Against the backdrop of the government's push for cashless payments and digital transformation, the group, which aims to expand the reuse market, is seeking to improve convenience and encourage reuse among a broad range of customers. Receiving payment in PayPay Money Light allows customers to avoid carrying cash and is intended for light users, including those making small-value transactions for parts.
The service is provided by crediting PayPay Money Light after the QR code is scanned following appraisal; withdrawals are not permitted. It is designed for both customers who prefer cash and those who prefer cashless payments. An actual example at a fully cashless store showed that more than half of customers selected PayPay Money Light at launch, and the high overall usage rate is expected to influence future expansion.
アップガレージグループ, founded in 1999, is one of the largest players in the reuse of car and motorcycle parts and accessories, with more than 280 stores nationwide. It entered the bicycle reuse business in 2022 and the US market in 2024 as it pursues global expansion. Its brand slogan is "Good Mobility, Happy Life," and it plans to continue expanding its services.
