Professional baseball Softbank plans to shift to cashless payments at its home base "PayPay Dome" during the next season, in principle, and will conduct a trial for 4 days including the 31st to identify the issues when transitioning. We are cleaning up.

Softbank plans to shift to cashless payments in principle within the PayPay Dome, which is based in Fukuoka City, during the next season.



At the Dome, July 30th and 31st, and August 6th and 7th are designated as "cashless days", and we are working to identify the issues when shopping is made only cashless. .



Inside the dome, there were four devices for inserting cash into IC cards and smartphone apps, and there was a long line.



A woman in her 70s who brought only cash said, "When she tried to shop, she was told that she couldn't do it with cash, so she was surprised."



A man in his 30s who usually goes cashless shopping said, "I didn't know it was cashless, but there is no problem at all."

Sayaka Kamikihara, Head of Public Relations and Planning Division of Softbank, said, "I think that full-scale introduction after the next season will be possible only with the strict voice of customers. I would like to identify issues that we have not anticipated." .
