[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-gyu Lee] Naver announced on the 21st that it will fully support the payment fees incurred when using 'Naver Pay In-store Payment' until the end of the year for beauty salons and nail shops struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.


Launched in November last year, Naver Pay In-store Payment is a simple payment feature that allows customers who have made reservations through Naver to pay the amount on-site using their smartphones. Any business using the 'Naver Reservation' service can activate and use this feature through the Reservation Partner Center.


With this payment fee support policy, business owners in the beauty salon and nail shop sectors will be able to reduce their cost burden and continue their operations by receiving full support for card fees and simple payment fees on amounts paid via Naver Pay In-store Payment until the end of the year.


Additionally, Naver is running a promotion that rewards Naver Pay points to customers who use Naver Pay In-store Payment, aiming to increase customer satisfaction and help businesses attract regular customers.


Business owners can operate their stores more safely by utilizing the Naver Pay In-store Payment function along with the reservation feature. This minimizes contact between business owners and customers during the payment process and manages the visit times of reserved customers to reduce contact among customers, creating a safe service environment for both parties.



As the non-face-to-face (untact) culture spreads due to the impact of COVID-19, the number of stores using the Naver Pay In-store Payment function is increasing. Based on January 27, when the infectious disease crisis alert level was raised to 'Warning,' the number of beauty salons and nail shops newly adopting Naver Pay In-store Payment in the following four weeks increased by 218% compared to the previous four weeks, and the number of newly adopting stores in March increased by 108% compared to January. Se-hoon Lee, leader of Naver Glace CIC, said, "We hope that business owners can reduce their business burdens and focus on their core work in a safe environment."
