Japan is one of Stripe's key Asian markets, where Stripe is widely used by SaaS companies and tech startups. The 3.6% flat rate (no fixed fee) makes it proportionally cheaper for low-value transactions.
Stripe supports Japan-specific payment methods including Konbini (convenience store payments) at ¥190 flat fee — popular with Japanese consumers who prefer cash. Bank transfers (Furikomu) are also commonly used for B2B transactions.
At 3.6% + ¥0.00 domestic (4.6% + ¥0.00 international), here's what Stripe charges across common transaction amounts.
