# ネットスターズ

## Wiki route

This entry sits under [[payment-firms/INDEX|payment-firms INDEX]]. Read it with [[payment-firms/gmo-payment-gateway|GMO Payment Gateway]] and [[payment-firms/dg-financial-technology|DG Financial Technology]] for PSP peer context, and with [[payments/funds-transfer-service-providers-japan-index|funds-transfer registry]] for the broader regulatory boundary.

## Overview

株式会社ネットスターズ is a QR / multi-cashless payment gateway operator whose StarPay service connects merchants with multiple payment brands. The company profile lists registration as a credit-card-number handling contract concluding operator and funds-transfer service provider; the FSA funds-transfer list records it as 関東財務局長 第00098号 with registration date 2025-03-19.

For FinWiki, Netstars is the specialist route for QR gateway aggregation, not a consumer wallet like [[payment-firms/paypay|PayPay]] or [[payment-firms/merpay|Merpay]]. It sits between merchants, payment brands, PSP risk controls, and cross-border code-payment acceptance.

## 2. Business Role

- Netstars' official profile says the company began QR code payment business in 2015 and deepens StarPay as a gateway connecting payments and businesses.
- Its services page presents StarPay as a multi-cashless payment solution that integrates payment-service application and management.
- The strategic value is merchant-side aggregation: one integration can connect multiple code-payment brands and settlement experiences.

## 3. Why This Standalone Page Matters

[[payments/japan-code-payment-competitive-map|Japan code-payment competition]] is not only a fight among consumer apps. Merchant acceptance is mediated by gateways and PSPs such as Netstars, [[payment-firms/gmo-payment-gateway|GMO-PG]], [[payment-firms/sb-payment-service|SB Payment Service]], and [[payment-firms/dg-financial-technology|DGFT]]. Netstars deserves a standalone page because QR aggregation changes distribution power at the store edge.
