Hit Corporation, based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has announced a strategic collaboration with Topwise Communication, a global leader in payment terminals located in Shenzhen, China. This partnership aims to enhance the Japanese market offerings in payment solutions, especially catering to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
As part of this collaboration, Hit Corporation will launch Topwise’s next-generation smart payment terminals, the "T6 Series" and the sound box-type terminal "Q1," which will be positioned as key products for SMB strategy in Japan. This initiative promises to combine Topwise's advanced hardware with Hit Corporation's domestic support, facilitating digital transformation (DX) for stores across the country.
Official Launch at RetailTech Japan 2026
The newly developed products will make their debut at the "RetailTech Japan 2026" event, commencing on March 3, 2026, at Tokyo Big Sight. This exhibition will include demonstrations and first looks at how these devices will operate in real-world scenarios, showcasing their innovative features to attendees.
Addressing SMB Needs with Comprehensive Support

This includes a comprehensive maintenance network, "HIT Lifecycle Care," managed through their domestic repair center.
