Drcom Launches Innovative Plan to Boost External Payment Usage in Apps

Drcom Unveils New Payment Plan for App Developers

In a significant move to assist app operators in maximizing their revenues, Drcom Co., Ltd., based in Shinagawa, Tokyo, has launched a new initiative called "Rooot for external payment". This plan emerges in response to recent regulatory changes under the Smart Phone Software Competition Promotion Act, allowing apps to guide users toward external payment services, specifically web-based payments.

As of December 18, 2025, this regulation will enable apps to link to external payment services without incurring hefty fees that often range from 15% to 20%. This shift places a premium on establishing unique routes that facilitate users' transition from within apps to external payment sites, thereby increasing potential profit margins for app developers.

The launch of "Rooot for external payment" capitalizes on Drcom's extensive experience, boasting over 300 successful promotional campaigns, to effectively drive traffic from external sources to payment pages, maximizing the potential for app operators.

The Rise of External Payment Services

With the upcoming implementation of the Smart Phone Software Competition Promotion Act, a pivotal change in the rules governing how apps operate has been set in motion. The new law allows apps to encourage users to opt for external payment services without facing penalties. As a result, the adoption of these payment services is expected to surge.

However, several barriers have hindered the effective utilization of external payment methods, even as many businesses have started to adopt them. These include:

1. Awareness Barrier: Users often lack knowledge about the existence and benefits of external payment options.
2. Navigation Barrier: Users may struggle to find where to initiate external payments, leading them to abandon the process prematurely.
3. Hassle Barrier: The mental and physical effort involved in transitioning outside the app can deter users.

As apps face ongoing fees associated with internal links, the strategy of creating a pathway that directs users directly to external payment services becomes critical for ensuring revenue maximization.

Features of the New Plan: Rooot for External Payment

The "Rooot for external payment" plan utilizes user-generated content (UGC) to become a vital driver in facilitating the shift towards external payment acceptance. This entails:

- Expanding Awareness through UGC: By encouraging fans to share positive experiences and content on platforms like X, the plan aims to generate authentic voices that amplify the reach, thereby dismantling the awareness barrier.
- Promoting Usage via Missions: Users can earn rewards by completing specific campaigns that require them to engage with external payment services, organically motivating them to visit these pages and eliminating navigation and hassle barriers.

Proven Effectiveness

Early implementations of "Rooot for external payment" have demonstrated impressive conversion rates. Following campaigns:

- Awareness: 60% of participants posted on X about the offered promotions.
- Incentivized Navigation: 69% of participants engaged with coupons usable for external payment services.
- High Utilization Rates: Among users who received coupons, a remarkable 94% proceeded to redeem them on external payment platforms.

By leveraging the capabilities of Rooot, businesses can not only amplify awareness but also translate this into real-time engagement with external payment services—it represents a highly effective strategy.

As app developers seek to sustain greater profitability while minimizing fee burdens, Drcom's "Rooot for external payment" should serve as a valuable asset.

The implementation of "Rooot for external payment" starts at ¥1,000,000, covering the creation of campaign pages and promotional materials. The setup can occur in as little as three weeks, ensuring a rapid rollout to boost external payment adoption and improve profitability.
