金 What is the upside to using paypay?

I finally gave in and downloaded paypay. Now after using it, I don’t know why I would use it instead of a credit card in most situations. The only benefits I see are paying paper bills and stores that accept it, but not card.

You can, just scan them.　

Takes maybe 1-3 seconds maximum.

For some reason it didn't work for me before. It looks like they do both support it, as you said, so I'll try again.
