Rakuten Pay Online Payment Rolls Out on Uber Eats
This collaboration allows users to select the Rakuten Pay online payment service as their payment option when placing orders through Uber Eats, enabling easy and intuitive payment using the credit card information linked to the user’s Rakuten ID. Users will also be able to earn Rakuten Points*2 when ordering through Uber Eats and pay for orders using earned points. In addition, current users of both services will be able to log in to Uber Eats using their Rakuten ID, while new Uber Eats users will have the convenient option of creating an account through a simplified registration system using their Rakuten ID.

Additionally, existing Uber Eats users will receive Rakuten Points worth up to 3% of the order amount after the corresponding discount has been applied on all orders placed during the campaign period*5.
