I strongly support adding Konbini payments to the official WooCommerce Stripe Gateway.
Konbini payment is one of the major payment methods used in Japanese e-commerce. For merchants selling to customers in Japan, not being able to offer convenience store payments can mean losing customers who prefer or need this payment option.
Stripe already supports Konbini payments in Japan, and my Stripe account has already been approved and enabled for this payment method. However, I cannot offer it to my customers simply because the official WooCommerce Stripe Gateway does not support it.
Alternative payment providers such as KOMOJU are available, but their transaction fees are higher than Stripe. Requiring Japanese WooCommerce merchants to use an additional payment provider for a payment method that Stripe already supports adds unnecessary cost and complexity.
I also believe this is important for the growth of WooCommerce in Japan. If WooCommerce wants to attract and retain more Japanese merchants, support for major local payment methods such as Konbini and PayPay is essential.
This is not just a minor feature request. It is an important localization requirement for the Japanese e-commerce market.
Please consider prioritizing native Konbini support in the official WooCommerce Stripe Gateway.
