Japanese convenience store chain Lawson is set to run a proof-of-concept trial for stablecoin payments at two locations in Tokyo, using USDC, USDT and JPYC. The trial will work through the company’s existing point-of-sale system, with payments completed by scanning a digital wallet barcode rather than using dedicated terminal hardware. The first test is scheduled for Aug. 6 at the Lawson Takanawa Gateway City store and will use HashPort Wallet and JPYC. A second test is planned for Aug. 17 at Gate City Osaki Atrium, where MetaMask will be used to support payments in all three stablecoins. Settlement data will be processed through Canal Payment Services’ PAYTREE gateway. Lawson said the trial is intended to evaluate payment speed, system integration and day-to-day operational flow before deciding whether the model should be rolled out more broadly.

What Lawson plans to assess
Settlement data will be handled through Canal Payment Services’ PAYTREE gateway. Lawson plans to assess payment speed, system integration and daily operating processes to decide whether a wider rollout makes sense.
