Abstract

See full text

A point storage unit stores points, which are imparted to the user in an electronic commerce, in association with user identification information. A link request receiving unit receives a link request for linking user identification information and membership card identification information for identifying a membership card for receiving points imparted at an actual shop. In a case where the link request is received, a link information storage unit stores link information indicating a link between the user identification information and the membership card identification information. In a case where a point use request with a designation of the membership card identification information is received, a use permission unit permits use of the points stored in association with the user identification information linked to the membership card identification information.
