This is how the favourite method of your Chinese clients works

The Alipay system is a payment service belonging to Alibaba. Since its launch, it has become the most widely used mobile payment platform in China. So much so that many users consider it as a kind of PayPal that guarantees the security of payments and the protection of users.

All consumers need is to open an account from their mobile phones through the application. They can link it from the same debit or credit card. In addition, transactions are performed directly, without commissions or intermediaries.

Users who use this App can also link their faces to Alipay accounts, which offers a field of possibilities when they go to shops with facial recognition machines, or even through their fingerprints as in other Android payment systems.

In short, Alipay can be used in most Chinese stores, but this method is spreading to e-commerce in other European countries due to its facilities. We have it clear: we help your business to include this system with PayXpert for several reasons:

Alipay’s growth in e-Commerce in Europe

In 2019, the payment platform announced its goal of supporting 10 million European SMEs for the next five years. It would do so using innovative technology that would enable merchants to improve their services, as well as sell to more than 2 billion potential customers traveling to Europe.

According to Eric Jing, President and CEO of Ant Financial: “Our aim is to improve the way in which individuals and businesses buy, sell and receive payments, and to do this, we need to draw upon the strength of our partnerships. Our growth has only been possible due to the network of partners we have established, and working together, we will make it easier for anyone to do business anywhere.”

Thanks to PayXpert, European e-business can easily include this solution in their online payment forms, enhancing the service to the growing number of tourists and e-commerce buyers around the world.

Proof of its growth in the last year has been the spending of Chinese tourists in Golden Week, a vacation period from 1 to 7 October. Spain was the third country where they spent the most according to data provided by the platform. The figures ranged around 12,000 yuan (approximately 1,364 pounds). As TPVnews has pointed out: “This represents a year-on-year increase of more than 48%. Besides, the total volume of transactions performed by Chinese tourists in Spain rises more than 200%, compared to the same period of the previous year, the country with the highest growth in Europe.”

After this development in purchases from Chinese clients, Madrid and Barcelona are said to already compete with cities such as Paris and London, as they are the places where shoppers from China buy the most. This was announced by Rodrigo Cipriani, CEO of Alibaba Group for Southern Europe and Managing Director of Alipay for Spain and Italy
