Adyen has expanded its partnership with Alipay to allow retailers worldwide to accept non-cash payments from Chinese customers in store.
The partnership enables retailers using Adyen’s point of sale solution to take payments in store from Chinese consumers paying with their Alipay-enabled mobile device. The Alipay payment option is added as a new option to the existing payment terminal, with no need for additional devices or terminals.
“Europe and the US are popular destinations for the Chinese tourists, so it’s vital that retailers are able to cater to their needs,” said Souheil Badran, President, Alipay North America.
“Given the capabilities built into Adyen’s omnichannel service for retailers, as well as Alipay’s included marketing solution, we look forward to enhancing what it means to deliver an integrated retail solution for retailers.”
Roelant Prins, Chief Commercial Officer at Adyen, added that “Chinese tourists are an important audience for retailers to consider. At Adyen, we’re committed to making payment processes as easy as possible for retailers, while delivering a great experience for customers. Our partnership with Alipay helps retailers unlock an enormous opportunity to grow and gain more revenue. For Chinese customers traveling abroad, they will encounter the payment experience they are used to while at home.”
