Walmart fully access Alipay

The retail giant Wal-Mart announced today that its national stores will be gradually connected to Alipay. In addition to the Shenzhen store that began accessing Alipay in May, 97 Walmart stores and Sam's Club stores in nine cities will be accepted to pay for Alipay, further enhancing the customer's shopping experience.

Currently, Walmart provides Alipay payment services in more than 120 stores in Shenzhen, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Wuhan, Dalian, Fuzhou and Changzhou. When customers in these cities check out at Wal-Mart Stores, they only need to present their Alipay payment code, and the cashier can scan with a bar-coded gun to complete the payment. It takes about 2 seconds. In order to ensure the safety of mobile payments and protect the rights and interests of customers, the technical departments of the two sides have made extensive preparations for the early technology docking to ensure the accuracy of front-end code scanning and the stability of back-end technology.

Mobile payment is only the first step for Wal-Mart to cooperate with Alipay. In the future, both parties will also cooperate in big data mining to provide customers with a better shopping experience. Analysis of the industry, Wal-Mart and Alipay, a retail giant, one is the first platform for mobile payments, the combination of the two is a typical "Internet +" cross-border integration, there is a lot of room for imagination. With Alipay's big data analysis capabilities, Wal-Mart can also analyze user portraits and spending habits with its own large-scale consumer database, and then conduct more accurate customer operations. ”
