Triniteq now certified to offer Alipay! Use it now through Tyro

Triniteq has recently been certified to offer Alipay, the world's largest payment platform, through Tyro's integrated EFTPOS solution for both WaiterPOS and our new Point of Sale software, PowerEPOS.

The availability of Alipay presents a huge opportunity for Australian hospitality businesses to increase visits and make more profit. According to Tourism Australia, in 2018 1.4M Chinese visitors to Australia spent over $11.7 billion making Chinese visitors Australia's largest inbound market. Through Triniteq’s Tyro integration, you can now offer your overseas customers further payment options and increase overseas spending through the availability of Alipay.

Look...over there. We can pay by Alipay!

Alipay & Mobile Payments
Operated by Alibaba Group’s affiliate Ant Financial, Alipay is the world’s leading mobile and online payment platform. According to TechCrunch, Jan 29, 2019, Alipay reached 1 billion active users in China and overseas.

Overseas mobile payments are fueling Chinese tourism according to a 2017 survey conducted by Neilsen. Data from the survey on Chinese Tourists using mobile payments overseas found that:

  • 65% of Chinese tourists use mobile payment platforms during their overseas travels (compared to 11% of non-Chinese tourists)
  • 99% of Chinese tourists use the Alipay eWallet app on their phone
  • 90% of Chinese tourists would consider using Alipay when traveling abroad if Alipay were more widely accepted among foreign merchants
  • 90% of Chinese tourists indicated they would increase their spending if Alipay were an accepted payment method.
