POS now accepts five more local payment methods for in-person sales through Shopify Payments, for eligible stores: Alipay, WeChat Pay, Satispay, Scalapay and GrabPay.
Once a method is enabled, the customer scans a QR code to pay. Shopify says no extra integration is needed, so there is nothing to install.
Everything is supported directly within Shopify Payments
Why it matters
A payment method a shopper trusts can remove a reason to leave without buying. Shopify says this helps with local shoppers and with tourists who prefer these methods or have no other option. If your store sees visitors from those markets, it could mean more completed sales at the counter.
What to do this week
- Check whether your store is eligible and which of the five methods are offered in your country. Availability varies by country.
- Open Payments settings in admin and turn on the methods you want.
- Test one QR payment at the till before a busy period.
If your customers already pay in other ways, nothing is required.
