China UnionPay and Ant Group Launch Full-Featured Integrated Terminal, Supporting Alipay Tap!, Domestic and International Bank Cards, QR Code Payments, and More
IT之家 November 12 news: Alipay said in an official post that the "full-featured integrated innovative terminal" jointly developed and promoted by China UnionPay and Ant Group was launched nationwide today at Intime Commercial's Xi'an Bell Tower Kaiyuan Mall.
IT之家 has learned that the terminal's biggest feature is that one machine accepts all payments. It supports mainstream payment methods including Alipay Tap!, domestic and international bank cards, QR code payments, mobile Pay, and digital RMB.
According to the official statement, for merchants, there is no need to deal with multiple different devices; one terminal can handle more payment needs. For consumers, the experience is better and the threshold is lower. Inbound tourists visiting shopping malls and buying things in China do not need to repeatedly check "can I pay here," and older people and visually impaired people can also choose the payment method that suits them better.

According to the introduction, since its launch in July 2024, Alipay Tap! has covered 2,200细分 scenarios such as ordering food and travel, connected to 30 million offline locations, and served 400 million users.
