Alipay and PPRO collaborate on alternative payments for AliExpress in Europe

The PPRO Group, will collaborate in Europe with Alipay to offer new payment options for online shoppers of AliExpress, a global online marketplace for consumers to buy directly from Chinese businesses.

Alipay provides secure, trustworthy and convenient online and mobile payment services. Through the collaboration with The PPRO Group, shoppers are offered familiar alternative payment methods at the checkout pages.

Alipay provides a safe and secure payment service for AliExpress, which has seen steady organic growth in European markets. As a select European partner to Alipay, The PPRO Group will now manage payments using credit or debit card alternatives for AliExpress shoppers in Europe.

The phased rollout, which commenced in January 2015, will focus on the three most important alternative payment systems in Germany and the Netherlands – giropay, iDeal and Sofortüberweisung – all three of which The PPRO Group already collaborates closely with.

“The PPRO Group’s proven expertise in delivering alternative payments to consumers across the world, along with its ability to swiftly and flexibly roll-out new services, will support our vision and commitment to providing AliExpress customers in Europe with their preferred payment methods in a secure and convenient environment, whatever country they’re in, or device they’re using,” comments Griffin Peng, Head of Business Development for Alipay in Europe.
