Payment providers for chinese users?

Postby wildbunny » August 21st, 2011, 11:56 am

Hi guys,

Following my recent hacking problem, I'm also interested to know if any of the any of the supported payment providers are effective at monetising chinese users?

Cheers, Paul.

I found this while digging around on the net:

http://www.east-west-connect.com/china- ... t-solution

Summary: Alipay is the most popular choice for non-chinese businesses, but you need to pay them $1K USD as a set-up fee, and their web interface is chinese only... FAIL.

We haven´t really looked into payment providers for the chinese market, i think some of the existing ones will work though?

If you find any good ones that cover most of the area, we might be able to build an integration with them.

Have a read of that article I posted - the only one which is worth it/possible is Alipay, they cover 50% of the chinese market. But their sign-up page is in chinese language only...

Hmm... that won't do --- we don't speak an inch of chinese.

I think this is going to be one of those "if enough people requests it.." type things.
