Splitit Payments (ASX:SPT) has formed a partnership with third-party mobile and online payment platform Alipay to fuel the ‘pay after delivery’ for shoppers on AliExpress.
The company says ‘pay after delivery’ represents its new instalment service that allows consumers to pay for goods after delivery with their existing credit card, and will utilise its flexible technology platform in conjunction with Checkout.com’s payment-acquiring capabilities.
Adding on, the company says the agreement leverages its Instalments-as-a-service platform to create a custom-branded experience embedded in the AliExpress checkout flow.
It is reported the service will initially launch in Germany, Spain, and France, with plans to expand into other international markets.
Speaking on the partnership, Splitit Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Nandan Sheth said: “Our work with Alipay is a testament to the flexibility of Splitit’s platform and the strength of our new partnership with Checkout.com. Together we are providing a valuable resource for sellers and shoppers by powering payment after delivery. We are thrilled to collaborate with two exemplary companies like Alipay and Checkout.com. I look forward to building on this initial launch by expanding into other markets in the future.”
