7-Eleven expands payment options with Alipay+

7-Eleven Malaysia has announced a significant development in its payment options by integrating Alipay+ across all its stores in collaboration with Razer Merchant Services.

This expansion allows users of popular Asian mobile wallets, including AlipayHK, GCash, Kakao Pay, and TrueMoney, to conveniently make payments using their home mobile wallets at any 7-Eleven store in Malaysia. Alipay, as an Alipay+ partner mobile wallet, has been accepted by Malaysian merchants since 2016.

This integration aims to provide a seamless and hassle-free digital payment experience for visitors from around the world, enhancing the overall travel experience in Malaysia.

Convenience and extensive coverage of 7-Eleven

7-Eleven Malaysia boasts an extensive network of stores, making it a convenient choice for locals and tourists alike.

With a presence in numerous cities nationwide, including urban areas, tourist hotspots, transportation hubs, and residential neighbourhoods, 7-Eleven offers wide coverage and accessibility.

Beyond the usual convenience stores offerings, such as snacks and daily necessities, 7-Eleven Malaysia provides an array of travel essentials, including travel-sized toiletries, phone chargers, travel adapters, and ready-to-eat meals.

This comprehensive range of products ensures that travellers can find everything they need conveniently in one place, saving them time and effort during their trip.

Razer Merchant Services empowering digital transformation

Razer Merchant Services (RMS), the business-to-business solution of Razer Fintech, acts as the acquiring partner to facilitate the integration of Alipay+ across more than 2,400 7-Eleven stores in Malaysia.

This collaboration strengthens the relationship between Razer and 7-Eleven while empowering the convenience store chain to tap into the vast opportunities offered by the digital economy. By offering convenient payment options for both locals and tourists, 7-Eleven can enhance the overall shopping experience and drive growth.

With this latest development, Alipay+ is now accepted at over 80,000 merchant touchpoints in Malaysia, including popular travel destinations like Klang Valley, Johor Bahru, and Penang. Various industries, including retail, F&B, and hospitality, benefit from the integration, with well-known local and international brands.

This widespread acceptance enables Asian travellers to enjoy a more convenient digital travel experience, contributing to Malaysia’s goal of attracting more tourists.

The acceptance of Alipay+ at 7-Eleven stores adds to the growing coverage of Alipay+ in Malaysia, connecting Asian travellers with local merchants and positioning Malaysia as a preferred travel destination.

The partnership between 7-Eleven, Razer Merchant Services, and Alipay+ unlocks new opportunities for local businesses while offering convenience to travellers. As Malaysia allocates RM250 million to promote the tourism sector and anticipates a surge in tourist arrivals, the seamless digital payment experience provided by Alipay+ supports the country’s efforts to enhance its appeal.

Dr Cherry Huang, General Manager of Alipay+ Offline Merchant Services at Ant Group, emphasized the importance of connecting Asian travellers with local merchants, unlocking new opportunities and promoting a positive digital ecosystem.

The Alipay+ integration in Malaysia aligns with Alipay’s goal of enabling local businesses to process various mobile payment methods and reach over 1 billion consumers regionally and globally.
