WeChat Pay Offers Greater Convenience as Tenpay Launches a New Cross-Border Payment Experience
According to statistics from the Hong Kong Immigration Department, the number of mainland tourists visiting Hong Kong during this year’s May Day holiday increased by 24% compared to 2014, showing a continuous rise in travel and shopping enthusiasm among mainland visitors. As a leading cosmetics retail group in Asia, Sa Sa is almost a must-visit destination for female tourists in Hong Kong. To provide consumers with a more comfortable and convenient shopping experience, Sa Sa recently partnered with Tencent Tenpay to announce that all of Sa Sa’s offline retail stores in Hong Kong will fully support WeChat Pay. Customers can simply use their WeChat Wallet to purchase items in-store, making “cashless” shopping a more convenient experience.
It is reported that 10 Sa Sa stores in Hong Kong, including those in Causeway Bay’s Goldmark City, Royal Plaza, Tsim Sha Tsui’s Beijing Road, and Canton Road, will be the first to enable WeChat Pay starting on the 26th of this month, with plans for full rollout across all stores by the end of June. During the WeChat Pay launch period, Tenpay and Sa Sa are offering special promotions: customers who use WeChat Pay to purchase designated brands with a net value of HK$500 or more will enjoy an annual 5% discount; additionally, during the promotion period, customers who spend HK$100 (approximately RMB 80) or more using WeChat Pay at Sa Sa stores in Hong Kong will receive an instant HK$10 cash red packet, and can also purchase a variety of designated products at discounted prices.
