Korean female scholar suggested that the improvement of electronic payment needs to improve convenience
With the progress of science and technology, electronic payment methods such as Alipay and WeChat have gradually become popular among the Chinese people. However, expatriates traveling in China find it difficult to realize the convenience of online shopping when shopping online. In an interview with Phoenix TV, a Korean female scholar highlighted the need for China to improve electronic payment methods, and also noted some problems encountered by foreign tourists when shopping online.
No payment method is available for foreigners.
In China, Alipay and WeChat are commonplace. However, foreign friends who travel in China generally do not have functions such as Alipay and WeChat, and they do not know how to use mobile phones to make purchases. They often use bank cards and cash overseas, so it is difficult for them to adopt electronic payment models in China. Because they do not use Alipay or WeChat, foreign tourists cannot use China's electronic payment methods, and can only pay through other methods, which has a great impact on their travel life.
In addition, when expatriates make purchases in RMB, they often cannot find a suitable place to exchange them. In China, it is rare to pay in cash, and this has become a big problem for foreign travelers. They may just be buying a drink or some other small thing, but they find it difficult to find it. Such an experience will not only have a certain impact on the purchase sentiment of tourists, but also have a certain negative impact on the overall travel experience of tourists.
Real-name authentication is not friendly to information requirements.
A Korean student and tourist from South Korea also said that for foreign travelers, if they want to use Alipay or WeChat to pay, they will encounter some trouble. In order to achieve real-name authentication, overseas passengers must have the corresponding software and hold a Chinese mobile phone number, bank card and ID card before they can pay through Alipay or WeChat. However, most expatriates who come to China do not have any short-term residence visas, which means that they cannot apply for short-term credit cards or short-term visas. Without this foundation, whether it is Alipay or WeChat, it cannot be used. For foreign travelers, such identity verification and the information that needs to be provided will undoubtedly make them feel very uncomfortable and annoyed.
Improve the convenience of online payments.
Although China is one of the largest countries in the world, there is still a lot of room for development in the field of online payments. For foreign travelers, improving the convenience of online payment will have a direct bearing on China's overall image and travel experience. For China to attract more foreign tourists, the first thing to consider is how to overcome their electronic payment problems.
First of all, business people should further promote and promote e-commerce, which also includes cross-border card payments. At tourist attractions and places that are frequently visited, there should be a variety of terminals that can be used to make payments, such as POS, so that foreign tourists can pay with their credit cards. Consideration should also be given to collaborating with foreign payment agencies to allow foreign travelers to make purchases under the payment model in their home country.
Second, for foreign passengers who have not undergone real-name authentication, a dedicated online payment channel will be established. By streamlining the real-name authentication process and adding other convenient and fast authentication methods, overseas travelers can more easily bind Alipay and WeChat. In addition, it can also communicate with the relevant departments of relevant countries and regions or embassies abroad, and open online payment for foreign tourists.
Fourth, the relevant departments should strengthen the promotion of electronic payment methods in foreign tourism. When applying for a visa, foreign travelers should be introduced to China's online payment mode in advance, and corresponding suggestions and countermeasures should be put forward according to their actual needs. In this process, relevant policies should be formulated to promote the use of non-cash settlement by merchants, strengthen supervision and services, and lay the foundation for the safe and convenient use of electronic payment by overseas tourists.
The conclusion points out that China should not only show the world its unique characteristics and humanistic experience, but also pay attention to its convenient payment methods for shopping. Improving the convenience of online payment will not only improve the satisfaction of foreign travelers, but also contribute to China's international development and make its global influence more extensive. To this end, China should pay full attention to and take the initiative to handle online payment procedures for foreign tourists, and create more convenient and convenient payment methods for them, so that they can invest their funds in China with confidence.
Introduction: China is one of the largest countries in the world, and it has a huge attraction for tourists from all over the world. However, there are still many deficiencies in China's online payment. A South Korean female academic recently said in a television interview that the inconvenience of using electronic payment methods in China has attracted a lot of attention and discussion. This article discusses this and discusses how to improve the convenience of online payments.
Argument Summary: Making electronic payments more accessible to China is critical to developing into a global travel powerhouse.
