Tap Into The Chinese Market — No Extra Hardware Needed
With PayPlus, your existing PaySuite terminal becomes your gateway to millions of Chinese-speaking customers.
Chinese tourists and residents spend billions across New Zealand each year — yet most businesses are still turning them away without even knowing it. If your checkout doesn’t support WeChat Pay or Alipay, you’re leaving money on the table.
The Opportunity Hiding In Plain Sight
Chinese consumers overwhelmingly prefer paying by mobile wallet. Cash and international credit cards are an afterthought — WeChat Pay and Alipay are how they pay at home, and they expect the same abroad. Businesses that accommodate this preference don’t just make a sale; they earn loyalty and word-of-mouth that spreads fast in tight-knit Chinese communities.
Why The PaySuite Terminal Integration Is A Game-changer
PayPlus has directly integrated WeChat Pay and Alipay into the PAX terminal range available through Sektor’s PaySuite in New Zealand. This means you’re not buying new hardware, hiring a technician, or retraining your team. You’re simply enabling a new payment method on the device already sitting at your counter.
- No extra hardware – Your PAX terminal handles everything. No dedicated QR scanner or second device needed.
- No staff retraining – The checkout flow is familiar. Staff process the transaction just like any other payment.
- Settle in NZD – Customers pay in RMB, you receive New Zealand dollars. No currency hassle on your end.
- Zero chargebacks – WeChat Pay and Alipay transactions are final. Say goodbye to disputed charges.
- Instant credibility – Displaying WeChat Pay & Alipay logos signals to Chinese shoppers that you welcome them.
- Authorised acquirer – PayPlus is the official WeChat Pay & Alipay acquirer in New Zealand since 2016.
Who Should Be Doing This Right Now
If Chinese visitors or residents are among your customers — or could be — integrated EFTPOS payments via PaySuite is an easy win. Industries seeing the most impact include:
- Retail stores
- Tourism & attractions
- Beauty & health clinics
- Restaurants & cafés
Simple, Transparent Pricing
PayPlus keeps it straightforward — a flat 2% merchant fee, with two flexible ways to handle it.
- Full settlemen: PayPlus settles the full transaction amount to you, then invoices the merchant fee the following month. Clean cash flow, simple reconciliation.
- Surcharging: Pass the 2% fee to the customer at checkout. Zero cost to your business — the customer pays for the convenience.
The Bottom Line
Accepting WeChat Pay and Alipay is no longer a “nice to have” for businesses serving Chinese customers — it’s an expectation. With PayPlus and your PaySuite terminal, getting set up is frictionless: no new hardware, no retraining, and a straightforward 2% fee that you can even pass on to customers.
The question isn’t whether you can afford to add Chinese payment methods. It’s whether you can afford not to.
