Alipay president of Americas Souheil Badran said: “As our first Canadian partner, Motion Pay has helped us to reach critical mass in acceptance points across Canada.
“We look forward to continuing our relationship and enabling even more Canadian brands and retailers to connect with the growing number of Chinese consumers seeking items they can’t find at home, and simplifying payments by offering Alipay’s familiar method.”
