An increasing number of shop-owners in Europe and the Americas are adopting some of China's e-payment platforms to attract Chinese shoppers. Shops with e-payment services have attracted more Chinese customers by sparing them the trouble of carrying large sums of foreign currency. China's Alipay now provides e-payment services to 200-thousand stores in 30 countries and regions, with its major rival WeChat Pay not far behind. Two out of three mobile devices in China have downloaded e-paying applications, with this trend now expanding globally.
