As inbound tourism and foreign-related consumption continue to heat up, facilitation of payment by foreigners in China has become an important issue in the field of cross-border payments.
Tonglian Pay, which has been deeply involved in the field of financial technology services for a long time, has innovatively launched a mobile phone camera payment service based on the usage habits of overseas users. It uses a lightweight and non-sensitive cross-border payment solution to break through the payment congestion points for inbound consumption and provide global tourists with a smooth experience that is in line with local habits and in line with international standards.

This innovative product focusing on cross-border payment scenarios accurately solves the traditional pain points of foreign tourists’ consumption in China.
In the past, overseas tourists were often hampered by problems such as cash exchange, insufficient foreign card acceptance, and cumbersome application downloads, which greatly reduced their consumption experience.
Tonglian Pay mobile phone camera payment eliminates complicated processes and does not require additional installation of applications, registration of accounts or binding of cards. Overseas tourists can quickly complete the payment by simply scanning the merchant’s exclusive code plate with the native camera of the mobile phone. The entire operation is highly consistent with daily code scanning habits, greatly reducing the threshold for cross-border payment.
In terms of technology and cooperation, this service deeply integrates cross-border payment resources, works closely with international card organizations, fully supports overseas mainstream credit card payments, and achieves efficient compatibility of domestic and overseas payment methods.
Merchants do not need to add new professional terminals. They can accept both domestic and foreign cards through standard code tags. Without increasing operating costs, they can expand cross-border payment acceptance capabilities and effectively improve cashier efficiency and customer coverage.

Relying on the national service network, Tonglian Pay has widely launched mobile phone camera payment in high-frequency scenes such as cultural and tourism business districts where overseas tourists gather, specialty restaurants, cultural and creative retail, transportation, etc., from cultural landmarks in ancient capitals to Jiangxi
The ancient town of Nanshui Township, from a popular tourist city to a characteristic consumer district, continues to build a dense cross-border payment service network, allowing overseas tourists to enjoy stable, convenient and safe payment services while immersing themselves in Chinese customs, truly realizing unhindered consumption and borderless payment.
As an important practice in cross-border payment innovation, mobile camera payment is not only an optimization of payment product forms, but also an in-depth exploration of internationalization and universalization of payment services.
It simplifies the process with technology and meets the needs with scenarios. It not only responds to the industry direction of improving payment convenience for people coming to China, but also provides strong support for merchants to open up the cross-border consumer market and helps improve the quality and expansion of foreign-related consumption.
In the future, Tonglian Payment will continue to focus on the cross-border payment field, and work with industry partners to continue to iterate products and expand scenarios, with payment solutions that are more flexible, safer, and more in line with the habits of international users, and constantly improve the inbound payment service system, so that the convenience of digital payment can benefit more global visitors, use payment innovation to promote two-way openness and business travel interoperability, and continue to inject new vitality into the cross-border consumption ecosystem.
