The company positions the integration as a way for local businesses, including MSMEs, to accept payments from international travelers and digital-wallet users without adding a separate QR code. ## Why it matters Using the national QR acceptance layer can broaden cross-border wallet acceptance with less merchant-side change. The announcement does not identify every supported wallet or corridor and gives no Alipay+-specific transaction volume, merchant count, fee, FX rate or settlement-time result. ## Key numbers - **Digital-payment share of Philippine retail transactions in 2025:** 64.69% (company-cited market figure) - **QR Ph transaction growth in 2025:** More than 13x (company-cited market figure) ## Topics and entities - Industry lane: Cross-border market - Entities: Alipay+ / QR Ph - Cross-border payments - Payment infrastructure ## Evidence and credibility note Republished company announcement. Live acceptance is stated by Alipay+, while scale and market metrics are company-attributed and no independent operating result is supplied.
