Sweet success: from surviving to thriving with Alipay+
Numwan's story is a good example how local merchant can truly tap into new opportunities as part of our efforts to promote local businesses through tourism
As a Thai dessert vendor in Bangkok's Pranakorn District Market, Numwan faced barriers to growth due to cash-only transactions, high costs of payment terminals and an inability to serve international tourists. By adopting Alipay+, she eliminated cash-handling friction and gained access to cross-border digital payments. This enabled her to serve both local and international travellers, reduce operational costs and increase sales. Supported by Alipay+'s affordable infrastructure, Numwan expanded her customer base, upgraded her tuktuk through a partnership initiative and secured sustainable income to support her son's education and her family's personal needs.
