Mobile Payment App Alipay Is Coming to Walgreens

The service targets Chinese travelers in the U.S.

The 3 million or so travelers from China who visit the U.S. each year will be able to use mobile payment app Alipay at 3,000 Walgreens in cities like New York, San Francisco and Las Vegas—with 4,000 additional U.S. locations expected to be added by April.

Walgreens joins Guess stores and the shops at San Francisco’s Pier 39—such as Bubba Gump Shrimp and Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream—as the U.S. vendors accepting payments via Alipay’s mobile wallet.
