Alibaba Group has entered strategic partnership with Chinese footwear maker Zhejiang AoKang Shoes Co., Ltd. (SH:603001). The two parties will cooperate in the fields of mobile payment, membership management, online marketing and data analysis. Under the deal, AliPay Wallet payment will be available at more than 5,000 of AoKang’s franchise stores nationwide from March 20. Wang Lijuan, manager of AliPay O2O Department, thinks mobile payment not only adds a more convenient payment method for retailers, but also improves user experience and supports their online and offline market. Now AliPay Wallet users can make payments for vending machine items in China’s subways, taxi fares, train tickets, goods at Yintai department stores or convenience stores.
