Lagardère Travel Retail and Ingenico enable Alipay mobile acceptance at Paris-Charles de Gaulle duty-free shops
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Press Release
Paris,
February 21, 2017
Ingenico Group (Euronext: FR0000125346-ING), the global leader in seamless
payment, and Lagardère Travel Retail today announced the extension of their
partnership and the implementation of Alipay in duty-free outlets operated by
Société de Distribution Aéroportuaire (the joint venture between Lagardère
Travel Retail and Groupe ADP) at Charles de Gaulle airport. This enhances
Chinese travellers' shopping experience and builds on the recent partnership
Ingenico formed with Alipay, China's largest mobile payment and lifestyle
platform operated by Ant Financial Services Group.
Lagardère Travel Retail's objective was to deploy Alipay across 83 of its
outlets operated by Société de Distribution Aéroportuaire, in time for the
Chinese New Year. With the support of its bank, BNP Paribas, and of Ingenico
Group, the duty-free operator is now able to offer Chinese tourists their
preferred payment method. For the retailer, broadening its already large payment
application portfolio was all the more important as Chinese visitors represent a
significant segment of its customer base and as Alipay boasts more than
450 million users worldwide.
Ingenico's Axis centralized in-store payment solution, already in place at
Lagardère Travel Retail's shops, allowed for a swift roll-out of Alipay. The
duty-free operator also renewed the terminals of its affected shops with
Ingenico Lane/5000 devices, the most advanced model of Ingenico's new range
terminals designed-for-retail. Fitted with a large touchscreen and combining
payment acceptance and services, these drive consumer engagement.
'We are really pleased with this achievement for the benefit of our long-
standing client Lagardère Travel Retail.' said Guillaume Pascal, Managing
Director for Ingenico Group in France. 'It illustrates our ability to deliver in
a few weeks a fully integrated deployment of Alipay in a retail checkout
environment.'
