Gilt adds Alipay as part of China effort

New York –- Online retailer Gilt has added the Alipay EPass payment option to its checkout, making it easier for consumers in China to shop using its e-commerce platform. The partnership provides a more seamless experience for Chinese Gilt members, allowing them to pay through their existing Alipay accounts directly on the Gilt website.



The adoption of Alipay EPass's payment and marketing option is just one of the ways that Gilt is deepening its commitment to China. Gilt will also translate portions of its site into Chinese, provide Chinese-speaking customer service representatives, and offer a flat shipping rate of $9.95 on orders greater than $100.
