ShopeePay officially expanded its digital payment service by enabling cross-border QRIS transactions in China, allowing Indonesian users to make instant payments while traveling abroad starting April 30, 2026. (30/04)

The service aims to simplify payment experiences for Indonesian travelers by allowing them to transact directly through a single application during overseas visits.

Simple QR Code Payments for Indonesian Travelers

Users can now complete payments by scanning QR codes through the ShopeePay application without requiring additional payment methods while traveling.

The system supports transactions across retail stores, culinary outlets, and transportation services, making daily spending more practical and efficient for users abroad.

Integration with the Alipay Network Enables Wider Acceptance

The service is available across merchants integrated into the Alipay network, enabling broader acceptance of QR-based payments in China.

This integration allows ShopeePay users to access a wide range of payment points using a unified digital wallet system.

Support for Bank Indonesia Digital Payment Initiative

ShopeePay stated that the expansion supports ongoing efforts by Bank Indonesia to strengthen the implementation of cross-border payment systems.

Previously, similar QRIS cross-border services had already been launched in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, and South Korea.

Security Features and Future Expansion

ShopeePay continues to strengthen its digital wallet functions by offering services such as bank transfers and digital product purchases, including mobile credit and electricity tokens.

The platform also applies biometric verification features such as fingerprint and facial recognition, along with ShopeePay Plus verification for higher transaction limits, while maintaining protection against cyber threats and phishing risks.
