A New Era For Chinese Tourists In Singapore: Cheers Mini App By FairPrice Group And Ant International

FairPrice Group has collaborated with Ant International to debut the Cheers Mini-App on Alipay+. The new digital interface delivers a more seamless shopping and payment process for customers visiting local stores, rewarding app users with location-specific perks and exclusive offers. This app enhances the ease with which cross-border payments are made and allows tourists in Singapore, especially those coming from China, to digitally engage with businesses.

This collaboration represents the FairPrice Group’s globally integrated approach to service optimization for mobile travelers and the fast-growing tourism clientele. The app will provide inbound Chinese tourists, tourists who visit Singapore predominantly, with integrated shopping, payment, and rewards systems, as Singapore expects over three million Chinese visitors in 2024.

Redefining Payments and Retail with the Cheers Mini-App

The Cheers Mini-App on Alipay+ promises Chinese customers an end-to-end experience throughout their visit to Singapore. The app and payment integration with Cheers offers enhanced travel convenience. The app’s shopping planning options and tailored recommendations enhance the travel experience and reward redemption at over 180 Cheers outlets. Major tourist attractions and transit points like Changi Airport are home to the Cheers outlets.

The app features tourist support from the moment they arrive. Travelers can access recommendations, shop, and unlock discounts before they arrive in Singapore. Upon arrival, visitors can earn rewards based on their location, complete in-app challenges, and score discounts and premium items. The app encompasses more than basic shopping by providing a complete guide so visitors can maximize their time in Singapore.

The Strategic Partnership between FairPrice Group and Alipay+

The FairPrice Group, which encompasses supermarkets, convenience stores, pharmacies, and food courts, will accept cross-border mobile payments from Alipay+ international partners. This development will impact over 500 FairPrice Group outlets. Chinese tourists will be able to pay and enjoy food at Cheers stores, which will accept payments through Alipay, allowing them to pay with their e-wallet and bank apps.

Alipay+ acts as a global wallet corridor by linking Chinese customers with businesses in Singapore through a single mobile payment system. Because Alipay is familiar and easy to use, travelers can shop without the friction of cross-border payments. Alipay+ is a step in the right direction in traveler experience technology, especially for customers who use mobile payments.

Cheers Mini-App offers tourists payment simplification but focuses on enhancing the shopping experience through personalized location-based suggestions. Through the app, tourists can access tailored offers, discover products in Cheers outlets close by, and unlock exclusive discounts or prizes through special challenges.

More than 500 Singaporean products, including snacks and souvenirs, are available to shop through the app, which can later be saved to a wishlist. The goal is to provide a meaningful shopping experience that meets tourists’ personalized service expectations and allows them to take a piece of Singapore with them.

Creating a Welcoming Environment for Chinese Tourists

In response to the needs of Chinese guests, FairPrice Group trained staff at 30 Cheers outlets to have conversations in simple Mandarin. FairPrice Group’s efforts showcase a commitment to providing a culturally familiar environment to tourists so that they feel at ease when navigating local stores and communicating with employees.

Cheers also provides Mandarin-speaking staff traveling to Singapore with more than just a friendly word. All Cheers stores have travel necessities and local exclusive souvenirs, which include chilli crab paste, salted egg fish skin, durian candy, bak kwa, and other local delights to help tourists remember Singapore.

A Bright Future for Digital Retail in Singapore

With the partnership between FairPrice Group and Ant International, Singapore strives for more digital innovation in its tourism sector. Wireless payment systems and other digital mechanisms enhance the targeting of overseas customers, especially those traveling from China. The Cheers Mini-App is the first of many other innovations aimed at connecting travel and retail to Singapore’s digital tourism.

FairPrice Group’s innovative strategies not only improves how tourists interact with retail but also assists the growth of the retail sector by facilitating tourists’ transactions with local businesses. The introduction of features like mobile payment acceptance and personalized shopping demonstrates Singapore’s commitment to the advancements of digital retail.

The ability to provide contactless mobile payments, location-specific rewards, and shopping convenience positions FairPrice and Ant International in the forefront of using innovative technology to enrich travel for Chinese tourists.
