Alipay+ merchants either have their own QR code or scan the QR code from your smartphone. Both methods are common practice and are supported by Bluecode.

Scan by yourself

Do you see a QR code at the retailer? Simply scan the QR code with your app. And you're done paying!

In which countries can I pay with Bluecode?

You can pay with Bluecode in many countries worldwide. In Asia, there are a particularly large number of acceptance points thanks to the partnership with Alipay+. For example in Hong Kong, Japan, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, the Philippines, South Korea and Sri Lanka.

How does Bluecode work with Alipay+?

Bluecode is building a global payment network to enable worldwide payments with European rules. To achieve this, Bluecode combines international payment networks such as Alipay+, Discover® Global Network and EMPSA.

This allows Bluecode users to pay at the acceptance points of the participating networks (e.g. at all Asian merchants that accept Alipay+).
