LVMH-owned travel retailer DFS Group\u2019s outpost in San Francisco International Airport is looking to simplify transactions with the addition of Alipay.<\/p>\n

Shoppers will now be able to make purchases using Alibaba\u2019s mobile payment option, a popular form of payment among Chinese consumers. DFS is becoming the first bricks-and-mortar retailer in California to adopt Alipay.<\/p>\n

San Francisco will be DFS\u2019 sixth store that accepts Alipay. This roll out follows DFS\u2019 implementation of the mobile payment solution at its T Galleria stores in Hong Kong and Singapore and its store within Hong Kong International Airport.<\/p>\n

To give customers increased incentive to use the Alipay mobile application when buying, DFS is running a promotion, in which shoppers can get 20 percent off Origins products when they pay with the app. This will be valid through the month of November.<\/p>\n
