Expand your online sales to China by accepting UnionPay cards on your website. China Payment Services offers an online payment gateway to accept all China-issued UnionPay cards.
2. About China Payment Services (CPS)
China Payment Services (CPS) offers ecommerce payment solutions to allow
domestic and International businesses to accept payments from all Chinese credit and
debit cards (China UnionPay cards) on their website.
There are reportedly now over 530 million Internet users in China, and approximately
500 million UnionPay cards on issue. CPS can help businesses to target Chinese
Internet users by providing a supportive and targeted payment facility to start
accepting UnionPay cards with complete ease.
China UnionPay is the central (and only) domestic bank card association in China; all
cards issued in China bear the UnionPay logo.
We are in partnership with a leading online payment subsidiary of China UnionPay
(ChinaPay), as well as numerous banks within China. This allows CPS to offer
merchants the ability to accept payments from China, whilst settling into their choice of
major currency, into their domestic bank account.
Fact: There are more UnionPay cards on issue worldwide then there are Visa or
MasterCard.
3. Ecommerce in China
The enormous scale and potential of ecommerce in China:
• China is already the 2nd biggest consumer of luxury goods in the world
• China has over 513 million Internet users (more internet users than the USA and Europe combined)
• China has 193 million online shoppers (more than the USA)
• China‟s eCommerce volume in 2010 was 703 billion USD, by 2015 it is expected to reach 2.8 trillion
USD
• The Chinese government is actively working to promote ecommerce growth and development
4. CPS Partnered With ChinaPay
The previous challenge faced by international businesses selling to Chinese
customers was the inability to accept payments in Renminbi unless they had a
Chinese bank account.
CPS has established a partnership with ChinaPay that closes this gap by offering a
cross-border online payment facility that allows merchants to accept payments from
Chinese customers in Renminbi whilst settling in their choice of major currency into
their local bank account.
Benefits of CPS’s partnership with ChinaPay:
• UnionPay Trust – Especially within the luxury brands market, shoppers
prefer to purchase with a trusted brand. Being government owned and on all
Chinese cards helps build consumer trust.
• Global Experience – UnionPay has a rapidly spreading global presence and
systems development, which places ChinaPay in a leading position to
support global companies. CPS is helping to fill the gaps and provide a true
global support system.
• B2C Market Share - In terms of market share in the B2C market, ChinaPay
is on an equal footing with AliPay, the largest direct competitor in the market.
• Superior Support – Our experience shows that companies making a healthy
profit in China provide better support. ChinaPay has made healthy profits for
the last three years.
• Foreign Currency Settlement – Due to the unique ownership structure of
ChinaPay and the relationship with The People‟s Bank of China, it is easier to
facilitate cross border settlement.

8. CPS Online Payment Process
The “Push Payment” Principle:
Payments made via a UnionPay card are much different from Visa / MasterCard etc. in
that they work on a "push payment" principle. What this means is that when
customers elect to pay via UnionPay, they authorize the payment from their end.
I.e. when directed though the external CPS payment gateway, customers are sent to
their personal bank account where they confirm and transfer funds out of their bank
account and back through the secure payment gateway.
This works much like a wire transfer, however is much less complicated, and is the
standard payment process in China.
Please see the next 4 slides for a step-by-step demonstration of how this process
looks from your customer‟s POV.

At CPS, we approach payment processing and fraud management with a consistent
emphasis on security, across a range of areas. The CPS Gateway has more than
seven separate fraud detection and prevention systems that work seamlessly to
identify and block suspicious transactions.
These tools detect, among other things:
• suspicious purchasing patterns,
• velocity levels and,
• failed identification checks which raise alerts and or block a payment
altogether.
