Strategic Payments Platforms and Infrastructure
April 24, 2025
PXP, the omnichannel global payment platform and innovative industry disruptor, has forged a new strategic partnership with PayXpert Ltd. a pioneer in omnichannel payments serving local and international brands both online and in-store. The collaboration will enable UK merchants to accept QR-based payments, including Alipay+ and WeChat Pay, enhancing accessibility for international customers, particularly from China.
Simon Brayshaw, VP solutions ecosystem & innovation of PXP, commented: “This partnership enables UK merchants to instantly tap into the £30 billion Chinese tourist market through familiar payment methods like Alipay+ and WeChat Pay. Merchants can effortlessly accept these alternative payment methods with zero disruption to their operations, while customers enjoy a smooth, tailored checkout experience with a wider range of payment options perfectly suited to their preferences. We’re thrilled to be working alongside a team that shares our vision for the future and will pave the way for a more connected, seamless, and customer-centric payment experience.”
The global shift toward mobile payments continues to accelerate, with countries like China and India leading the way in mobile payment adoption. For UK merchants, this presents a valuable opportunity to enhance the payment experience for international customers by embracing Alternative Payment Methods (APMs) that are already deeply integrated into daily life in these markets.
Through this partnership, merchants can now seamlessly accept QR-based payments like Alipay+ and WeChat Pay, ensuring a smooth and familiar checkout experience for overseas shoppers.
Beyond improving the customer journey, this collaboration fuels significant growth for both companies. PayXpert Ltd. will benefit from access to PXP’s well-established merchant network, spanning retail, hospitality, and travel industries, while PXP will be able to extend its services to include new APMs in key international markets.
David Armstrong, managing director, PayXpert Ltd., added: “We believe this partnership will open borders and secure a seamless payment experience for both merchants and customers alike. PXP’s technical expertise in building robust payment infrastructures and its proven track record in securely handling transactions across multiple industries makes it the ideal partner for this initiative. The ability to process QR-based payments familiar to Asian visitors via PayXpert Ltd. removed significant barriers to commerce, while merchants benefit from PXP’s reliable integration capabilities. Together, we’re creating a payment ecosystem that truly reflects how people prefer to pay in today’s interconnected world.”
The announcement marks a significant milestone in global payment integration, empowering UK merchants to stay ahead of evolving consumer demands and connect with international customers. With this enhanced payment flexibility, businesses can offer a more inclusive and frictionless payment experience, driving growth and fostering customer loyalty in a competitive digital marketplace.

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.
For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.
The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.
Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.
Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.
