The grand opening of the American bulk-seller, Costco, attracted thousands of visitors yesterday, whose cars have filled the parking lot and forced the supermarket to shut the entry to prevent more people from flooding in. Costco has gained online presence by launching the TMall store previously, and the one and only offline store in China has adopted localized cashless payment solutions known as Alipay and WeChat Pay, as well as online promotions via WeChat’s official accounts function.
