DUBAI — The economic corridor between the Middle East and China is undergoing a digital transformation. As regional businesses seek to capitalize on China’s manufacturing prowess, a new platform, Shipay, has emerged as the definitive “External Cortex” for navigating the complexities of cross-border trade. By integrating AI-driven sourcing with a robust logistics network, the app is removing the friction points that have traditionally hindered Middle Eastern SMEs.
Bridging the “Three Barriers” of International Trade
The primary challenges for businesses in the Middle East—language, payments, and
trust—are addressed through Shipay’s centralized architecture.
1. The Language Barrier
Communication is the most significant hurdle in Chinese trade. Shipay utilizes realtime translation technology supporting over 50 languages. This allows users to:
• Communicate instantly with 250,000+ professional drivers.
• Negotiate directly with manufacturers who may not speak English or Arabic.
• Navigate 690,000+ verified hotel listings and local services without a translator.
2. The Payment Paradox
Traditional banking and credit card systems often fail Middle Eastern travelers and importers in China. Shipay solves this by offering a diversified payment gateway:
• Traditional & Digital: Supports Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, and PayPal.
• Local Integration: Facilitates payments via Alipay and WeChat Pay without
requiring a Chinese bank account.
• Next-Gen Finance: Includes support for Cryptocurrency to accommodate
tech-savvy traders.
3. Verification and Trust
To mitigate the risk of scams, Shipay’s AI background-checks every supplier. The platform monitors quality and safety standards continuously, ensuring that Middle Eastern buyers receive exactly what they order.
Strategic Impact: From Fashion to Electronics
The platform’s efficacy is evidenced by its real-world application across various
sectors:
• Procurement Efficiency: A fashion entrepreneur in Dubai reported a 40% cost
reduction by sourcing 1,000 units directly through the app in just two weeks.
• Logistics Transparency: E-commerce sellers in Abu Dhabi now manage
inventory with 2-3 week delivery windows, utilizing Shipay’s real-time tracking
from the factory to the doorstep.
• Business Travel: For professionals in Riyadh, Shipay handles the “invisible”
logistics—airport concierge, visa consultations, and hotel pickups—allowing
them to focus exclusively on their meetings.
The Future of Regional Trade
Shipay is more than a tool; it is a strategic extension for any Middle Eastern business professional looking to tap into China’s trillions of dollars in opportunity. By consolidating transportation, sourcing, and payment into a single point of truth, the platform ensures that “Impossible is Nothing” for regional importers.
