Fascinating Stats From Alipay

Xu Ji, the product engineer director at Alipay, claims that compared to the pc, the checkout process is 60 seconds faster with their mobile payment system. He says, the good thing about mobile applications is, that because of the limitation of the screen, only the most relevant information can be shown. Furthermore, he explained that while the male to female ratio was 56 to 44 last year, this has now reversed to 46 to 54. What's particularly interesting, is that Alipay data shows a common pattern, that mothers buy baby-related articles around 3am in the night. According to Xu Ji, this is because the mothers have to look after the children in the night and then they can use the time to do some shopping.
