Due to many postings about TourPass are rather plain as introduction, Gibson decided to share how TourPass can solve our problem?

You might think TourPass is a platform to top-up Chinese Yuan into your Alipay account, but TourPass is only work as a debit card of Bank of Shanghai, and you can spend the money through Alipay to China merchant.

Due to its debit card status, there will be an expired date, which is 90 days after your first registration. This card meant to provide the cashless service for the tourist in China, and the convenient is also benefit us to pay China merchant in a less hassle way.

Therefore, Gibson does not recommend to use this card to pay for Taobao's shopping, as Alipay already provide the direct payment facility with your own credit card plus good exchange rate. TourPass is an option when you need to pay someone in China outside of Taobao ecosystem such as third party shipping company or individual merchant.

Let's begin with searching "TourPass" in your Alipay App, and click the result to reach the Tour Pass interface.



You can decide how much to top up from RMB100 to RMB2000 per transaction.

Step 2: Fill in your passport details and upload your passport detail photo.
Step 3: Fill in your debit card or credit card detail, then click "You agree to enter into...." and "Next" to proceed.

Upload passport interface, there will be a guide to assist you which page of passport to snap.
