Digital Commerce + AI: Empowering Physical Businesses

At the Summit’s achievement exhibition, Newland highlighted “Digital Commerce + AI” solutions, centered around its smart payment terminal matrix and spanning retail, dining, agriculture markets, tourism, and other livelihood sectors.

“Physical merchants are a vital part of the national economy and a key focus of our innovation services,” said a representative from Newland Guotong Xingyi. Through innovative products such as AI-powered dish recognition POS systems and AI-integrated weighing POS machines, merchants gain access to one-stop digital payment solutions covering QR code payments, card payments, digital RMB, and cross-border payments. Popular products like contactless payment terminals also enhance convenience and user experience for consumers.

Newland continues to integrate AI deeply into the business ecosystem to drive full-chain digital transformation for offline commerce. Demonstrations included VR panoramic navigation, AR digital guides, and AI self-service checkout machines, helping merchants across industries achieve the dual goals of “making payments more valuable and store operations simpler.” By leveraging XingyiPay and Huilaidian as strategic engines, Newland is building a “Payment+” ecosystem that enables merchants to transition from single-point payment to full-chain digital operations.
