US department store chain Macy's has teamed up with China's leading online payment solution provider Alipay to help Chinese online shoppers buy across borders.

The move came in time for Black Friday, the annual US cut-price shopping bonanza.

Macy's, along with several other retailers in the US, including Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus, allows Chinese shoppers to buy goods in yuan through Alipay's ePass payment option.
