Revenue model

1. Transaction/Payment Processing Fees: HiKe earns a take rate (0.1%-0.4% per transaction) on WeChat Pay and Alipay transactions processed through its platform. The company explicitly states it does not handle the capital flow — it only processes transactions and does not participate in fund settlement, acting purely as a payment channel facilitator.
2. Hardware Sales: Sale of proprietary and third-party POS terminals, QR code scanners, cloud printers, cloud speakers, and other payment hardware. Hardware products include HK-BOX Smart Cloud POS (custom, Newland, and SUNMI versions), SUNMI D2/S2/T2 cash registers, barcode scanners, and receipt printers.
3. SaaS Software Subscriptions: Software services including merchant management systems, agent management systems, smart merchant POS, boss management assistant, smart marketing system, smart food & beverage system, and OEM white-label platform. Revenue model includes subscription fees for platform access and professional services for customization.
4. Agent Revenue Sharing: Agents earn commission (0.1%-0.4% per transaction) and can build their own brands using HiKe's platform. HiKe provides hardware at cost to agents, who retain the margin on sales and transaction fees. Advertising revenue sharing with agents based on merchant count.

Product overview

HiKe Network Technology (嗨客多) operates a unified payment and merchant services platform organized into software and hardware product lines. The software layer comprises the Merchant Management System (商户管理系统) and Agent Management System (代理商管理系统) as the two core platforms, supplemented by four mobile apps (嗨客小掌柜APP, 嗨客多APP, 老板经营助手, 智慧商家收银 for Windows), and three specialized systems for marketing (智慧营销系统), food & beverage (智慧餐饮系统), and OEM branding (OEM贴牌系统). The hardware layer includes three variants of the proprietary HK-BOX智慧云POS (custom, Newland, and SUNMI editions), plus a range of peripheral devices (SUNMI cash registers, cloud speaker, cloud printer, scan box, scan gun, and receipt printer). The Smart Commercial Complex (智能商业综合体) and Face Payment (刷脸支付) solutions cut across both layers. The company serves 458,048 merchants through 868 agents across 102 cities, processing over 105 million yuan in daily transactions.

Direct peers

• Lakala Payment: One of China's largest third-party payment service companies, providing aggregated POS, QR, and card acceptance to merchants via a multi-tier agent/reseller network — structurally identical to HiKe's payment-ISV + agent distribution model.
• Heepay (Huifu Tianxia): China-focused payment service provider offering online and offline aggregated acceptance plus merchant SaaS tooling — a direct functional peer to HiKe's all-in-one merchant and agent management platform.
• Allinpay: Established Chinese payment service provider covering POS, prepaid, and merchant acquiring across B2B and B2C — directly comparable in delivering aggregated acceptance and merchant services through a multi-channel GTM.
• YeePay (Yibao): Independent Chinese online and offline payment service provider serving enterprise and SMB merchants — comparable to HiKe on multi-rail aggregation, merchant tooling, and ISV distribution.
• UMPay (Liandongyoushi): Chinese payment and fintech services platform offering mobile payment, merchant acquiring, and value-added services — directly comparable business model and merchant target segment as HiKe.
• China UnionPay Commerce (UMS): UnionPay-affiliated merchant acquiring and POS services operator with nationwide agent distribution and SMB merchant coverage — closest direct competitor given its physical POS and aggregated QR/Face Pay acceptance footprint.

Broad incumbents

• Ant Group / Alipay: Dominant Chinese mobile payment platform and broader fintech ecosystem — competes broadly with HiKe as both the underlying rail HiKe aggregates and as a direct merchant-acquisition channel for SMBs.
• WeChat Pay (Tencent): Tencent's mobile payment and merchant services platform — operates both as a critical rail HiKe aggregates (face payment and mini-program) and as a direct SMB onboarding competitor.

Others

• SUNMI: Leading Android-based smart POS hardware vendor in China, supplying terminals that HiKe integrates (D2/T2/S2/Buling). Comparable as the underlying hardware layer for HiKe's smart retail stack and competing adjacent in merchant-facing OS/tooling.
