To meet the needs of Springer Nature authors paying their open access APCs (Article Processing Charges) in Chinese Yuan (CNY), Springer Nature has launched an online CNY payment method. This allows Chinese authors to pay their APCs in CNY via Alipay, WeChat, or China UnionPay after their papers are officially accepted, and receive a Fapiao (CNY VAT invoice). This payment method is now available.
