Waffo Partners with Vidu AI to Monetize Global AI Video Content

In the generative AI sector, the frontier has moved from "image generation" to "industrial-scale monetization." As industry leaders pivot toward building durable business models, the focus is now on the financial plumbing required to sustain the creator economy. Vidu AI, the high-fidelity video platform born from the collaboration between Shengshu Technology and Tsinghua University, is moving to anchor this transition. On December 25, Vidu will host a landmark industry forum in Chengdu titled “Building the Future Ecosystem of AI Comics and Animation.” This event marks a critical shift: moving AI from a creative playground to a commercial powerhouse. However, scaling globally presents a "non-technical wall" - the complexity of cross-border payment friction, VAT/GST compliance, and global subscription management. The Chengdu forum will bring together a collective of AI platforms, animators, and digital content creators to dissect the anatomy of modern production. The agenda goes beyond the "how-to" of generation, focusing instead on the industrialization of the workflow and the realization of commercial scale. Waffo, a premier global payments merchant services provider, joins as Vidu AI’s strategic partner to solve these "last-mile" commercial hurdles. For Waffo, the partnership is a strategic commitment to the "last mile" of the AI revolution. While Vidu empowers creators to generate content, Waffo provides the Merchant of Record (MOR) infrastructure that ensures these platforms can capture global value securely and compliantly.
