Alipay
Learn more about Alipay and its payment workflow.
Alipay, the payment method from China’s Alibaba, is the most used online payment method in China. When your customer chooses to pay with Alipay, they are redirected to an Alipay payment page where they can sign in to their account or conveniently pay by scanning a unique QR code.
If you serve many Chinese customers, we recommend that you offer Alipay.
As a merchant, you must have your own Alipay account to offer this payment method.
