Alternative Payment
Alipay is more than just paying
Your stores in the Alipay app
Alipay is a Chinese online payment system of the Alibaba Group and is one of the largest lifestyle platforms in the world with more than 1 billion active users.
In addition, Alipay is also used for payment via smartphone at the POS or in e-commerce. Payment is made at the POS via cash register integration or terminal via the Alipay app. Alipay records more than 100 million transactions per day.
