AliPay is one the most well known e-wallets in Asia, especially in China. It is a third party mobile and online payment platform established in 2004. There are millions of online and in-store transactions that stem from AliPay on a daily basis. AliPay works much like other e-wallets; you are required to attach your debit/credit card to the app and then use it to make fast and convenient purchases.

How does AliPay work? 

Once customers have attached their debit/credit card details to an AliPay account, they can opt to make payments through a QR code using the app or by filling in their AliPay account details. If the transaction is successful on the app, the transaction status will alert users that it is complete and MultiSafepay, a payment process solution for recurring, multicurrency or split payments, will add the funds to the balance of one’s MultiSafepay control.
