  1. Specify in your /paymentMethods request:

The response contains paymentMethod.type: alipay_wap.

We provide logos for Alipay which you can use on your payment form. For more information, refer to Downloading logos.

Make a payment

When the shopper proceeds to pay, you need to:

  1. From your server, make a /payments request, specifying:

    • paymentMethod.type: Set this to alipay_wap.
    • returnURL: URL to where the shopper should be redirected back to after they complete the payment. Get this URL from the Component in the RedirectComponent.getReturnUrl(context). This URL can have a maximum of 1024 characters.

    In the /payments response, note the action object. This contains the information needed to redirect the shopper.

  1. Pass the action object to your client app. You need this to initialize the Redirect Component.

Handle the redirect

  1. Use the Redirect Component to redirect the shopper to Alipay.

  2. After the shopper returns to your app, make a POST /payments/details request from your server, providing:

    • details: The actionComponentData.details object from the Redirect Component.

You receive a response containing:

  • resultCode: Use this to present the payment result to your shopper.
  • pspReference: Our unique identifier for the transaction.

Present the payment result

Use the  resultCode that you received in the /payments/details response to present the payment result to your shopper.

The resultCode values you can receive for Alipay are:

resultCode Description Action to take
Authorised The payment was successful. Inform the shopper that the payment has been successful.
You will receive the funds in 3 days.
Cancelled The shopper canceled the payment while on the Alipay website. Ask the shopper whether they want to continue with the order, or ask them to select a different payment method.
Pending or Received The shopper has completed the payment but the final result is not yet known. Inform the shopper that you have received their order, and are waiting for the payment to be completed.
To know the final result of the payment, wait for the AUTHORISATION webhook.
Refused The payment was refused by the shopper's bank. Ask the shopper to try the payment again using a different payment method.

If the shopper failed to return to your website or app, wait for webhooks to know the outcome of the payment:

eventCode success field Description Action to take
AUTHORISATION false The transaction failed. Cancel the order and inform the shopper that the payment failed.
AUTHORISATION true The shopper successfully completed the payment. Inform the shopper that the payment has been successful and proceed with the order.

Test and go live

We recommend doing live penny tests:

  1. Get an Alipay wallet app, set it up with a credit or debit card, and do live penny tests (payments for a minimal amount).
  2. View the details of your Alipay test payments in your live Customer Area > Transactions > Payments.

Before you can accept live Alipay payments, you need to submit a request for Alipay in your live Customer Area.
