Test and go live
You can test your Alipay integration in two ways: with the Adyen Payment Simulator, or directly with Alipay.
Test with Adyen
Use the Adyen Payment Simulator to verify that your Alipay integration works correctly with Adyen. You can test during development, before you go live, and after launch. The simulator does not recreate the shopper's journey through the Alipay app or website.
This testing option is available by default when you add Alipay in your test Customer Area. The payment method type is alipay.
To test a redirect payment:
- Start a payment as usual in your integration. The shopper is redirected to an Adyen-hosted simulator page.
- Select the payment outcome that you want to test.
- Wait for the simulator to return the shopper to your website, then complete the payment as usual. For an Advanced flow, make a
/payments/detailsrequest. - Confirm that your integration handles the outcome that you selected, and that the payment appears in your Customer Area > Payments > Payment list.
Test directly with an Alipay wallet
You can also test directly with an Alipay wallet:
- Get an Alipay wallet app and set it up with a credit or debit card.
- Make a live penny test, which is a payment for a minimal amount.
View the details of your direct Alipay payments in your live Customer Area > Payments > Payment list.
Before you can accept live Alipay payments, you need to submit a request for Alipay in your live Customer Area.
