Alipay User Experience

The Alipay User Experience (UX) is different when customers are using a mobile or a desktop device. Here are the steps for each checkout flow.

No matter what checkout flow you have set up, customers are redirected to the Alipay website or mobile APP to complete payment, depending on if they are using a desktop or mobile device.

Alipay User Experience on Desktop

After clicking submit payment on your website, customers are redirected to the Alipay website.

They are given the option to scan a QR code with their mobile device (most common), or login using their Alipay account details (less common).
