Widely used digital wallet for Chinese consumers and tourists.
Merchants using Airwallex Payments evaluate Alipay based on where their customers are, what devices they use, and how much trust a familiar method adds to checkout.
Strongly relevant for China-linked ecommerce and travel or hospitality use cases.
Offering Alipay alongside cards and other local methods can change conversion materially, especially when a merchant is entering a market where domestic payment habits are stronger than card habits.
Payment method availability still varies by country, currency, industry, and account setup, so the right mix is always market-specific.
