How does Alipay work?

Alipay and mobile payment in general have been part of everyday life in the Middle Kingdom for years, which is due in particular to the high level of convenience offered by the mobile payment method. All that is needed for payment is a smartphone and the Alipay app, which can be downloaded from the Apple Store or Google Play Store. The user then enters a Chinese bank account in the app, which successfully sets up the device for payment processing via Alipay. The merchant, in turn, needs a reader that supports Alipay as a payment method.

With the Nexi Base Next and the Nexi Mobile Premium, we offer both a stationary and a mobile terminal that meet this requirement: Thanks to certified Alipay software, you can add the additional payment option to both solutions overnight at any time. No additional hardware or infrastructure is required. As soon as the software is unlocked for your device, you can process the desired transactions via the Chinese online payment service by confirming them by pressing the Alipay button. The POS terminal automatically generates a QR code, which you now only need to scan with the Alipay app open on your smartphone to complete the payment.
