Alipay is a leading open platform for payments and digital services in China.
Users with a Chinese ID and bank account can use Alipay to make payments online and in person at various merchants outside of China as they travel for leisure, business, or study.
Foreign visitors to China can connect their credit card to take advantage of Alipay’s widespread acceptance by tens of millions of merchants across the country. Alipay is not designed or intended for use by foreign users in their home country or anywhere outside of China.
Alipay - Simplify Your Life Positive Reviews
Account didn’t exist anymoreI have been used Alipay account for long time. Today, it suddenly didn’t allow me to log in and said my account didn’t exist. I found that out when I needed to made a transaction. I have to log in on pc and make this transaction with fee. This bug hasn’t been solved at the end of today. It was very disappointed and scared since all the assets that I hold in an Alipay account..东海扬尘飒露紫Version: 10.1.58
Epic convenience and functionalitySuper easy set-up (verification), funding and use-ability. As an American on the Mainland there is nothing I can’t accomplish with relative ease. It wasn’t like this five years ago. I don’t know what people could possibly be complaining about in these reviews. If you can use your mobile device, have a passport, and some money to spend, then you can use this app easy. Five star app for sure, I would use it in America if it were as widely accepted..RobK402Version: 10.6.13
Tourist to ChinaFrom my understanding, there were changes starting in July 2023 which is when I'm writing this to allow foreigners to use AliPay without a Chinese bank account and phone number.
I just downloaded the app, added my credit card, validated ID with passport and all appears to work. Was a bit more automated and easier than WeChat. WeChat seems to have a manual ID review which rejected my initial attempt. I tried again but awaiting approval.
I haven't paid for anything yet as I just set it up but assuming no issues, it was relatively easy. Only adjustment required is that some prompts were still in Chinese even in the international version but can fumble around or ask someone to help translate.
It's a must in this new cashless society which is different than my visit about 7 years ago. Even trying to use international credit card directly often fails..CK Apple ReviewsVersion: 10.3.96
Relatively easy to use. No issue so far.I was able to add my debit card onto the app and pay vendors with no problem. There’s scatter Chinese on the English version app, but it doesn’t bug me since I’ll read both languages. I could see how it can be a problem for some though..NoNickname%Version: 10.5.88

Fantastic applicationThis application is a real life safer when traveling to mainland China, but only reason I didn’t give it. Five stars is that it’s really difficult to fund. If you want to use your phone to catch a subway you need a very fast transaction and a credit card is not fast, but if you funded. A lot faster..Dj1encoreVersion: 10.8.70
Helps paying but that’s allA must have for tourists because it’s the only way you can use cards to pay taxis in China (besides WeChat).
But it’s painful and almost a nightmare because although the front page is English, all of the alerts are in Chinese. So if you don’t read Chinese, you don’t know what’s going on..MarcoscrqVersion: 10.5.0

Problems- Doesn’t instruct the users to go to a foreign App Store to download the version where they don’t need a Chinese citizen card. Hence a lot of the negative reviews here.
- only works with domestic Chinese bank cards. I have those but it is kind of stupid to have an app in the friggin Canadian Apple App Store when none of my Canadian cards work !!!! PayPal is the best solution for now
- Not everything is translated. But it’s ok because the important things are translated.
- in summary , this version of the app is just a workaround for foreigners living in China..ShuaiBrotherVersion: 10.1.8

Alipay - Simplify Your Life Negative Reviews
UnusableI loaded this app as a suggested way to be able to pay in stores and restaurants in China that no longer accept US credit cards. It failed to allow any US cards to be added, saying “network error try again later.”
Many of the selections and menu choices are in Chinese, even when English is selected as the language. Multiple times a White message box would open on the screen with two choices and the message all written in Chinese, forcing you to choose one of the buttons with no way to close the box without making a selection and no idea what you were choosing or potentially agreeing to or giving the app access to.
Don’t install this if you can’t read Chinese. It’s worthless to a US traveler. I guess we’re back to the days of needing paper traveler’s checks in order to be able to get cash in Chinese currency. So ridiculous!.Heathm98Version: 10.3.86
Operating Standards (especially for foreigners) dropping significantlyOperating standards for non-Chinese citizens, has basically made AliPay unusable unless you’re a person living full-time with a Resident Card on the Chinese Mainland, or are a Chinese, HK, or Macau citizen. Taiwan… is even iffy. Weixin Pei is integrated into WeChat, and I see most people using that these days due to coupons and discounts that AliPay just doesn’t have enough of. They need to do some massive changing for tourists coming to China, or expand the network GLOBALLY and handle payment processing… but essentially, if not in China… then you’re gonna have some kind of weird errors, trouble paying, errors with authentication due to the The Great Firewall, and much more. It’s not… as user-friendly in my experience as setting up and using Weixin Pei. AliGroup, you need to get some rest and wake up with some new ideas..JaredHyltonVersion: 10.7.88
Bad Design and Maintenance 烂啊!I downloaded it for my trip back to China. My download experience was already bad, I am not sure if it works. First, it blocked me first second after I entered my phone number saying “too many attempts”. What??? I just downloaded it the very first time! Then I want to key in my email address for notifications, error appeared. I tried later, the email option totally disappeared! I want to ask the same question: WHO THE HECK DESIGNED this crap? Will it really work??? I don’t know. An app related to money, this is absolutely not trustworthy. You better have a plan B if you are heading to China. I don’t have other options as I don’t own a Chinese SIM card which required for other payment methods (stupid! Isn’t it? Seems like China doesn’t need money support from the rest of the world).BB68668Version: 10.5.56
Frozen at 1st useTraveling in China and the App froze my account for payments the first time I tried to use it. The app is very clunky and there are no instructions for use. If you make any kind of mistake trying to learn how to use the app to make a payment, the account gets frozen. To unfreeze you must add several forms of ID - including an account statement for the card on file (who travels with an account statement???) - and wait several hours for the account to unfreeze. The only way for a foreigner to request help through the app is using a chat feature. I never received a response after my account was frozen - verification is still pending several hours later. I recommend WeChat instead. It worked for payments without any trouble..Hip zip5Version: 10.7.7
My feelingLet’s talk of my personal opinions for user of long turn cooperation individual.
I can not critic the influence of this appliance can spread overseas. And recent years Chinese citizens can even use these functions instead of debit cards. Credit of Alipay really worked in some situations, but sometime it a kind of illegal money eaters. Firstly, you feel you want to loan through the strength of their products, the terminal shows how easy you can afford it by next month. Than actually it ask you for your unplanned pocket money. It feels like hypnosis. I feel Alipay just a kidding of credit, do not believe it. These credits actually your next month’s salary. And added more, I means credit just their trumps. They want not only your salary, but also your houses..Who knows i amVersion: 10.1.65
Scammy companyThis whole system/company feels like a SCAM for anyone NOT a citizen or permanent resident of Mainland China. They offer travelers a Travel Pass for people who are visiting China but then after depositing money into Travel Pass they lock your account and claim they need to verify your identity and can only do so with a Mainland China bank card. Well, guess what? You can’t get a Mainland Chinese bank card without being a citizen or permanent resident. So much for Travel Pass working for travelers who aren’t either.
Customer service is an absolute joke. I have tried the US support number (it’s always voicemail, I left several A MONTH ago, not holding my breath on a response), the Chinese support number is “no longer in service”, I have sent several emails and I have even tried Facebook. I have never encountered a company of this supposed size that is so unprofessional bordering on fraudulent.
In fact this whole system appears to be one giant scam because they claim Travel Pass is for foreigners to China but then require citizen status (only after they have taken your money).
Here is what happened to me: They let me register for the app with my US debit card. Everything went through perfectly fine, the app even said I can use my US debit card to verify my identity. I then put 500RMB into my Travel Pass account. Then the next day, when I tried to launch the app, they claimed they needed to reverify my identity. I put in my US debit card again and got the message that they cannot accept that card as verification. So my card was good enough to let me register and then deduct money from, but once they’ve taken the money, my card is no longer good for verification? Sounds like a SCAM to me. Check Facebook, I’m not the only one that fell for this scam, there are a ton of people on there with their money taken and then unable to reverify.
I will be filing a complaint for this company with the Apple app store because they should not be allowed to be on here..TowermagiVersion: 10.2.20
Bad: wish I can give no starI tried to set up an account to use Tour pass. A function that supposedly allows to use foreign credit card to link to alipay. My internet got disconnected half way through the process. Alipay then locked me out and asked to link a bank card in order to lift the restriction. Because I don’t have a local bank card, I called the customer service. It sent me an email asking me to upload my passport photo to verify my identity. But the link would not accept the photo in a format from the iPhone.
I called the customer service back, but it no longer allows me to speak to a live person and loop me through the same voice mail again and again.
Also tried to help to set up Tour pass for my friend. Her first credit card doesn’t work and it does not allow to switch to another credit card to try again.
Before they make this service works better for foreigners, I do not recommend anyone uses it..ClairechenswVersion: 10.1.79
They can freeze your accountI have been using this app for the past 3 years to make payments on Chinese shopping app and had no problem till their recent update, They then froze my account with my money on it asking for passport chip verification and whenever I try doing that after a successful scan it says failed server busy try again later. I also tried opening a new account for my sister but also had the same issue. I won't recommend the app because they can freeze someone's account at any time..Wizzy WinnerVersion: 10.7.88
Doesn’t work for US customersSetting aside the fact that quite a few prompts, and some complete screens, are not localized to English, this app does not appear to take US credit or debit cards. I have no idea why this is in the US App Store, or why Apple approved it. Most of the functionality doesn’t work in the US and the app isn’t smart enough to hide features that don’t work based on location. Also the UI appears to be a challenge to how many functions can be smashed onto the home screen. Before expanding to the US, the company might want to have a US development team rework the app..TodbooklessVersion: 10.1.20
Stopped working want personal infoThis app was easy to set up but didn’t work until a day later with no explanation when it would work or why it wasn’t working. Then it worked for 2 days with multiple scans and payment. However mid payment it just stopped again with an error about credit card verification. There’s no recourse to verify any additional info and when you call them they want photos of bank statement etc etc …just to use a credit card? Terrible app.NateiumVersion: 10.7.50
No support for iPhone 10It has been a week since the release of iPhone 10 and Alipay still does not support face scanning. I have to put in my password every time I want to pay for something. I have started to use Wechat pay, which supported iPhone 10 since the beginning. I never notice how convenient it was to use Wechat pay. I think I will start using Wechat pay from now on. I recommend all iPhone 10 users to use Wechat pay and not wait for Alipay to update. I mean come on! it has been a week almost all other apps have updated to support iPhone 10..XwarderXVersion: 10.1.5
Alipay leaked my cellular number & name to scammersReceived a call from scammers claiming to be from Alipay customer service. They know my name and cellphone number and knew that I have opened a Alipay account. They claimed that I might have accidentally activated the Alipay insurance policy within the app and I could be charged 36 monthly instalments of $500. This is an out right scam but what is more concerning is that the information they have is very obvious coming from what I keyed into the Alipay app. I was appalled and cancelled n closed the account immediately. Don’t download this app. Cannot be trusted..SSansanVersion: 10.7.0
Wildly unreliable translationsIn-app translations are embarrassingly poor quality for 2026, and don’t work reliably, failing entirely and randomly. And that’s not to mention the frustrating limits and account setup problems you run into as a foreigner that are more restrictive than other platforms.

Constantly having these annoying pop up windows either to make you buy their insurance products, bogus gold products, or make you play some stupid games, wasting your time.

No iPhone X supportI used to love how versatile Alipay was. I used it for everything. I loved that it accepted my fingerprint on my iPhone 7. It made everything so convenient. But now I have an iPhone X and Alipay doesn’t use face recognition for payment the way it did with fingerprint. This is frustrating and inconvenient. WeChat used it and makes everything more convenient because of it. I often have to choose whether to use Alipay or WeChat to pay for things. Before it was no contest and I would choose Alipay. But recently I have been using WeChat more because of convenience..Jaws600088Version: 10.1.15
No standardI was planning to visit China and asked my friend to transfer 5,000 RMB to me. However, my account got frozen. When I asked for a reason, they just cited ‘security reasons.’ I’m going back to China for a 2-week trip where my minimum spending will be around $2,000 USD, but because of the ¥5,000 ($700) transfer, my account was frozen. I’m the one who always introduces Alipay to friends traveling to China. Now, I guess I have to say goodbye to Alipay. This app has no standards—they can lock your account whenever they want..Cherieliang8954Version: 10.7.36

Account FrozenAlipay is most cheap service provider yet . I just created my account and then when I submitted my passport scanned photo, they have logged me out automatically 😁 and when I login again I see my account has been suspended permanently.

My Experience Using AlipayI’m a Canadian citizen currently living in China right now. While my WeChat pay works perfectly fine since I have a Chinese card, the same can’t be said about my Alipay account. For my Alipay account, I mainly use it for trade purposes/ large transactions. Often times for large transactions I tend to use my Visa card since I receive US dollars frequently and Visa card works for the most part. However, whenever I bind my Visa card with my Alipay account, I experience frequently issues. One of the biggest issues I experience is triggering the fraud detection system. They keep suspending my transactions, causing me great problems. They also require me to take photos of my passport, International card and selfie every time, which is a major hassle. Luckily their customer service is great, which is what keeps me from deleting my account. That’s about it however as the user experience is subpar at best. I love China and I have no intentions of leaving the country but for a major app like this, I expected better.Kevinmao133Version: 10.8.36
Poor AppTerrible verification process. Cannot extract passport information correctly and keep auto-correct to incorrect name even after you enter the correct one. No proper customer support to help with troubleshoot. Doesn’t give one anyone confidence to use this for financial operations. Very disappointed!.Y2AUVersion: 10.7.70

Bad,really badDon’t use it, it’s really bad to use, not user friendly, freezing your account with no reason. And you have no way to delete your account either. Alipay tried to get your IDENTITY, not secure. Not to touch it..Person13042Version: 10.7.60
App not workingI have been trying for weeks to get into this app, with no luck.DreyahsVersion: 10.7.28
Doesn’t work for touristsApp functions are extremely difficult to attain unless you’re a Chinese citizen. Bank payments denied unless you can provide photos of bank card + passport, bank statements (who carries these when travelling?), receive SMS text confirmations (again - not using my home phone # in china). Poor functionality.Jaylord21Version: 10.7.20

Don’t verify if you’re non ChineseVerification is useless. Alipay makes it seem like it’s necessary to use a foreign card or to recharge balance, but it still won’t let you if you don’t have a Chinese issued card..Whatevenisthis??Version: 10.6.70
Not for foreignersThis app doesn’t allow foreigners to pay, it’s only for Chinese citizens..DaveRiskVersion: 10.5.80
When it works it works, when it doesn’t it is a nightmareIt worked for 2 weeks. And all in a sudden my transaction was prohibited because it detected some “suspicious transactions” and I was required to upload proof to verify a bank card which didn’t even belong to me.
I uploaded the photo of my ID and the bank card bonded in my account, and was rejected. Alipay again asked me to upload proof for that stranger’s card number.
I contacted customer services twice. They helped me to upload again. Alipay again insisted on asking me to upload proof for that stranger’s card number twice.
I’m going to ditch Alipay. But still deeply worried about the security of all my information Alipay has had. It may keep them forever and even sell them to other companies, like Ctrip..Mnbvcxz1029384756Version: 10.5.78

Only works with folks who has Chinese National ID CardThis App should be removed from the global App Store completely if the it requires a photo verification of the Chinese National ID Card to operate. It is sad to see a great application going downhill so rapidly..Qg1212Version: 10.5.66
Not working for the foreignerAs a foreigner, I am so frustrated with Ali pay. I got a local mobile phone number and a Chinese bank account. When I try to bond Ali pay with my Chinese bank account. It asked me my bank for verification. I give all correct information and it failed always. I tried to register my self from Ali pay web site and it refer my back to this app. This is such A STUPID app. It never considered the foreigner users. All the instructions are useless because it lead you nowhere even you follow them step by step. Sad thing is you need Ali pay or WeChat pay almost everywhere..Judy from Canada 1234Version: 10.3.86

Unidimensional worldThis app has the same problem that Taobao has. they don’t know the X axis exist, they only use Y axis for their programs ( and coming from computer engineers, that is very worrying.
