Alipay is one of the most popular payment platforms in China – where it has over 660 million monthly active users – and it’s increasingly used internationally. The mobile payment app is owned by Ant Group (an affiliate company of the Alibaba Group, which owns Aliexpress). Merchants can access cross-border payments through its related product Alipay+.
Alipay allows users to pay for online and offline purchases, make account-to-account transfers, hold a balance on the app itself, and pay bills. It supports multiple payment methods such as credit cards, debit cards, and bank transfers via its digital wallet.
In addition to its payment services, Alipay also offers other financial services, such as wealth management, insurance, investments, and the ability to earn interest on your Alipay funds. It does so many things it’s considered a “superapp”.
Alipay is a standalone payment method and digital wallet. So users can link bank accounts, credit cards, and other payment methods to their Alipay account.
Alipay users can choose to make payments using a QR code, either instore or online using the mobile app. At a physical location, either the merchant scans the user’s QR code, or the user scans the merchant’s QR code to make a payment. Online, the user can pay on a website or app via redirect to the Alipay app, or by scanning a QR code on a computer screen using their phone.
The payment process is fast, secure, and convenient. Alipay is available in multiple languages and currencies, expanding the user base beyond its birthplace, China.

If conditions permit, I like to use Apple Pay. In theory, NFC is the most secure. And you only need to press twice and touch Face ID. It is also very convenient online. Meituan, Didi and Duoduo all use this.
I've been very happy with ClickDealer. They’ve been around for a while, and have some great offers that you usually can't find anywhere else. I would definitely recommend them to anyone!
