What is Alipay?
Alipay is Ant Group’s digital payment platform, primarily used in mainland China, with over 1 billion users globally. It is the dominant payment method for Chinese consumers — used for everyday purchases, travel spending, and cross-border transactions. For Malaysian merchants, accepting Alipay means being able to serve Chinese tourists and online shoppers from China without requiring them to pay by card.
Alipay works through a QR code that the customer scans with their Alipay app. The payment is processed in the customer’s currency and settled to the merchant in MYR. No card, no cash, and no separate Alipay merchant account is required when accepting through HitPay.
Why accept Alipay in Malaysia
The inbound tourism case
China consistently ranks among the top source markets for tourist arrivals in Malaysia. Chinese tourists travel with Alipay as their primary payment method and frequently encounter friction at merchants who do not accept it. That friction costs merchants the sale. By accepting Alipay through HitPay, you remove that barrier without installing specialist hardware or signing up for a separate payment service.
High-traffic merchant categories include retail, food and beverage, tourism, duty-free, and hospitality — particularly in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Genting Highlands, and other destinations popular with Chinese visitors.
The cross-border commerce case
Malaysian businesses selling online to customers in China can enable Alipay in their HitPay checkout to remove payment friction for international buyers. Rather than requiring Chinese customers to pay by international card — which adds friction and unfamiliar fees — you offer the payment method they already use daily.
How to accept Alipay with HitPay
