Alipay via Stripe

Accept Alipay payments with Stripe as the payment service provider (PSP). The customer selects Alipay, confirms the payment in Alipay, and returns to your site. Stripe uses the alipay payment method code.

Before you begin

Complete these steps before you send your first Alipay payment through Stripe:

Set up a Stripe integration in your workspace. Follow the Stripe integration setup guide if you don’t have one yet.
Turn on Alipay in your Stripe Dashboard payment method settings.
In the Payrails Portal, go to Settings → Integrations, open your Stripe integration, select Alipay under Payment methods, and save.
Add Alipay as a payment option in your workflow.

Request fields for Stripe

Send these fields in the authorize request, in addition to the standard authorize fields. Required fields must be present for the payment to succeed. Payrails sends Optional fields to the PSP when you include them.

Field	Status	Description
`amount`	Required	Must be greater than zero. Stripe accepts AUD, CAD, CNY, EUR, GBP, HKD, JPY, MYR, NZD, SGD, and USD for Alipay.
`returnInfo`	Required	The URLs the customer returns to after the Alipay redirect.
`meta.order.billingAddress.name`, `meta.order.billingAddress.lastName`	Optional	Sent to Stripe as the billing name.
`meta.order.billingAddress.email`	Optional	Sent to Stripe as the billing email.
`meta.order.billingAddress.country.code`	Optional	Sent to Stripe as the billing country.
`meta.order.description`	Optional	Sent to Stripe as the payment description.
`meta.order.softDescriptor`	Optional	Shown on the customer’s statement.

Authorize an Alipay payment

Call authorize a payment with alipay as the paymentMethodCode. The response includes the redirect to Alipay.

Authorize request

{
  "amount": {
    "value": "25.00",
    "currency": "EUR"
  },
  "paymentComposition": [
    {
      "integrationType": "api",
      "paymentMethodCode": "alipay",
      "amount": {
        "value": "25.00",
        "currency": "EUR"
      }
    }
  ],
  "meta": {
    "order": {
      "description": "Order 1234",
      "billingAddress": {
        "name": "Wei",
        "lastName": "Li",
        "email": "li.wei@example.com"
      }
    }
  },
  "returnInfo": {
    "success": "https://example.com/success",
    "error": "https://example.com/error"
  }
}

After the customer confirms the payment, Alipay returns them to your success or error URL. Confirm the result through webhook notifications or the execution status before you fulfill the order.

How Stripe handles Alipay

Payrails rejects zero-amount Alipay requests, so a zero-value authorization doesn’t work for Alipay.
Payrails doesn’t store a Stripe token for Alipay, so each payment needs the customer to confirm it in Alipay.
