AlipayHK
Beta

Last updated: September 14, 2022

Start accepting payments using one of the top e-wallets in Hong Kong. Alipay Hong Kong (HK) provides a mobile payment service that allows its customers to make one-time purchases or sign up for a recurring payment.

AlipayHK is a part of Ant Financial’s e-wallet network, which enables it to be used in countries outside of the local market, as long as the regions are covered by Ant’s partners.

When accepting payments with AlipayHK, you need to display the Alipay+ and AlipayHK logos on your payment interface. To ensure that the logos match Alipay's requirements, refer to their Brand display guidelines for online payments and Brand display guidelines for cashier payments.

Redirect your customer to the redirect link’s href in the response. This will allow the customer to authorize the payment, before they are transferred to your predefined success or failure URL.

You can set up recurring payments for a subscription-based service. This allows you to make pre-authorized fund deductions from a customer’s account.

To request a recurring payment, your payment request should have payment_type set to recurring.
