# Alipay

## General

Originally designed as a payment platform for the Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba, Alipay is now one of the most popular online payment systems in China.

Customers can use Alipay to make payments both online and at the point of sale, as well as pay bills and transfer money.

In China and several other Asian countries, Alipay is one of the most widely used payment solutions. Additionally, international merchants offer Alipay to allow tourists from Asia to pay using their preferred payment method.
