The Alipay Cross-Border Payment Gateway for WooCommerce allows WooCommerce websites OUTSIDE of Mainland China to accept payment from residents and businesses inside Mainland China. In other words, it allows websites outside Mainland China to sell into the large (1.3 billion people) and growing Chinese market.

Alipay is China’s largest payment gateway.  With over 700 million users, it’s larger than PayPal.  And accounts for roughly half of all online payment transactions within China.  Obviously then, if you want to sell into the Chinese market, Alipay is the gateway to have.

The rest of this document gives full details of how to install and setup this plugin (and of course, how best to use it to maximise your sales to the Chinese market).
