The process to sign up with Alipay is fairly easy and can be divided into the following steps.
1. Download Alipay and sign up with your phone number: You can simply download the latest application on Alipay’s website or through Apple Store or Google Play. You will then receive an application code.
2. Add your bank card: Tap on “Me” at the bottom of the right-hand side and then tap on “Bank Cards” inside the application. You can add a new card if you haven’t done so before.
3. Enter your bank card information into the application: You must now enter your Chinese bank card number. Keep in mind that you cannot use a foreign bank card number. Fill in the remaining information required.
4. Confirm the phone number and other information: Confirm the information shown. This is important to avoid any payment issues later. You’re now ready to go and you can start making payments!
