Quick checklist

  • Add at least one card (consider adding a debit card as backup).
  • Complete identity verification (passport) if prompted.
  • Confirm your card is allowed for international/overseas transactions by your bank.
  • Run a real Alipay test payment by scanning a QR code and attempting a small payment.

How to confirm your setup (the part people skip)

Adding a card isn’t the same as being able to pay. The most reliable way to know is to attempt a small QR payment and look for a success result inside the app.

If your Alipay test payment fails

  • Try another funding source (add a debit card as backup).
  • Finish passport verification in the app (if available).
  • Call your bank: confirm overseas transactions are enabled and not blocked by risk controls.
  • Keep a backup: set up WeChat Pay too.
