Alipay today announced to launch a new feature for iPhone customers with the latest version of Alipay app to quickly add Alipay to their Apple ID and complete payment authorization one-stop within the app. Alipay app is the world’s first third-party payment app to launch this new feature to greatly optimize iPhone customers’ shopping experience.
Updating to iOS 16.4 and later, iPhone customers can search for “Apple” in the Alipay app to enter the “Apple Zone”, add Alipay to their Apple ID and complete the payment authorization. This feature is available for users who have yet linked Alipay as the Apple ID payment method and only takes 3 steps for users to get ready to pay for apps, games or in-app purchases, or subscribe to iCloud+ and Apple Music.
Users can manage their accounts from the “Apple Zone”, including setting monthly payment limits and checking up details of each purchase etc. In fact, the “Apple Zone” has become a go-to place for Apple customers to check out discounts every Friday, including red packets for shopping in the App Store and privileges offered by developers. This fast-binding process has further improved the shopping experience for Apple fans.
This new feature will also soon be available in the AlipayHK app for Hong Kong customers to enjoy the upgraded experience.
