A lot of countries in the world already started to work with AliPay. You can go to a supermarket and pay using it. You can use it in taxies, restaurants and many different things in many different places. AliPay is just a wallet. It is not connected to AliExpress in any way.

The only thing which connects between AliExpress and AliPay is that you can go to AliExpress and pay using AliPay. You can use it as you use PayPal on other sites (Banggood, for example), so actually, you use AliPay instead of using your credit card directly.

Because in AliPay, you have many different benefits like 90 days payment protection and 100% reimbursement for unauthorized transactions. So this is it about AliPay now let’s jump to AliPocket.
