HANGZHOU, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alipay today introduced its full-stack AI payment solution to partners across industries, ranging from AI companies to traditional retailers, and debuted two new services \u2014 the world\u2019s first AI Wallet and Token Pay \u2014 to support the agentic economy\u2019s rapid growth.<\/p><\/a><\/a>

\nThis launch extends Alipay's next-generation AI payment infrastructure, building on its consumer-facing product Alipay AI Pay and its business-facing AI payment processing product.<\/p>

\n\u201cWhile the essence of commerce remains unchanged in the age of AI, the emergence of AI agents is reshaping everything. Drawing on 22 years of technological expertise and commercial know-how, Alipay is building a new generation of AI payment services to accelerate the growth of the agentic commerce ecosystem,\u201d said Cyril Han, CEO of Ant Group.<\/p>

\nAI Wallet: Giving Users Visibility and Control Over Agent-Driven Payments<\/b><\/p>

\nAlipay AI Pay allows consumers to make secure and seamless transactions through AI agents via voice commands, while Alipay\u2019s AI payment processing product enables businesses and developers to monetize their services on a pay-per-use basis through simple integration.<\/p>

\nThe new AI Wallet further extends Alipay\u2019s AI payment system by giving individual users greater visibility and control over payments made through AI agents. Available now by searching \"AI Wallet\" in the Alipay App, the product allows consumers to manage tasks executed by AI agents before and during payment, and review and analyze their spending afterward.<\/p>

\nTo ensure AI agents make trusted transactions on behalf of users, Alipay launched China\u2019s first Agentic Commerce Trust Protocol with partners, creating a \u201ccommon language\u201d for collaboration between AI and service platforms. Alipay also launched an intelligent security system for AI payments to provide foundational safeguards for every AI agent-driven transaction.<\/p>

\nToken Pay: A Full-Suite Payment Solution for AI Model Companies<\/b><\/p>

\nIn addition to AI Wallet, Alipay launched Token Pay, the industry\u2019s first platform to provide AI model companies with a one-stop, full-suite solution for global subscription payments, token top-up in AI agents, and related transaction needs.<\/p>

\nAt the Alipay AI Payment Ecosystem Conference on May 26, AI model companies MiniMax and Stepfun announced new collaborations with Alipay, adopting its full-stack AI payment solution in use cases such as token top-ups, membership subscriptions and marketing campaigns.<\/p>

\n\u201cPayments play a crucial role in enabling tenfold growth in the AI industry,\u201d said Weiqi Hu, VP of MiniMax, \u201cTogether with Alipay, we will strengthen collaboration across multiple areas to accelerate the growth of AI commerce.\u201d<\/p>

\n\u201cAI is redefining every layer of commerce. As AI agents begin helping people search for information, shop, order food, and even make money, payments are no longer just the \u2018final step\u2019 \u2014 they are becoming a capability embedded from the very beginning,\u201d Lin Zhu, general manager of Alipay AI payment business of Ant Group said. \u201cOnly when trusted transactions, seamless payments and secure controls are all in place can agentic commerce truly take off.\u201d<\/p>

\nRecord-High 300 Million Transactions Across Diverse Use Cases, Supporting 95% of OpenClaw-like AI Agent<\/b><\/p>

\nIn February 2026, Alipay AI Pay became the first AI-native payment product globally to exceed 100 million users. With 300 million transactions to date, Alipay AI Pay is the world\u2019s first commercially scaled AI-native payment infrastructure.<\/p>

\nAs agentic commerce accelerates in China, Alipay\u2019s AI payment services have expanded across a range of use cases \u2014 from AI agents embedded in apps and mini programs for traditional retailers such as Luckin Coffee, to AI smart glasses such as Rokid\u2019s, consumer-facing AI applications like Alibaba\u2019s Qwen, OpenClaw-type AI agents, smart cockpits, AI development platforms like Coze and Qoder, and businesses including One Person Companies (OPCs).<\/p>

\nAccelerating the Development of the Agent Ecosystem<\/b><\/p>

\nAs a global leader in payment solutions, Ant Group serves customers across a wide range of industries through Alipay and Ant International.<\/p>

\nAlipay will also leverage its Alipay Tap! smart devices and enable the full integration of online and offline commerce through AI upgrades.<\/p>

\nAdditionally, Alipay introduced a new developer support program for individual AI developers, offering token incentive and zero payment processing fees.<\/p>

\nAbout Alipay<\/b><\/p>
