During UAT, run and pass the following test cases:
- Required Accept a payment: To integrate different payment products, different test cases need to be tested:
- Cashier Payment: The merchant initiates a transaction and the ACQP accepts the payment by using the pay API. Note that if the merchant owns multiple terminals, including Web, WAP, and app, the test case needs to be passed at all terminals.
- Auto Debit: The merchant initiates a transaction and the ACQP accepts the payment with the access token by using the pay API.
- Merchant-presented Mode Payment: The consumer scans the QR code that is presented by the merchant with an MPP app and the ACQP accepts the payment by using the pay or userInitiatedPay API. Note that in this scenario, the merchant needs to print a receipt after the payment is completed.
- User-presented Mode Payment: The merchant scans an Alipay+ payment code that is presented by the consumer on an MPP app and the ACQP accepts the payment by using the pay API. Note that in this scenario, the merchant needs to print a receipt after the payment is completed.
Moreover, in all test cases above, the payment result needs to be obtained via the notifyPayment or inquiryPayment API, and successfully displayed to the consumer.
- Required Refund a payment: The ACQP refunds a payment by using the refund API.
- Optional Cancel a payment: The ACQP cancels a payment by using the cancel API.

- Conditional Obtain the user authorization: The ACQP obtains the user authorization for deducting funds from their wallet account by using the prepare and applyToken APIs. Note that if the merchant owns multiple terminals, including Web, WAP, and app, the test case needs to be passed at all terminals.
This test case is required only if the ACQP integrates the Auto Debit product.
- Conditional Register a merchant: The ACQP registers a merchant with MPPs by using the registration API.
This test case is required only in either of the following situations:
- The merchant supports Cashier Payment, Auto Debit, or both.
- The merchant supports only in-store payments but wants its consumers to pay with the AlipayCN wallet.
- Conditional Declare a payment: The ACQP declares a payment at customs by using the declare API.
This test case is required only if the payment is processed with the AlipayCN wallet and involves cross-border shipping.
