User experience

With the Cashier Payment, the consumer can place an order in the merchant platform and select Alipay+ as the payment method. Then Alipay+ displays the available wallets and the consumer selects one to complete the payment on the wallet platform. After the payment is done, the consumer can return to the merchant platform.

Merchant platform

The merchant platform can be a PC website (referred to as "Web" below) or a mobile app/WAP page (referred to as "Mobile" below). For different platforms, the consumer experience is different.

• If the consumer places the order on a Web page, the consumer is redirected to a page that displays a QR code. Depending on whether the wallet supports code scanning, the payment experience varies:

• If the wallet supports code scanning, the consumer scans the code and completes the payment by using the wallet app.
• If not, the consumer is redirected to a series of WAP pages to go through the payment process, including login and paying with a password.

• If the consumer places the order on a Mobile page, the consumer is redirected to the wallet app or WAP page to continue the payment process.
