Notify users of Alipay+ availability

When a user travels abroad, the Mobile Payment Provider (MPP) can proactively notify the user of Alipay+ availability if you (the MPP) detect that the user is abroad and Alipay+ is available in the user's region.

This topic introduces how to check Alipay+ availability and send notifications when Alipay+ is available.

Workflow

The following figure illustrates the workflow of the periodic task which is to check whether the user is abroad in a location where Alipay+ is available and send notifications to users of Alipay+ availability.

Figure 1: Notify users of Alipay+ availability

  1. The MPP app starts the periodic task by calling the startMonitor API. See Sample code for more information. (Step 1)
  2. The MPP app checks whether the number of attempts to check Alipay+ availability exceeds the daily limit. The MPP can set the maximum limit for a natural day. (Step 2)
  3. (Optional) If the attempt is within the maximum number of attempts, the MPP app can obtain the user's location based on its own processing logic or calls the getCurrentRegion API from Alipay+ Client SDK to obtain the user's location. (Steps 3-5)
  4. If the attempt is within the maximum number of attempts, the MPP app calls the isAlipayplusSupportedRegion API to check whether Alipay+ is available in the user's current location. (Steps 6-7)
  5. The registered listener in the startMonitor API notifies the MPP app when the user is abroad and in a region where the Alipay+ is available. Then, the MPP app decides the notification method, such as in-app notification or SMS message, and the frequency for notifying the user of Alipay+ availability. (Steps 8-9)
