Activate card token

Users must activate the tokenization process to use the Alipay+ NFC payment service. You can implement two methods for token activation:

Manual activation (mandatory)

Manual activation is a user-initiated process that starts after the user applies for the Alipay+ NFC service. You must implement manual activation as a fallback in case silent activation fails. For more details, see Manual activation.

Note: The tokenization process takes 20-30 seconds. It’s recommended to display a progress bar to keep the user informed.

Silent activation (recommended)

To improve the user experience, it is highly recommended to integrate silent activation. This method streamlines the 20-30 second tokenization process. You can initiate silent activation when the user logs into your app or opens the Alipay+ NFC page. For more details, see Silent activation.
