Any gateway to accept Alipay in UAE?

HannanHannan Member, Host Rep

Hi everyone,

We're looking to add Alipay to our payment gateways, but Stripe in the UAE doesn't offer this feature, and it seems that Alipay isn't directly supported either.
Does anyone have experience with this?

Thanks!

  • Have you looked at Adyen? They might limit your payment methods if your company is registered in UAE, though.

    I went down that rabbit hole, even ali pay suggested some local banks. I did reach out to the banks and they had no clue at all about it.

    Good news though is, we are doing it through Paddle. You have to only accept it for chinese customers and it can be used for single payments not recurring. Reach out to them :)

    Their fees are very high. That's a bit of problem.

    Yes, however unfortunately, that was our only option as we no longer want to work with paypal directly.

    Any reason you discontinued working with PayPal?
    was it because of their fees? or did they do another one of those fund holding

    You can try such solutions, although in the UAE there are at least 2-3 more companies that provide such a service at the moment

  • It could be worth reaching out to Stripe's support for advice or updates on future support for Alipay.

    Unfortunate. They're great if you're a vendor though. DId you try contacting tebex first or did you go straight to chargeaback
