Integration preparation
This page describes how you can complete registration and setup as a merchant. The following graphic illustrates the steps to achieve complete merchant system development.
Figure 1. Merchant system development process
Register an account
Skip this step if you already have an account.
If you do not have an account, contact Alipay technical support to get information about registering an account. Besides, you must sign a contract with Alipay to become an Alipay business partner.
Log in
Log in to Alipay Developer Center with the account you created in previous step. Read and agree to Alipay Developer Terms of Use, and specify your integration mode.
Types of roles:
- Merchant: Choose this if you are a merchant that is making the integration for your company in-house.
- Acquirer: Choose this if you are an acquirer that is making the integration for your company in-house. An acquirer is an institution that processes payments on behalf of Merchants.
- System Integrator/Independent Software Vendor: Choose this if you are a merchant who is outsourcing the integration to a system integrator or if you are an ISV that has signed a contract with Alipay to provide integration services for merchants.
Figure 2. Specify the role
After you select the role, select one of the listed countries/regions to indicate the business registration country/region. Please choose carefully as the business registration country/region determines Alipay integration settings, and this cannot be changed later in the integration process.
Figure 3. Specify the business registration country/region
Once you have completed the above steps and have successfully onboarded as an Alipay developer, read the Quick Start guide to quickly familiarize yourself with the upcoming steps and click Get Started to continue.
