            Is Alipay relevant for my webshop?
            Adding Alipay as a payment method is of interest when your webshop is focused on the Chinese market or if you want to process payments from Chinese tourists. The payment method is extremely popular in the retail and tourist branch. The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam for example offers its Chinese customers the opportunity to pay with Alipay.
