What is the .alipay domain name?

If you are familiar with Alibaba's payment solution Alipay, then you probably have used it before to pay your internet purchases or receive money from friends.

For those who can't recall what Alipay is, it is a third-party online payment provider that serves as the Chinese alternative to PayPal. Generally speaking, .alipay is a domain name that represents the huge market of Alipay users.

.alipay is the newest domain extension from Alibaba. It's perfect for anyone who wants to share their Chinese heritage, or for businesses looking to expand into China.

With .alipay, you can build your brand in China and around the world. You'll be able to create an online identity that reflects your values and culture while also reaching new customers worldwide.


Who can register the .alipay domain name?

Businesses or individuals that have been approved by Alibaba Group to operate Alipay-related businesses are qualified to register this kind of domain name. In addition, there are some requirements on categories and languages for registrants when applying for .alipay domains.


What is the issue with standard character domain names?

According to the news report from The Registry, if you are an Alipay user and about to open a new online shop, then you may consider using your Alipay account (customer) or Alibaba (deals in wholesale businesses) to form your domain name.

However, you may come across some problems because these well-established Chinese brand names can only contain standard characters in the domain name but not the English alphabet characters.

For example, "alibaba" is available in .COM, whereas it is unavailable for registration in most the country codes including .CN, .HK, .MOBI and others.


Why choose Alibaba's .alipay?

As a famous global company boasting a solid customer base, Alibaba is able to launch .alipay before anyone else does so. It is expected that the domain name extension will be one of its greatest assets for this Chinese brand's continuous development.
