Alipay Rolls Out AI Wallet and Token Pay to Power the Rise of Smart AI Shopping

Alipay has rolled out a complete AI payment system aimed at helping businesses and AI firms handle the growing world of agentic commerce.

The new tools include the AI Wallet for users and Token Pay for AI companies.

Why AI Payments Matter Now

Alipay AI Pay already serves over 100 million people and has handled 300 million transactions.

Users can now watch over AI agents that shop or pay on their behalf using the new AI Wallet in the Alipay app.

This gives everyday people more control before during and after any AI driven purchase.

Token Pay lets AI model firms manage subscriptions and token top ups smoothly.

Companies like MiniMax and Stepfun are already teaming up with Alipay for these services.

The launch also introduces China's first Agentic Commerce Trust Protocol to build safe links between AI systems and platforms.

Over time this kind of setup could make AI assistants a normal part of daily shopping and services.

For regular users it means simpler AI help with less risk of surprise spending.

Looking ahead more payment firms may follow similar paths as AI agents become common in retail and beyond.
