Alipay Sees Dramatic Increase in Agent Payment Transactions
Alipay is making waves in the realm of digital transactions as it experiences an extraordinary rise in agent payments, reflecting the rapid growth of agentic commerce in China. Since its debut in 2025, Alipay AI Pay has already facilitated over 120 million transactions just this past week. This groundbreaking autonomous payment system has broadened its reach, finding applications in diverse settings—from enhancing the shopping experience at retail giants like Luckin Coffee to operating seamlessly within AI-enabled smart glasses such as Rokid.
Innovations in AI Payment Technology
In a significant development last December, Alipay joined forces with Rokid to empower developers to incorporate AI payment capabilities into the agents they create on Rokid’s Lingzhu platform. This collaboration is based on the MCP model, allowing a more user-friendly approach. Developers can now implement these advanced payment functionalities into smart devices using natural language, bypassing the need for complex coding. This streamlined process provides a user-friendly payment experience that resonates well with today’s tech-savvy consumers.
Pioneering the Agentic Commerce Trust Protocol
The journey didn’t stop there. In January, Alipay launched the Agentic Commerce Trust Protocol in partnership with notable entities like Alibaba’s Qwen App and Taobao Instant Commerce. This initiative marked a significant step forward, with Qwen App emerging as the first platform to integrate the Protocol, seamlessly connecting with both Taobao Instant Commerce and Alipay’s innovative payment service.

As we witness this evolution in payment technology, Alipay continues to lead the charge in making transactions smoother and more convenient than ever.
The Future of Digital Payments
The expansion of agentic commerce signifies an exciting future where technology and consumer needs intersect more dynamically than ever. Alipay’s advancements not only revolutionize how we handle payments but also set new standards for consumer engagement across various industries.
As the landscape of digital commerce continues to evolve, one thing is clear: the innovations by Alipay and its partners are paving the way for a future where convenience and efficiency reign supreme.
