Payment methods

What WHMCS customers can pay with

Each method Alipay supports appears in your WHMCS checkout. Enabling one is a PaymentHood dashboard setting — nothing changes on the WHMCS side.

Alipay wallet

The customer approves the payment with their Alipay app or Alipay login

Web and mobile

Alipay users can pay on the web or on a mobile device

Setup

Connect Alipay to WHMCS

Four steps, no code. The full walkthrough with screenshots is in the WHMCS installation guide.

1

Use your Stripe account

Alipay runs on your own Stripe account. Register with Stripe if you have no account yet, and turn Alipay on in your Stripe Dashboard. Funds settle from Stripe to your own bank account.

2

Add it in PaymentHood

Paste your Stripe credentials into the PaymentHood dashboard. They stay server-side and never reach your storefront.

3

Install the module

Download the WHMCS module and install it from Apps & Integrations in your WHMCS admin.

4

Enable and test

Paste your PaymentHood API key into the module settings, run a sandbox order end to end, then switch to live.

Why PaymentHood

Rather than a direct Alipay module

A single-provider module works until you need a second provider. These are the parts you would otherwise build and maintain yourself.

Webhook security
Received on a PaymentHood URL that carries a secret key; the payload only identifies the payment and is never trusted for its status
Payment verification
Server-side status check of the Stripe payment before an order is marked paid
Credentials
The merchant's own Stripe secret key, the same one used for cards, held server-side in PaymentHood and never exposed to the storefront
  • Add a second provider without touching your WHMCS checkout
  • Automatic failover when Alipay is unreachable, instead of a failed order
  • Idempotent charge creation, so a double-submitted order is not a double charge
  • One reconciliation view across every provider you run
  • Free and open source — read the module on GitHub
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Alipay in PaymentHood runs through Stripe, not through a direct Alipay account. You add Alipay as a provider in your PaymentHood dashboard using your own Stripe secret key, the same key you use for cards, and Alipay has to be turned on in the payment method settings of your Stripe Dashboard.

Stripe describes Alipay's customers as Chinese consumers, overseas Chinese and Chinese travellers. Customers see their purchase amount in CNY.

US Dollar (USD), Euro (EUR), British Pound (GBP), Australian Dollar (AUD), Canadian Dollar (CAD), Swiss Franc (CHF), New Zealand Dollar (NZD), Singapore Dollar (SGD) and Malaysian Ringgit (MYR). Which of these you can use depends on the country your Stripe account is registered in, and Stripe sets a minimum payment amount for each.

No. Your business can't be on Stripe's restricted list or on Alipay's prohibited business list, and your Stripe account has to be registered in a country where Stripe offers Alipay. Your Stripe Dashboard shows whether your account is eligible.

Stripe states that Alipay has no dispute process that could create chargebacks, because the customer authenticates every payment. If a customer raises a problem with Alipay, Alipay may direct them to you to resolve it.

Yes. A refund started in PaymentHood returns the full payment. Stripe allows Alipay refunds up to 90 days after the original payment, and they settle asynchronously, so the final status arrives a few minutes later. A partial refund is possible in your Stripe Dashboard, not from PaymentHood.

Not today. Stripe lists recurring Alipay payments as a private preview, and PaymentHood takes Alipay as a one-off payment, so plan for paying each invoice as it comes due.

No. PaymentHood adds nothing to what Stripe charges: no percentage, no per-transaction cut, and no volume threshold where that changes. Stripe bills you directly for its own processing fees, and you keep that relationship. PaymentHood's only paid plan is Premium at $29 a month, which adds white-label checkout branding and nothing to your transaction cost. See PaymentHood pricing and Stripe's pricing page.
