Commerce Alipay
Alipay integration for the Drupal Commerce payment and checkout system.
Features
Unfortunately, there isn't much of an English Alipay document describing the different services.
More information would be available in Chinese at: ????? ????????????????.
Currently supports the following Alipay service types:
? Instant Payment / ??????????? (tested and supported)
Through an instant payment channel, an Alipay account owner is able to remit directly to seller, enabling quick gathering and withdrawal of funds, resulting in an improved utilization of funds.(see screenshot of the payment pane on checkout when the Instant Pay payment method is enabled)
More work and testing to be done on:
- Escrow Payment / ???????????
The third-party (Alipay) guarantees that the buyer can receive goods and seller can obtain the funds. The usually procedure being:
Buyer Pays >> Seller Sends Goods >> Buyer Confirms Goods >> Seller Confirms
Payment.
Due to its more complete workflow, it is considered as one of the most trusted online payments for buyers.
- Dual-function Payment / ??????????
Allows the buyer to select between Instant Payment and Escrow Payment to process the funds, providing more flexibility for the buyer.
- Delivery Confirmation / ??????
Enables merchants to confirm the sending of goods by clicking the "Send button" without logging into their Alipay account. The corresponding product/order information would be synchronized to the corresponding Alipay account.

(please help).
Module currently supports Instant Payment service account types.
Other service types could be supported to some extent with some customization through the hook_commerce_alipay_parameter_alter
(see API document).
Debug mode:
It is possible to enable a debugging mode, to override all transactions to a
total of 0.01 CNY, which is very useful for testing if everything has been
correctly setup or ensuring payments could effectively be received.

Useful Resources
For any questions and problems, you may find some help on the Alipay official site:
1 - Merchant Help Center:
Apply for integration consultation, and you could expect a professional
technician to contact you.
2 - User Help Center.
3 - Alipay Forum:
For general discussions, inquiries, future developments or API changes, etc...
4 - Alipay Chinese API Document.
Future developments:
There have already been some discussions around the possibility of implementing different service types with different payment methods.
A suggested 7.x-2.x branch could potentially be created to provide a better support for other service types, such as Escrow or SendConfirm.
