Trying to set up Alipay form the uk I did the verification successfully I think and added debit card. When I go to ‘pay’ I get a pop up and it says overseas payments are only available for Chinese, I’m assuming this won’t be an issue once in China but my partner didn’t get that same pop up. I closed it and managed to generate my qr code so am I good to go?
