What is Alipay in place? Where is Alipay available?

In the past few days, I believe many people have discovered that the Alipay function has been officially launched. But many babies don’t know what this is or where it is. So, what is Alipay in place? Where is Alipay available? Let me tell you!

At the end of last month, Alipay’s “location” function was officially released, which allows you to find people nearby who can provide services, such as providing toilet paper, etc. Following the first phase of opening in Shanghai, Alipay's "in place" function has been officially opened to four cities: Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hangzhou. Users in these five cities can see the "in place" entrance in the upper right corner of the Alipay homepage, while other cities still display "咻一咻".

The above scenarios are only very simple usage scenarios of this function. In addition, emergency or other personalized needs like this can be easily realized by "in place". If you really go to the toilet one day and find that there is no paper, you can also try using "in place" - of course, making appointments like "hit someone" is not allowed.

For those who provide services, users can clearly mark the price of the services they provide and exchange their services for good rewards. This seems to be along the lines of the sharing economy.

Alipay insiders said that when Alipay released this video in 2015, it was completely a spoof to release the April Fools' Day idea. Later, they found that it was very consistent with the trend and direction of the sharing economy, so they set up an internal project to promote it and recently turned it into reality. Based on Alipay's internal guidelines, through Alipay's real-name authentication and data and credit capabilities, "in place" service quality and privacy will have the highest reporting barriers.

Alipay has turned April Fool’s Day jokes into reality many times before. As early as April Fool's Day in 2014, Alipay proposed the concept of "Kungfu". By scanning authorization and setting a limit, any physical object can be given value and used to pay. Later, Alipay took the lead in realizing fingerprint recognition and face recognition login based on this concept, and it is not expected that more cool face payment functions will be implemented in the future.
