Alipay AI Collection Officially Launched: Three-Step Integration for Instant Payment, Zero Fees for Free Use
Today, Alipay officially launched "Alipay AI Collection," helping merchants and individual developers provide commercial services through AIAgent like OpenClaw (commonly known as "Lobster") and achieve instant payment based on usage. Notably, this is Alipay's further layout in the intelligent agent payment field following the launch of "AI Pay."
To illustrate with a specific example, when a user installs a certain Skill, and says to "Lobster," "Help me organize the latest analysis report on the AI industry," "Lobster" initiates a resource request and inquires about pricing from the server, and then provides feedback to the user, "You need to pay 0.02 yuan to obtain the results." After the user downloads and installs the "Alipay AI Pay" Skill, authorizes it, and completes the payment, they can obtain the resource service.
The product is now available on Alipay's official website A2A transaction area (https://aipay.alipay.com/). The integration process has also been compressed to three steps: registration and signing, application creation, and SDK installation, allowing you to trigger price inquiries and settlements each time an AI Agent calls it.
It is worth mentioning that individual developers can enjoy a 0% fee rate until December 31st.
In addition, merchants already using Alipay's payment collection services can directly integrate their service Skills into AI Agents such as "Lobster." After users issue instructions and place orders, payment will be automatically completed without the need to rebuild payment collection tools.
