Windows 8.1 has been released for nearly two weeks. A reminder to those who are currently using or about to use Windows 8.1: purchasing apps in Win8.1 is much more convenient than in Win8. Alipay fully supports payments in the Windows 8.1 app store, serving as the main payment method aside from credit cards. After domestic users enter the app store, they can use the familiar Alipay.
Unfortunately, Alipay's support for Windows 8.1 isn't yet perfect; during payment, the system still needs to redirect to the Alipay webpage for the payment operation.
In our country, Alipay is one of the most popular payment platforms. In Windows Phone 8, Alipay could already be used to purchase apps, but in the Windows Store on Windows 8, only credit cards were accepted. After listening to feedback from Chinese users, Windows 8.1 drew on the experience of Windows Phone and provided the aforementioned service.
