Alipay Enables AI Agents to Complete User-Approved Payments

Lets Data Science

"Alipay has added a payments capability to its AI agent ecosystem, letting OpenClaw-type agents complete purchases with explicit user approval. The feature builds on Alipay AI Pay, introduced in 2025, and requires agent installation, identity verification, and per-transaction authorization. It is pre-installed on Alibaba Cloud's JVS Claw and available on Ant Group Digital Technologies' DTClaw, and supports third-party agents such as Claude Code and Hermes Agent."
