Alipay is the earliest Internet payment tool in China, which belongs to Alibaba.
In 1998, Alibaba set up an online shopping mall on Taobao. Due to the inconvenience of using online banking to pay, Alipay became the payment tool on Taobao.
At the earliest time, Alipay was just embedded in Taobao and used to pay for Taobao. Later, it became a special payment tool.
