Send money to loved ones:

給所愛的人寄錢:

支付寶首先允許你在中國的任何地方給你愛的人寄錢。你可以在應(yīng)用程序中快速、安全地完成所有事情，以便他們?cè)谛枰臅r(shí)候接受和使用。這款軟件在分割賬單的時(shí)候非常棒，被廣泛使用和喜愛。

Pay utility bills:

From landlords and hotel merchants, to other utilities that you have while travelling and staying in China, almost all of them are encouraged to be paid directly through Alipay. It’s great to have everything so widely available all from one simple screen on your phone!

從房東和酒店商人，到你在中國旅行和逗留期間擁有的其他公共設(shè)施，幾乎所有這些都鼓勵(lì)通過支付寶直接支付。在你的手機(jī)上，一個(gè)簡單的屏幕就可以讓所有的東西都可以廣泛使用，這真是太棒了！

Buy airline tickets:

How To Use Alipay To Pay For Things

如何使用支付寶購物

Now that you’ve got Alipay ready to go, you’ll want to learn how to use Alipay professionally so that you don’t need to worry about the actual working of the app itself when you are out and about. The good news is that it is impressively easy so that you aren’t dealing with complex systems or features.

現(xiàn)在你已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好了支付寶，你會(huì)想要學(xué)習(xí)如何專業(yè)地使用支付寶，這樣你就不用擔(dān)心應(yīng)用程序本身的實(shí)際工作，當(dāng)你外出的時(shí)候。好消息是，它非常簡單，這樣你就不用處理復(fù)雜的系統(tǒng)或功能了。

Option 1: Merchants scan your QR code:

選項(xiàng)1: 商家掃描你的二維碼:

When you get to the sales counter, you can display your QR code in the Alipay app and the merchant will scan it using their system to do so. This charges the right amount and all you need to do is hold your phone out.

當(dāng)您到達(dá)銷售柜臺(tái)時(shí)，您可以在支付寶應(yīng)用程序中顯示您的二維碼，商家將使用他們的系統(tǒng)進(jìn)行掃描。這個(gè)功能收費(fèi)正確，你所需要做的就是拿出你的手機(jī)。

Option 2: You scan their QR code:

選項(xiàng)二: 掃描他們的二維碼:

The second option is that they can show you their merchant QR code and you can scan it yourself. For those that tend to enjoy that approach, make sure you know to ask for their code and that you have your phone ready to scan it. Try a few practice runs, too!

第二種選擇是，他們可以向你展示他們的商業(yè)二維碼，你可以自己掃描。對(duì)于那些喜歡這種方法的人，確保你知道要求他們的代碼，并且你的手機(jī)已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好了掃描它。你也可以試著做一些練習(xí)！

It’s as simple as that! When paying for something using Alipay, you’ll find it’s not only the most convenient option, it’s the way that both large and small vendors expect and are ready for. Since it’s used by locals, Alipay for foreigners works essentially the same way and is the preferred method especially when there’s a language barrier or cultural one to deal with as an inexperienced traveller.

就這么簡單！當(dāng)你使用支付寶付款時(shí)，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這不僅是最方便的選擇，而且也是大大小小的供應(yīng)商所期待和準(zhǔn)備的方式。由于支付寶是當(dāng)?shù)厝耸褂玫?，因此?duì)于外國人來說，支付寶的工作原理基本上是相同的，尤其是在有語言障礙或文化障礙的情況下，作為一個(gè)沒有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的旅行者，支付寶是首選的方法。

Enjoy Your Cashless Experience!

享受你的無現(xiàn)金體驗(yàn)吧！

Enjoy the convenience, safety and freedom of working with Alipay by getting familiar with the Tour Pass and understanding how to put your funds into it (easy for those with PayPal experience). It’s a wonderful way to look and feel like a “normal” person in China and it’s also a great way to really get rid of frustrating cash and counting and get everything exact every single time with no hassle, stress or embarrassment.

通過熟悉 Tour Pass 并了解如何將資金投入其中，享受使用支付寶的便利、安全和自由(對(duì)于那些有 PayPal 經(jīng)驗(yàn)的人來說很容易)。在中國，這是一種讓你看起來和感覺起來像一個(gè)“正?！比说暮梅椒ǎ彩且环N真正擺脫令人沮喪的現(xiàn)金和數(shù)錢的好方法，讓每一件事都準(zhǔn)確無誤，沒有麻煩、壓力或?qū)擂巍?/p>

It’s very easy to see why it’s the best option for foreigners of all kinds! Try it out and see for yourself what’s so great about it — you’ll be impressed.
