Creating an Alipay Account Creating an Alipay account can take as long as 4 weeks. To create an Alipay account: Step 1 Contact CyberSource Sales for a CyberSource Gateway agreement and an Alipay Merchant agreement. Step 2 Complete both agreements. Step 3 CyberSource Sales submits all documentation to Alipay for approval. When approval is complete, you receive your Alipay merchant ID and password. Step 4 Before CyberSource can implement the Alipay services, you must contact Customer Support to: ■ Configure your merchant account for the Alipay services. ■ Specify your allocated Alipay merchant ID, merchant password, and seller email. ■ Specify your merchant password key. ■ Specify your Alipay return URL—override this URL by specifying the return URL in the apInitiateService_returnURL field. See apInitiateService_returnURL. Configure your transaction time out limit.
