Some businesses engaging in "malicious marketing" have caused consumer disputes. Alipay: We will terminate payment services for violators.

On the evening of August 29th, Alipay Open Platform issued an announcement stating that, according to feedback from Alipay users, some merchants had caused consumer disputes by using "misleading advertising" and "malicious marketing" when launching activities such as "talk time vouchers," "short video red envelopes," "data cards," "blind box lucky draws," and "game treasure hunts." Alipay's investigation found that the above marketing methods are suspected of violating the Consumer Rights Protection Law of the People's Republic of China and the relevant acquiring service agreement signed between Alipay and merchants. In order to create a green and healthy consumption environment and protect consumers' legitimate rights and interests, Alipay has terminated payment services for merchants who severely infringe on the rights of users.
