Alipay+ introduces smart glasses payment solution in Hong Kong
Alipay+, the unified wallet gateway service operated by Ant International, has introduced a smart glasses-embedded payment solution for global e-wallets. The first real-world transaction using this technology took place in Hong Kong. It was completed in collaboration with Meizu, using Meizu StarV Snap smart glasses and AlipayHK, a superapp in Hong Kong. Users can make payments through QR code scans or voice commands, the company said. The system is supported by Alipay+'s AI-driven voice interface, intent recognition, and voiceprint authentication technologies. The feature is expected to be made available to Alipay+ global partner e-wallets in 2025, following the integration of Alipay+'s upgraded technology suite for smart glasses. In April 2025, Meizu announced the introduction of the offline AI glasses-enabled mobile payment function, which is powered by Alipay+. The payment software development kit (SDK) solutions from Alipay+ are now incorporated into all new Meizu smart glasses. These glasses are supported by Meizu's optical waveguide display technology, voice noise reduction and capture technology, and camera-based code scanning technology. Alipay+ connects over 1.7 billion user accounts across 36 global e-wallets, national QR schemes, and banking apps to 100 million merchants in more than 70 markets. Meizu XR Division general manager Peng Guo said: 'The innovation in the payment scenario has enhanced the practicality and appeal of smart glasses and also promoted the progress and development of the AR glasses industry. We hope this function will bring more convenient experiences to users.' Alipay+ has expanded its offerings to include QR-based and card payments through a global NFC solution, as well as a suite of AI features such as MCP-based AI payments that are part of Alipay+ GenAI Cockpit, an AI-as-a-Service platform for financial technology firms. Ant International chief innovation officer Jiangming Yang stated: 'We are grateful to work with industry leaders like Meizu to pioneer smart glasses-embedded payment solutions. 'We look forward to supporting more industry partners with one integration into Alipay+'s premium wallet ecosystem across global markets, to help them build broader user scenarios and achieve growth.' Last month, Alipay+ expanded its collaboration with Whale Cloud, a technology firm, to offer businesses technology solutions for the development of their own mobile applications by leveraging Alipay+ Wallet Tech.
