Introduction

Alipay is a Chinese online payment system of the Alibaba Group operated by the Ant Group. With more than 520 million[3] users worldwide, Alipay is the largest payment and lifestyle platform and has a market share of more than 50% in the online business in the People's Republic of China.

Alibaba company founder Jack Ma considered the red envelope feature to be a "Pearl Harbor moment", as it began to erode Alipay's historic dominance in the online payments industry in China, especially in peer-to-peer money transfer. The success prompted Alibaba to launch its own version of virtual red envelopes in its competing Laiwang service. Other competitors, Baidu Wallet and Sina Weibo, also launched similar features.
