Right now Alipay isn’t available for The X Subscription. If your current Cursor plan is paid with Alipay, the switch page will show “Alipay payments aren’t supported yet”. A current Cursor plan keeps working the same way it does today, so you don’t need to switch. We will continue to work on enabling more payment methods.

For new customers, if you have a Visa or Mastercard with international payments enabled, you can use it at checkout. @tangjun, for the declined card, please email [support@x.ai](mailto:support@x.ai).
