Please Add Alipay Payment Support for Chinese Users

Hi Cursor team and community! :wave:

First of all, I want to say that I really appreciate Cursor and how it’s making coding more efficient. However, there’s one feature that would make it even better for users in mainland China - Alipay support!

Why Alipay Matters for Chinese Users:

  1. Accessibility:

    • Alipay is everywhere in China with 1 billion+ active users
    • Most Chinese developers already use it daily
    • Super convenient for both mobile and desktop payments
  2. Local Payment Habits:

    • Credit cards aren’t as common in China
    • Alipay is our go-to payment method for software and subscriptions
    • Built-in features like Fapiao (发票) support
    • Familiar security measures we trust
  3. Benefits for Everyone:

    • More Chinese developers can easily subscribe
    • Smoother payment process = happier users
    • Helps Cursor grow in the Chinese market
    • Easier compliance with local payment regulations

Current Situation:
Right now, paying for Cursor in China requires extra steps and workarounds. Adding Alipay would remove these barriers and make the whole process much smoother.

What do others think?

  • Are other Chinese developers facing similar payment challenges?
  • Has anyone found good workarounds?
  • Would love to hear from the Cursor team about the possibility of adding Alipay support

I believe this would be a win-win improvement - easier for Chinese users to pay, and more potential customers for Cursor. Looking forward to hearing everyone’s thoughts! :slightly_smiling_face:
