Hi Cursor team and community!
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:
-
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
-
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
-
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!
