RayNeo teams up with Ant Group to launch in-store AR glasses payments in China.
Building on AR glasses payment technology that enables in-store transactions by scanning Alipay QR codes, RayNeo’s latest X3 Pro AR glasses are the first to support payments through the Alipay Tap! merchant terminal in China. This capability will also be introduced to RayNeo’s other product lines, including the RayNeo V3 and V3 Slim.
Launched by Ant Group in China in 2024, Alipay Tap! enables users to make payments simply by tapping their unlocked phone against a merchant terminal or an Alipay Tap! Tag—no need to open an app, scan a code, or navigate multiple screens. By April 2025, Alipay Tap! had already attracted over 100 million users. With AR glasses, payments via Alipay Tap! are further simplified, offering a hands-free experience.
How Payment via RayNeo AR Glasses Works:
- Users link their RayNeo X3 Pro AR glasses to their Alipay accounts and enable voice verification.
- In-store, users say, “RayNeo, pay 10 RMB.”
- The glasses scan the Alipay QR code or the Alipay Tap! merchant terminal.
- Users confirm the payment by voice, and it’s completed.
Powered by the RayNeoOS 2.0 system, the X3 Pro is RayNeo’s latest AI-enabled AR device, launched in May 2025. It supports features such as AI translation, immersive navigation, and AI-powered recording, offering users a smarter, more convenient experience. The newly added payment capabilities are protected by Alipay’s multidimensional risk-control solution for AR glasses, ensuring that payments are processed only when verified by the authorized user.
The RayNeo X3 Pro will soon bring AR glasses payments to users and merchants worldwide through Alipay+, the unified wallet gateway service under Ant International.
Looking ahead, RayNeo and Ant Group will continue to explore AR glasses applications in everyday services such as unlocking the delivery locker and paying utility bills, with the aim of making AR glasses an integral part of daily life and a true personal assistant on the go.
