# Alipay iOS Component

Add Alipay to your Components integration.

[View source](/payment-methods/alipay/ios-component.md)

You can add Alipay to your existing integration. The following instructions show only what you must add to your integration specifically for Alipay.

If an instruction on this page corresponds with a step in the main integration guide, it includes a link to corresponding step of the main integration guide.

The additions you must make depends on the [server-side flow](/online-payments/build-your-integration) that your integration uses:

| **Setup steps**       | Before you begin, [add Alipay in your Customer Area](/payment-methods/add-payment-methods).                                                                                                                              |   |

### Add-Parameters-Sessions-Request

## Add additional parameters to your /sessions request

You do not need to add any parameters when you [create a payment session](/online-payments/build-your-integration/sessions-flow?platform=iOS\&integration=Components#create-a-payment-session).

### Add-Configuration

## Add additional configuration for Alipay

You do not need to add any configuration parameters for Alipay.

### Initialize

## Initialize the Component for Alipay

To [initialize](#initialize-the-component) Alipay, use the `InstantPaymentComponent` class.

**Initialize the InstantPaymentComponent**

```swift
let paymentMethods = session.sessionContext.paymentMethods
// Check that the payment method is supported before showing the Component.
guard let paymentMethod = paymentMethods.paymentMethod(ofType: .other("alipay")) else { return }
let component = InstantPaymentComponent(paymentMethod: paymentMethod,
                                        context: context,
                                        order: nil)
self.currentComponent = component
// Set the session as the delegate.
component.delegate = session
component.initiatePayment()
```

## Test and go live

We recommend doing live penny tests:

1. Get an Alipay wallet app, set it up with a credit or debit card, and do live penny tests (payments for a minimal amount).

2. View the details of your Alipay test payments in your [live Customer Area](https://ca-live.adyen.com/) > **Transactions** > **Payments**.

Before you can accept live Alipay payments, you need to submit a request for Alipay in your [live Customer Area](https://ca-live.adyen.com/).
