# Adds Alipay support for invoices and subscriptions that send invoices for collection ## What’s new Adds support for using `alipay` as a value for the `payment_settings.payment_method_types` parameter on [Invoices](https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/object.md?api-version=2026-07-29.dahlia#invoice_object-payment_settings-payment_method_types) and [Subscriptions](https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/object.md?api-version=2026-07-29.dahlia#subscription_object-payment_settings-payment_method_types). For both Invoice and Subscription objects, this payment method type is only supported when `collection_method` is `send_invoice`. ## Impact You can now accept [Alipay](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/alipay.md) as a payment method type for invoices and subscriptions. If you have existing invoices or subscriptions that should accept Alipay, update `payment_settings.payment_method_types` for the [Invoice](https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/update.md?api-version=2026-07-29.dahlia) or [Subscription](https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/update.md?api-version=2026-07-29.dahlia) object. ##
