Abstract

A payment method, apparatus, and device are provided. The method includes: determining, according to geographical location information of a user, a third-party payment institute corresponding to the user's location, obtaining, through a payment server, a payment account of the third-party payment institute compatible for a local transaction, and scanning a barcode to complete a payment using the payment account. During the payment process, a DOI including information of the payment account is presented to a merchant, and the merchant extracts the payment account therein, and forwards order information and the payment account to the third-party payment institute. The third-party payment institute identifies the payment account and forwards the same to the payment server. The payment server identifies a user identity corresponding to the payment account, and then completes the payment process.
