Many international travelers discover their Alipay and WeChat Pay don't work in China. Test your setup with a simple ¥1 payment to ensure a smooth experience.
These are standard Chinese payment QR codes, just like you'd find at any street vendor in China.
Make sure you've completed all identity verification steps in your payment app. Both Alipay and WeChat Pay require some form of verification for international users.
Not all international cards work with Chinese payment apps. Try using a Visa or Mastercard if available, or consider using Alipay Tour Pass for travelers.
Ensure your app is set to the international version and that you've enabled international payments in your settings.
If your payment apps don't work, consider bringing cash, using UnionPay cards, or checking if your credit cards are accepted at your destinations in China.
Due to limited personal resources, I do not offer refunds for test payments. After covering operational costs, 50% of all test payments will be donated to CYDF with disclosure at the end of the year.
