What is WeChat Pay?

WeChat Pay was introduced in 2013 as part of the popular Chinese app WeChat (Tencent). It has since become one of the largest mobile payment methods in the world, with over 900 million active users. The service is closely intertwined with everyday life in China – from online shopping to the supermarket, everything is done via the app.

WeChat Pay is available to consumers with a Chinese bank account and works worldwide with affiliated merchants. It is a must-have payment method for webshops with Chinese customers (in or outside China).

How does WeChat Pay work as a payment method for online stores?

At checkout, the customer selects WeChat Pay and scans a QR code with their WeChat app, or uses their mobile wallet directly if shopping on a mobile device. The payment is processed in real time, similar to Apple Pay or Google Pay.

For you as an entrepreneur, this means fast payments, fewer errors, and immediate confirmation of the transaction. This is especially useful if you have many mobile visitors or cater to tourism or cross-border e-commerce.

How much does a payment via WeChat Pay cost?

The costs are usually between 1.2% and 2.5% per transaction, depending on the Payment Service Provider, turnover volume, and type of products. Some PSPs also charge a fixed fee or currency conversion costs. Use thefree provider selector to quickly see who supports WeChat Pay and find out the rates.
