WeChat Pay

WeChat Pay is a digital wallet connected to the eponymous Chinese superapp. In recent years it has quickly become a vital payment method for businesses wanting to reach Chinese shoppers, both home and abroad. WeChat has evolved into an ecosystem that allows Chinese shoppers to chat, browse, and make payments, all in one place - making shopping as easy as chatting to your friends.

In App (App to App) If a Merchant has a mobile app store, the Merchant will have to integrate with the WeChatPay SDK to support payment methods in the Merchant's own app store.

5. Official Account Usually popular in more Chinese speaking markets, Merchants can consider building a profile page on the WeChat social site and prompt shoppers to select products and complete payment within the WeChat social site environment. The payment will still go through Adyen. 6. Mini Program Another spin on Official Accounts, a Mini Program is like a website within the WeChat social site where more customizations from the Merchant are possible and shoppers can select products and complete payment within that environment.
