WeChat Pay

WeChat Pay is a rapidly growing keystone payment method for businesses wanting to reach Chinese shoppers, both at home and abroad. Over 900 million users access the WeChat app each month to chat, browse, and make payments – all in one place.

Once WeChat Pay is enabled, shoppers that meet the requirements will see it as a payment option at checkout.

After proceeding with the order, a QR code will appear for the shopper to scan with their mobile device, allowing them to complete the transaction in their WeChat mobile app.

When the order is placed, it will appear in your control panel as WeChat Pay (via gateway) in the Payment Method field. Orders placed using WeChat Pay share the same fulfillment process as typical orders.
