anchor

WeChat Pay supports both one-time and recurring payment flows, providing flexibility for a range of business models.

The payment method will not be saved with the merchant and a consumer is required to authenticate themselves each time a one-time purchase is requested.
  1. Selection at checkout
    Customer selects WeChat Pay as the payment method at checkout.
  2. Authentication and authorization
    Customer is redirected to the WeChat Pay payment page, which contains a QR code to be scanned with WeChat Pay app to confirm payment.
  3. Payment initiation
    Once the payment is authenticated in the app, the transaction is processed seamlessly.
  4. Merchant notification
    After payment is completed, the customer receives a notification, and the merchant receives a confirmation.
  1. Selection at checkout
    Customer selects WeChat Pay as the payment method at checkout.
  2. Authentication and authorization
    Customer is redirected to the WeChat Pay payment page, which contains a QR code issuer's URL to confirm this payment method.
  3. Payment initiation
    Once the payment is authenticated in the app, the transaction is processed seamlessly.
  4. Merchant notification
    After payment is completed, the customer receives a notification, and the merchant receives a confirmation.

Both subsequent CIT and MIT payments are available with the same token.

Additionally, customers can easily cancel the mandate at any time within their app. In such cases, we will cancel subscription and notify the merchant.
The notification about a cancelled mandate is only available to payment providers that can notify when the payment method is no longer linked.

    Customer selects WeChat Pay as the payment method at checkout and enters phone number.
  2. Authentication and authorization
    Customer is redirected to WeChat app to confirm the payment and authorize future automatic debits (“sign mandate”). This process registers the local payment method with the merchant.
  3. Payment initiation
    Once the payment is authenticated in the app, the transaction is processed seamlessly.
  4. Merchant notification
    Once the payment is completed, the customer is notified, and the merchant receives both a confirmation and a token for future recurring transactions.
