WeChat Pay


WeChat Pay (Weixin Pay) is one of the leading mobile payment and digital wallet services in China, integrated into WeChat, the country’s most popular social media and lifestyle app with over 1.3 billion monthly active users. It is the everyday payment choice for Chinese customers, used for both online and in-person transactions. 

For New Zealand businesses, accepting WeChat Pay means more than just adding another payment method. It creates a direct connection to Chinese customers - tourists, students, and residents - through a platform they already know and trust. Beyond payments, WeChat Pay is also a marketing channel, giving businesses exposure through in-app campaigns, promotions, and free visibility on WeChat’s ecosystem.
