Visiting China to source: can I use WeChat and pay with Weixin Pay or Alipay with my foreign card?

In forceOfficial textChecked
Answer

WeChat's help centre says you can sign up with a foreign number and add a foreign card to Weixin Pay for everyday purchases in China. Its guidance describes no fee below RMB 200 and 3% above; check the payment screen. Don't assume it can pay a supplier.

Applies to
Overseas buyers travelling to mainland China for fairs, factory visits or markets.
