Hi Becky, that is correct-Stripe manages the WeChat payment for you once you've accepted it as a payment method. On the other end, customers will be able to make a payment directly in the WeChat app or via QR code. You can also check which Stripe accounts in the following countries can accept WeChat Pay payments with local currency settlement: stripe.com/docs/payments/wechat-pay
Please, tell me where the "easy" part is in your tutorial... Is it valid for a foreigner in china ? I mean for example, my website generates a QR code (generated by stripe ?) then, the user scans and pay. Also there's numerous exemples where by being a foreigner, you're not allowed to pay for any oversea service. Could you clarify about these ?
If I understand this correctly, it accepts the WeChat payment from the person directly through stripe? Or do I need a WeChat account to get paid into that and then send it to my Stripe?
Okay, so where do you host a website so that it is visible in China? It seems difficult. Is there a way to generate the QR code without having a website so that you can send or embed it in an email?
Hi, thank you for your update. I notice a lot complaint from my client after i used this, as they use to “long pressing” the qr code to be automatic scan within wechat app, this is not applicable. Nor, user cannot print screen the qr code and upload for scanning. In fact, user will need to use other devices, meaning they need to use one device to display the qr code, and another device to scan through the camera scanner function, then only it works, which is very annoying. Hopefully there will be some update regarding this issue? Thanks! ❤
Your documentation is inconsistent-- for Stripe Checkout starter / sample integration allows someone to select We Chat Pay but then fails to mention (or update the code) to show that payment_method_option is a required attribute when setting session params. It's also not appropriately documented in the API reference docs with only acss_debit / oxxo etc. mentioned. One then has to dig through to the Payment Methods Dashboard and then to the associated docs which is yet another documentation area.
Sorry to hear that! We appreciate the feedback about our docs, and we'll take this on board. If there's anything we can help with regarding your integration, please feel free to get in touch: support.stripe.com/contact

Hey there-while we do provide the QR code data after confirmation, that confirmation needs to be done in a web or mobile app using our SDKs.

Hi Don-you would need a WeChat pay account, which is not available for everybody, for this: stripe.com/docs/payments/wechat-pay
