A Payment Feature Integrated into the WeChat App

With over 800 million active monthly users, WeChat Pay is a payment tool used by Chinese consumers around the world. WeChat Pay is a payment feature integrated into the WeChat app, a messaging and social media app used extensively in China. WeChat customers can complete payment quickly and efficiently using a Quick Pay feature, QR codes, or in-app payments, all to fulfill a range of payment scenarios. 

Since its start as a chat app, WeChat has grown to become a market-leading platform by connecting people, services, and businesses in China and around the world, allowing merchants to reach out to a global audience, without chargebacks. WeChat also offers Official Accounts, which are similar to a Facebook page, which can be used to gather followers, send push notifications, and redirect customers to a website (or eCommerce). In addition, WeChat offers “mini programs” or sub-applications, that allow merchants to provide advanced features such as coupons, geolocation, and eCommerce.

Citcon offers one simple integration for all mobile payments — including WeChat Pay and 100+ other mobile wallet providers, with free setup and easy onboarding.
