WeChat Pay iOS Component

Add WeChat Pay to an existing iOS Components integration.

Our WeChat Pay iOS Component renders WeChat Pay in your payment form and triggers the app switch from your app to the WeChat app on the shopper's device.

Before you begin

This page explains how to add WeChat Pay to your existing iOS Components integration. The iOS Components integration works the same way for all payment methods. If you haven't done this integration yet, refer to our Components integration guide.

Before starting your WeChat Pay integration:

Make sure that you have set up your back end implementation for making API requests.
Add WeChat Pay in your test Customer Area.
Create a developer account on the WeChat Open Platform.
Register your mobile app with WeChat.
In Xcode, go to File > Project Settings > App Target > Info, and:
a. Under URL Types, go to URL Schemes, and add your registered WeChatPay app ID with identifier weixin .
b. Go to LSApplicationQueriesSchemes, and add weixin.
Add WeChat Pay to CocoaPods or Carthage.

CocoaPods

Add pod 'Adyen/WeChatPay' to your Podfile.

Carthage

Add AdyenWeChatPay.framework to:
- app "build settings"/"Build Phases"/"Embed Frameworks".
- app "build settings"/"Build Phases"/"Link Binary to Libraries".
- app "build settings"/"Build Phases"/"Dependencies".

Show WeChat Pay in your payment form

Include WeChat Pay in the list of available payment methods. You don't need to collect any information from the shopper in your payment form.

Specify in your /paymentMethods request:
- countryCode: CN
- amount.currency: Any supported currency. For example, CNY. See Processing currencies for ecommerce for more information.
- channel: Specify iOS.
The response contains paymentMethod.type: wechatpaySDK. Serialize it and put it into an object.

Decode the /paymentMethods response with the PaymentMethods structure. Find the payment method object for the WeChat Pay Component.

let paymentMethods = try JSONDecoder().decode(PaymentMethods.self, from: paymentMethodsResponse)

// Check if paymentMethod type is not null and if the device is supported.
if let paymentMethod = paymentMethods.paymentMethod(ofType: WeChatPayPaymentMethod.self), WeChatPaySDKActionComponent.isDeviceSupported(){
// If the two conditions are true, show payment UI.
}

Create an instance of APIContext with the following parameters:

Parameter name Required Description
clientKey Your client key.
environment Use test. When you're ready to accept live payments, change the value to one of our live environments.
https://docs.adyen.com/payment-methods/wechat-pay/wechat-pay-in-app-payments/ios-component#apicontext-initialization
APIContext initialization
// When you're ready to go live, change environment to Environment.live // You can also use other environment values described in https://adyen.github.io/adyen-ios/Docs/Structs/Environment.html let apiContext = APIContext(environment: Environment.test, clientKey: clientKey)
Initialize the WeChat Pay payment UI.

WeChat Pay is only shown in the payment form if WeChat app is available in the shopper's device.

Make a payment

Pass the paymentComponentState.data.paymentMethod to your server.

From your server, make a /payments request, specifying:

paymentMethod.type: The paymentComponentState.data.paymentMethod from your client app.

The /payments response includes an action object that contains information about the app switch.

Store the action.paymentData on your server, and pass the action object to your client app.

            "key": "resultCode",
            "type": "text"
        }
    ],
    ...
}

Handle the app switch

To switch the shopper to the WeChat app, initialize the weChatPayActionComponent, and pass the action object.

if case let .sdk(sdkAction) = action, case let .weChatPay(weChatPaySDKAction) = sdkAction {
  weChatPayActionComponent.handle(weChatPaySDKAction)
}

After the shopper has completed the payment, the WeChat app redirects them back to your app.

Check the payment result

After the shopper returns to your app, make a POST /payments/details request from your server and provide the data from the didProvide method from your client app.

Present the payment result

Use the resultCode that you received in the /payments/details response to present the payment result to your shopper.

The resultCode values you can receive for WeChat Pay are:

resultCode	Description	Action to take
Authorised	The payment was successful.	Inform the shopper that the payment has been successful. You will receive the funds in 2-3 days.
Cancelled	The shopper cancelled the payment while on the WeChat app.	Ask the shopper whether they want to continue with the order, or ask them to select a different payment method.
Error	There was an error when the payment was being processed.	Inform the shopper that there was an error processing their payment. The response contains a `refusalReason`, indicating the cause of the error.
Pending or Received	The payment order was successfully received.	Inform the shopper that you've received their order, and are waiting for the payment to clear. You will receive the final result of the payment in an AUTHORISATION notification. If successful, you will receive the funds in 2 days.
Refused	The payment was refused by the shopper's bank.	Ask the shopper to try the payment again using a different payment method.

Test and go live

WeChat Pay currently has no test platform. If you have a personal WeChat account you can test your integration by either:

Cancelling the transaction when you are asked to verify the payment (recommended).
Making live WeChat Pay payments with a low value.

You can check the status of a WeChat Pay payment in your Customer Area > Transactions > Payments.

Before you can accept live WeChat Pay payments, you need to submit a request for WeChat Pay in your live Customer Area.
