Accept WeChat Pay web payments using our APIs, and build your own payment form to have full control over the look and feel of your checkout page.
Before you begin
Before starting your WeChat Pay web integration:
- Make sure that you have set up your back end implementation.
- Add WeChat Pay QR in your test Customer Area.
Build your payment form for WeChat Pay web
Include WeChat Pay web in the list of available payment methods. You don't need to collect any information from the shopper in your payment form.
We provide logos for WeChat Pay that you can use on your payment form. For more information, refer to Downloading logos.
If you are using the /paymentMethods to show available payment methods to the shopper, specify the following:
- countryCode: The country where the shopper is. In this case a supported country outside of China, for example NL.
- amount.currency: Any supported currency. For example, EUR. See Processing currencies for ecommerce for more information.
- channel: Specify Web, iOS, or Android.
The response contains paymentMethod.type: wechatpayWeb.
Make a payment
In your /payments request, specify:
paymentMethod.type: wechatpayWeb
In the /payments response, note the action object. This contains the information needed to redirect the shopper.
Handle the redirect
-
To complete the payment, redirect the shopper to the
action.urlreturned in the /payments response.When using the HTTP GET method:
For security reasons, when displaying the redirect in the app, we recommend that you use SFSafariViewController for iOS or Chrome Custom Tabs for Android, instead of WebView objects. Also refer to the security best practices for WebView. -
After the shopper is redirected back to your website, check the payment result by making a POST /payments/details request, specifying:
details: object that contains the URL-decodedredirectResultreturned when the shopper was redirected back to your site.

In the response note the following:
resultCode: use this to present the result to your shopper.pspReference: our unique identifier for the transaction.

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:
- Canceling 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.
