China Payment Survival Guide

中国移动支付生存指南

A practical pre-arrival guide for Alipay, WeChat Pay, foreign cards, backup cards, RMB cash, and payment-readiness checks after landing.

This guide helps you check before departure whether Alipay and WeChat Pay are installed and logged in, whether your card has been attempted for linking, whether the scan and payment-code screens can open, and whether you have backup cards plus a small RMB/CNY cash plan. Actual payment results still need low-pressure verification after arrival in real merchant scenes such as convenience stores, coffee shops, hotels, or other legitimate merchants. One successful payment does not guarantee every future payment; one failed payment does not prove the whole setup is unusable.
