e‑Payment Setup (WeChat Pay / Alipay)

Enable smooth Chinese payments via WeChat Pay or Alipay on your website, WeChat account, or physical store.






As more Chinese consumers expect seamless digital payments, offering 

WeChat Pay or Alipay 

can significantly boost your conversion and user trust. These platforms power in-app payments, QR code transactions, and cross-border eCommerce.


Yet, onboarding foreign businesses requires regulatory authorisations, platform approvals, gateway setup, and compliance with Chinese financial protocols.

Drifttle partners with trusted payment facilitators and tech integrators to guide you through registration, API configuration, and testing—ensuring payment flow works reliably and securely.




Why You Need Help

Integrating Chinese payment systems may seem straight‑forward, but foreign participation is subject to strict licensing, banking regulations, and API compliance. Misconfigured systems lead to failed transactions, compliance warnings, or frozen accounts.
