Are you selling to Chinese customers?
This is the perfect plugin for business owners or entrepreneurs who want to accept WeChat Pay or Alipay payments from Chinese customers.
Stripe.com supports WeChat Pay and Alipay payments, meaning you don’t have to set up a WeChat Official Account or register your business in China in order to accept WeChat Pay. Now, you can easily charge Chinese consumers using a payment method familiar to them and then have the funds deposited into your domestic bank account associated with Stripe. Simple and easy!
WeChat Pay, Alipay & UnionPay Payments Work Seamlessly
Desktop UX:
- WeChat Pay generates a QR code for the end-user to scan using their mobile device
- Alipay payments redirect the user to Alipay’s website, which displays a QR code for the same mobile payment process or to login to the user’s Alipay account, then automatically redirects the end-user back to your selected thank you page upon payment completion
- UnionPay card details are entered directly on your checkout page via a secure Stripe-powered inline card form — no redirect needed.
- Users are redirected to the Thank You page
Mobile UX:
- WeChat users must generate the code on another device and scan it with their WeChat app. A notification pops up on the form notifying them to do this.
- Alipay users are redirected to the corresponding payment website on their mobile browsers to complete payment.
- UnionPay card entry works seamlessly on mobile with a responsive inline form.
- Users are redirected to the Thank You page
Please note
-
You must have a verified Stripe.com account in a supported Stripe country to use this plugin.

Alipay, WeChat Pay, and UnionPay card payments are all supported in the free version for one-time payments. UnionPay cards are entered inline on the checkout page with no redirect required.
The Stripe + Alipay integration is extremely complex and unfortunately requires extensive approval from Stripe to enable recurring Alipay payments. We have deprecated this option from the plugin due to its complexity and rarity of requests. If you want this functionality enabled and have already been approved for recurring Alipay payments from Stripe, please contact our team to request a custom integration project for a one-time fee.
The Free version of China Payments Plugin includes a small 2% transaction fee to help us continue supporting the community with ongoing development and improvements.
Upgrading to PRO removes the transaction fee entirely and unlocks checkout optimizations like Chinese localization and multi-currency CNY display. See our paid plans.
