You’ve configured your WeChat Pay and it seems to work in most places. In particular, it works fine in more established venues, shops, restaurants, cafes, hotels, etcetera. However, when paying at more peripheral businesses, or with smaller vendors like street sellers, the payment seems to start going through, but then an error message is thrown up. Ahhh!
Fear not! It seems that to use WeChat Pay with some smaller merchants, you need to update your personal details to include your ID information (Passport in the case of us foreigners) and your cellphone (mobile) number.
Just follow these steps…
1: Click on “Me” and then “Services”
|
2: Select “Wallet”
|
3: Touch “ID Info”
This will take you to the ID page (believe it or not). |
4: Identity Information PageThi |
5: ID Info Page AThis is the all-important page where we update our information.
|
6: ID Info Page B
Scroll down the same page and you should update your cellphone number. |
