Weixin Pay has expanded its partnership with Stripe, enabling in-person payments for global merchants in 20 countries through Stripe Terminal. This move is part of a long-term collaboration that began in 2017.
The integration now allows businesses using Stripe’s latest point-of-sale devices, including the Stripe Reader S700, to accept Weixin Pay from customers face-to-face. This is expected to be especially helpful for merchants serving Chinese consumers abroad.
With this update, merchants can get a full view of their transactions across both online and in-person channels. The integration also improves customer experience by offering data insights that help boost sales and engagement.
Security is another focus. The update includes two-factor authentication, which aims to lower fraud risks and reduce chargebacks. For merchants, the benefits go beyond payments. The partnership unlocks access to the Global Gift Pack Mini Program—a feature of the Weixin ecosystem designed to increase brand visibility and drive customer interaction.
Millions of Chinese people living, studying, or working overseas use Weixin Pay. This partnership gives them more ways to make familiar and secure payments while abroad.
Weixin Pay thanked Stripe for being a trusted partner and emphasized the goal of making unified commerce truly borderless.
This move highlights the growing trend of payment platforms supporting global users through local solutions, especially in the fintech and digital commerce space.
