How To Enable WeChat Pay With Stripe and WishList LMS?

WeChat Pay serves as an e-wallet payment solution enabling customers to securely store payment card information. Through this platform, users authorize transactions using their stored payment methods. Currently ranking as China’s second-largest payment platform, WeChat Pay integration becomes available through WishList LMS’s connection with Stripe.

This comprehensive guide walks you through the configuration process and covers essential information about implementing WeChat Pay with Stripe and WishList LMS.

Receiving Payments With WeChat Pay

WishList LMS supports WeChat Pay exclusively through its integrated Stripe payment gateway. To use it, you must first connect Stripe to WishList LMS on your website. Additionally, test the payment connection to verify proper functionality before enabling WeChat Pay.

Once your Stripe integration is set and verified, you can activate WeChat Pay for your WishList LMS registration forms.

First, enable WeChat Pay in your Stripe Dashboard:

• Log in to your Stripe Dashboard.
• Ir para Settings > Payment Methods.
• Locate WeChat Pay and click Ligar.
• Complete any verification steps Stripe requires.

Next, activate the option in WishList LMS by following these steps:

• Log in to your WordPress website.
• Navegue até Painel de controle > WishList LMS > Configurações > Pagamentos tab.

Warning: WeChat Pay may appear on WishList LMS registration forms even if it is not enabled in your Stripe Dashboard. Activate WeChat Pay in both Stripe and WishList LMS to prevent failed payments.

During registration, members will receive a QR code to scan using WeChat Pay, completing the payment verification process directly on your website.

What’s Important to Know About Using WeChat Pay?

The WeChat Pay payment method appears exclusively when specific requirements are satisfied. The WeChat Pay integration includes certain restrictions established by both WeChat Pay and Stripe.

First and foremost, understand that WeChat Pay functions solely for one-time payment transactions. Consequently, this payment method remains hidden on registration pages for recurring membership subscriptions.

Furthermore, WeChat Pay lacks support for deferred payment arrangements. As a result, WeChat Pay becomes unavailable for membership levels featuring complimentary or premium trial periods.
