Given how hard it was for me to do non cash commerce without a Chinese ID card, it's no surprise that you don't use those features. Do you use the app in English? Maybe the English version doesn't even have these features.
- IIAOPSW 11y agoyeah I have it set to English. I don't think there is an English version per se, just different consumer facing text. Commerce shouldn't be too hard. I have a bank account here and my card is Union Pay.

- cheena 11y agoYou will see different content in the WeChat app depending on your phones language. But as of today, the English version has all of these features mentioned. I have used the Taxi feature (滴滴打车）4 times today. I also pay all my utilities and internet bill within WeChat. When I am outside and people want to buy my products, they can scan my WeChat QR code in an instant.
- IIAOPSW 11y agowhere can I learn the details of becoming a verified seller / whatever? I have some side projects that could benefit greatly from this.
- cheena 11y agoWell any individual can accept payments to their phone of course. But to actually have like some kind of store front on WeChat you need a "Public Account" as stated in the article. Companies that are not registered in China can open one no problem, but only people using the English version will be able to see/access your "Public Account". If you want to sell to Chinese people, you will need to register a Company in China. Of course there are ways around this, there always is in China. Really depends on your strategy and what you are selling, some foreigners selling products here, just create a separate regular account to keep their buyers/followers updated on latest news/products, and talk directly on wechat to accept payment.
