How do tourists pay for things in Sweden? Especially smaller value things.
One of the most inconvenient aspects about visiting China is paying for small things. Large department stores and high end restaurants will accept foreign credit cards, but mom and pop stores don’t.
While most still accept cash, sometimes the smaller stores or street vendors won’t have enough for change and you have to wait for them to get it. A few times I even got a discount when they couldn’t give me exact change.
I installed WeChat and AliPay last time I visited, but the payments don’t work if you don’t have a local number, ID, or bank account.
