Hi,

Has anyone succesfully added Wechat Pay and Alipay as payment methods on their Shopify page?

I would like to have them active for my potential customers from China and thought changing the payment gateway to Stripe (instead of Shopify Payments) would do the trick.

See how to change it: https://community.shopify.com/c/payments-shipping-and/stripe-option/m-p/2079436

Although the payment methods are active on my Stripe account and the gateway has succesfully been changed to Stripe, Wechat Pay and Alipay are still not available on my Shopify Checkout. (Stripes AI customer service wasn’t helpful at all with this.)

Any help is appreciated!
