The ¥1 rehearsal

One yuan of certainty.

A live, low-stakes payment through a China-facing checkout. See whether your card clears — and get a useful next step if it doesn't.

  • About two minutes
  • Hosted checkout
  • Private result

This tests one online payment path. It cannot guarantee acceptance at every merchant, QR code or wallet.

Before the test

The test checks the card. The wallets still need setting up.

A cleared ¥1 payment does not complete identity verification or link a card inside Alipay or WeChat Pay. Do that first, then use the test to check the card path.

  • Install Alipay and WeChat Pay from your phone's official app store.
  • Complete passport verification in each wallet you plan to use.
  • Link a card in your own name and approve any 3-D Secure prompt.

Card details are entered on our payment partner's hosted checkout. We never see or store them.

You'll continue to a hosted checkout to complete the payment.

What this tells you

  • +01Whether your card can complete a live online CNY payment through this checkout.
  • +02Which card path works today, with a real result instead of a checklist.
  • +03The payment provider's decline signal, when one is available.
  • +04A private result page that opens right after payment — bookmark it for your records.

What it cannot tell you

  • −01Whether every shop, restaurant or QR code will accept that same card.
  • −02Whether your Alipay or WeChat Pay identity verification will pass — the report covers that separately.
  • −03Whether your bank will lift or impose a block later in the trip.
  • −04How cash, ATMs or offline terminals will behave in every city.
