WeChat Pay via Stripe

WeChat Pay is a single-use payment method that allows your Chinese customers (Chinese consumers, overseas Chinese, and Chinese travelers) to complete payments using the WeChat Pay mobile application.

During checkout, customers scan a QR code displayed on the screen. This opens a payment page within the WeChat Pay app, where customers authenticate and complete the payment.

This integration enhances checkout flexibility and improves conversion for businesses using the Chargebee platform.

Configuring Webhooks

To ensure your Chargebee–Stripe integration functions smoothly, configure webhooks in Stripe to listen for specific events. This allows Chargebee to receive real-time updates whenever events (such as refunds) occur in Stripe.

For this integration to function correctly, the following event must be enabled:

• charge.refund.updated

These events notify Chargebee about the creation, failure, or update of a refund transaction in Stripe, ensuring accurate reflection within your Chargebee account.
