TenPayGo for Visitors to China

TenPayGo is a separate Tencent app for visitors, powered by Weixin Pay. It can be a simpler payment option to explore if you do not want to set up payments inside the main WeChat app.

Do this before you go

  1. 01

    Find TenPayGo in the official Apple App Store or Google Play and verify that Tencent Technology (Shenzhen) is the developer.

  2. 02

    Follow the app’s current sign-up and international payment method prompts. Email-based registration and card availability can vary by region and account.

  3. 03

    Confirm your payment method and limits in the app, then try a small purchase when you arrive. Keep Alipay, another card or a little RMB cash as a backup.

If something gets stuck

Are all advertised features available now?

No. The official listing says more local transport and lifestyle services will roll out gradually. Check the current app before depending on transit, translation or tax-refund features.

Does it have an unverified-account spending cap?

We have not found an official published figure. Check the current app terms or ask TenPayGo support.

You’re ready when: I have confirmed TenPayGo works for my account and I have a second payment option.
