よくある質問
この比較公開後に読者が最も多く送った質問。
Should I use WeChat Pay or cash in China?
Both. WeChat Pay for daily spending in cities (where it's universal), cash as backup for rural areas and offline emergencies. Most travelers also set up Alipay for broader coverage.
Does WeChat Pay work for foreigners?
Yes — link a foreign Visa, Mastercard, or JCB card in WeChat Pay (since 2023). AmEx is not supported. Setup takes 5–10 minutes.
How much cash should I carry if using WeChat Pay?
¥300–500 ($40–70) for backup. WeChat Pay covers most spending in tier-1 cities, but rural areas and offline scenarios still need cash.
Is WeChat Pay or Alipay better?
Alipay has wider merchant coverage (~92% vs ~85%) and better English UI. Most travelers install both — many merchants accept one but not the other.
