They do not demonstrate every merchant checkout or establish that a foreign card can fund a personal transfer.

A receiving code is useful only when you understand its limits. [About this project](https://testmywechat.com/about/) ### What does a WeChat payment test actually tell me? It lets you try the scan, recipient review and confirmation steps with a real receiving code. If the transaction completes, that particular payment worked. Merchant purchases, personal transfers and other recipients can have different eligibility rules. ### Can I scan the code on the phone I am using? Save the receiving image first. In WeChat, open +, choose Scan and use the album or photo option if your version offers it. Select the saved image, then inspect the payment screen. A second device is another way to display the code. ### Why might my linked foreign card be unavailable? A card appearing in your wallet does not mean it can fund every transaction. The recipient type and the payment route matter. Read the reason WeChat shows; a restriction on this donation is not a verdict on payments at shops. ### Will the website confirm my payment? No. We do not receive a transaction confirmation from WeChat. Use the status and transaction history in your app. If a debit is pending, resolve it with the wallet or issuer before making another attempt. ### Who receives the money? The selected amount is a voluntary contribution to Julian, the independent site operator. It is not a refundable verification deposit or a charitable payment. The WeChat recipient is julian(***N); the Alipay recipient is Ju(* JULIAN). Read the donation terms and check the recipient in your app before paying. ### Is this an official WeChat service? Test My WeChat is independently operated. Tencent and WeChat do not run or endorse this site. We explain preparation steps; account verification, card details and payment approval remain inside the official app. ## Make your first scan a familiar one. Open WeChat, take a moment to review and stay in control of the payment. [Try WeChat Pay](https://testmywechat.com/#test-payment) [Test my WeChat Pay](https://testmywechat.com/#test-payment)
