You can use WeChat Pay on Taobao

Recently, Taobao announced a major update: users can now use WeChat Pay on the platform. This change not only provides users with more payment options, but also marks a major step forward in the cooperation between the two technology giants, Alibaba and Tencent, in the field of payment.

Yesterday, Taobao officially announced support for WeChat Pay. You can now experience it by updating the app to the latest version.

This has not been covered by internal testing before, but after the update of Taobao, WeChat payment can be used.

However, the WeChat payment page is still relatively hidden, and you need to click on "More payment methods" before WeChat payment will be displayed.

After selecting WeChat payment, the payment page will jump directly from Taobao to the WeChat payment page.

As early as the Chinese New Year this year, there were news about the intercommunication between Taobao and WeChat, such as Taobao advertisements appearing in Moments and Xianyu launching a WeChat mini-program.

At that time, Taobao's WeChat payment was still a small-scale, small-scale internal test and trial.

It is unknown what kind of negotiation path the two parties have gone through to officially connect with each other, but it is worth looking forward to what long-term impact the breaking of payment barriers will have on both parties.
