PayPal Users Can Now Pay in China via WeChat’s Extensive Merchant Network, Easing Payments for Tourists

Tencent has revealed that PayPal users will soon be able to make cashless payments across China by using WeChat Pay’s widespread merchant network through QR code scanning. This new payment option will initially be rolled out to PayPal’s US users and will later expand to other regions. This development bridges PayPal’s 400 million-strong customer base with China’s comprehensive payment landscape, which includes nearly every taxi, eatery, and retail outlet across the country.
