# MemberPress

{% hint style="info" %}
Since WeChat Pay and Alipay don't support recurring subscriptions out of the box, it's only possible to sell Memberships that require manual renewals at this point. Members can manually renew by signing up for the Membership again or logging into their accounts and paying for the next period. 

You should ignore any trial periods, discount periods, etc, and charge your members the full price of one cycle. Alternatively, you can disable WeChat Pay and Alipay for recurring Memberships.

Make sure you've already followed the [Setup Process](https://docs.chinapaymentsplugin.com/getting-started/setup-process) before proceeding.

For Alipay, customers will be redirected to the Alipay website or Alipay mobile app to complete payment. 

For WeChat Pay, customers will be redirected to scan a QR code - they should physically scan the QR code with the WeChat Mobile app camera function:
