MemberPress

This page covers everything you need to know about the China Payments Plugin + MemberPress integration.

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 before proceeding.

To activate WeChat Pay and Alipay for WooCommerce, ensure you have MemberPress installed.

To activate WeChat Pay or Alipay, go to MemberPress > Settings > Payments.

Click on the “+” sign, then select either "WeChat Pay via Stripe" or “Alipay via Stripe”. Then click on “Update Options.”
