How Nuvei handles WeChat Pay

  • Payrails sends WeChat Pay to Nuvei only for customers in China. A missing meta.customer.country.code returns an error, and any value other than CN returns an error.
  • Payrails sends WeChat Pay payments to Nuvei as a sale, so Nuvei captures the payment when the customer confirms it.
  • Nuvei has no test environment for WeChat Pay. Test with low-value payments in live mode.
